PRECAST CONCRETE ELEMENTS180 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 6 | 2025 www.cpi-worldwide.comChallenge Mastered: Precision Despite LimitationsDuring the project, several customer-specific requirements had to be fulfilled:%u2022 Integration into the existing pitThe new battery formwork was integrated into the pit of the previous system, allowing the existing infrastructure to be reused and minimising conversion effort.%u2022 Stability and dimensional accuracyDue to the high requirements for the flatness and dimensional accuracy of the produced concrete elements, the formwork was designed to be particularly torsion-resistant. Panels are clad with 10 mm thick steel sheet, with a flatness tolerance of %u00b11.5 mm over 3 m, ensuring consistently precise production results.%u2022 Self-compacting concreteThe formwork is designed for top-down concrete pouring and meets the requirements for tightness and stability during the processing of self-compacting concrete (SCC).%u2022 Hydraulic clampingA hydraulic clamping unit with 2 %u00d7 4 cylinders per side ensures uniform pressure distribution and reliable clamping during concreting and curing.%u2022 Magnetic formwork systemThe magnetic formwork components enable rapid adaptation to different element heights and geometries.%u2022 Continuously adjustable wall thicknessVariable top angles and top boxes allow wall thicknesses from 100 mm to 250 mm to be adjusted continuously without additional conversion time.%u2022 Ergonomic operationOperation and access to the formwork are facilitated by integrated walkways and the new scissor lift platform, enhancing both safety and productivity. The formwork was precisely matched to the existing pit and, in combination with the new lift platform, constitutes a modern, ergonomic, and safe production unit.The formwork design ensures excellent surface quality with minimal dimensional tolerancesWork on the panels is made more user-friendly by the scissor-type lift platform
