Fast Form Bracket System offers complete slab wall & sheet pile capping formwork Solution

Fast-Form provides complete solution for different types of pile cap, slab, base, beam, wall and sheet pile capping beam formwork whether they come in straight or radius, single or double sided.

This system can efficiently bolts together to facilitate casting kickers, plinths, hang bolts as well as monolithic bund walls etc.

There are 2 types of bases to pin directly to hard-core and ground by means of road pins, or bolt with re-usable concrete bolts to slabs and blinding concrete or even fasten them to decking with wood screws.

This system can be used without any difficulty. Just attach the brackets in a line and plumb up, screw on your ply from behind and pour your concrete.

Brackets are angled forward or back to make adjustment with sloping and battered pours along with irregular ground, thus making them much more compliant as compared to timber or panel systems.

The brackets are generated from superior grade galvanized steel to get rid of rust and they have longevity of 25 years plus. They are strong and do not get damaged. They can be also used underwater. Different sizes are available which range from 150 / 200 / 400 / 600 / 800 / 1200 & 1800mm high.

KEY BENEFITS:

• SAFETY: Access, handrails & toe boards, lightweight system that can be easily set up manually instantly and securely.
• SPEED: No need of de-nailing, lightweight and user-friendly system much faster as compared to conventional process and very simple to use with low labour skill levels.

• COST: It is very cost-effective as compared to timber with reduced labour and plant costs.
• ENVIROMENTAL: Little or no timber wastage and 100% completely recyclable materials which significantly minimize carbon emission deliveries.
• BETTER FINISH: Fair face finishes are obtained easily. The brackets are available with an F4 finish. So, fewer remedial works are required. Ply is fixed from behind systems, so, there is no marks on face of the concrete and any grade ply can be utilized as per your requirement.

Details of technical specifications of bitumen macadam & bitumen concrete for any road work

This construction video briefly explains the technical specification for bitumen macadam and bitumen concrete essential for any road work.

Bitumen Macadam alias Asphalt Concrete is formed by blending aggregate, filler and bitumen and come in solid, medium or open graded on the basis of the end application.

Macadams are categorized into three primary layer categories like Base, Binder and Surface Course. It is applied as a binder course for roads where lots of heavy commercial vehicles pass through as well as a closed-graded premix materials exist with voids content 5-10 per cent. It has strong and long-lasting surface.

Bituminous concrete refers to a sort of construction material that is employed for paving roads, driveways, and parking lots. It is formed by mixing stone and other forms of aggregate materials combined jointly through a binding agent. This binding agent is known as "bitumen" and is a by-product of petroleum refining. It contains a dense, sticky texture like tar once heated, then develops a thick solid surface as soon as it gets dried. Bituminous concrete is also extensively recognized as asphalt in various parts of the globe.

This material does not include cement. It has typical black appearance. It is frequently placed right over a gravel base layer to build up new roads and parking lots, but may also be poured over prevailing concrete to patch-up or smooth out bumps and voids.

As soon as the bituminous concrete are poured onto the roadway, the surface is leveled and compacted through a large paving machines.

For Bituminous Macadam :-
1) Grade of bitumen should be vary from 60 to 70

2) Temperature at different stages :-
a) At the time of blending materials maximum temperature should be 1650C
b) At the time of laying, the temperature should be 1250C
c) At the time of rolling, the temperature should be 900C

3) Levels (tolerance) – At the time of rolling, the layers should be +6 M to -6 M.
4) Field Density Test – Here, compaction should be 98%; 1 test per 250 m2 of area.
