MOMENT® SPEEdFORMTM
Lightweight, Multiple Shapes, variety Of applicationsThe formwork of the future is here now!
The innovative solution to conventional formwork SpeedformTM is the result of many years of intensive research and development overseas.The basic material consists of a steel wire mesh with a heat-shrunk layer of polyethylene applied to both sides of the mesh.
This combination creates a material that is both light and structurally strong, making it extremely easy to handle.
SpeedformTM not only IMPROVES SITE SAFETY but also SAVES TIME, CONCRETE & LABOUR!

SpeedformTM is a versatile formworking material perfect for those radius specifications. The strength and versatility of SpeedformTM make it the natural choice for the following applications:
• Groundbeams
• Footingsandbases
• Pilecaps
• Constructionjoints(stopends)
• Specialshapesorcurves
• Voidformation
• Ribbedandwaffleslabs
• Penetrations
• Recesses
• Temporaryfencing

PreformedSpeedformTM is pre-formed and delivered to site ready for assembly or it can be simply folded on site using a manual folder.
High Speed FormworkSpeedformTM is designed for fast assembly. No hammer, nails or saws, just tie-wire.
Easy Installation ProcedureBecause is it pre-formed, it is easily assembled using on site labour.
SITE SAFETYSpeedformTM can provide enhanced site safety by:
• Back-filling excavations earlier than with conventionalformwork
• Minimisingneedforworkerstobeinexcavations• Reducing the heavy labour needed for conventional

How strong is SpeedformTM ?
To demonstrate the strength of SpeedformTM as a formwork system, a sheet of SpeedformTM was bent into a 450 mm square x 1200 mm high form to replicate a form that would be used for a footing. The base was restrained by wood blocks, and three straps were used to hold the form body together.Two reinforcing bars were inserted through opposite sides.The inside of the form was then filled with ready mixed concrete.
As can be seen in this photograph, a minor amount of bulging is evident on the sides, but no other distress to the SpeedformTM is indicated. No leakage is visible, and there is no evidence of leakage at the locations where the reinforcement bars penetrated the sides.
As SpeedformTM is primarily intended as a sub-grade formwork system that is backfilled on the outside of the form before the concrete is poured, bulging of the sides will be negligible, as the sides will be restrained by the backfill.

Foundation - Bases
Bases can be constructed from either L-shapes or flat strips of Pecaform'"' similar to either beam or pile cap construction. Lean concrete blinding is applied in the traditional manner, and the reinforcement cage complete with spacer blocks at the bottom is lowered onto the blinding.
Pecaform"" is then placed against the side of the cage and spaced off the reinforcement with strips of long spacers, bar chairs or equivalent.
Backfill excavation up to 1 50 mm from the top of the Pecaform"' to prevent contamination.
Beam options
Ground beams can be divided into two categories:
D Suspended Beams (on piled foundation)
The ground on which the beam is constructed should be capable of safely supporting the weight of the wet concrete during construction. Only nominal surface compaction is required and a thin layer of sand blinding to level the formation and bed-in the beam soffit may be necessary.
II Ground Bearing Beams
These are founded in the bearing strata. Therefore, a thin layer of sand may be used as blinding to bed-in the Pecaform"'. Unless supported independently, Pecaform ... relies on backfill to counteract the pressure exerted by the concrete pour. Suitable spacers attached to the reinforcement cage ensure the beam profile is maintained.

Speedform™ can be used to surround large diameter bored pile cages in poor ground conditions. Any radius can be easily formed using either standard or cut-to-size units, and can be pre-formed to fit the pile cage.
Speedform™ is also suitable for manhole casing formwork or circular bases can be produced using composite units to suit varying diameters and depths, for instant site assembly against the reinforcement cage.
It also can also be used for construction above the ground of large diameter r.c. bases using tensioned straps for support during the concrete pour. This enables the units to be struck and re-used for other bases.

Girders
For beams and footings up to and including 1.5 m in depth, where the SpeedformTM formwork is required to be re-used several times, the fastest and easiest technique is the girder system.This consists of a system of tie rods and girders strategically placed to give rigidity to the system during concreting. A simple locking mechanism at each end of the tie rod is designed to lock or unlock the girder and SpeedformTM
with great ease and speed.The SpeedformTM girder system for foundation formworking consists of:
• SpeedformTMVR6• Tierodsandlockingnails
The SpeedformTM foundation formworking system represents the most economical alternative to conventional formwork.
Progressive Backfill Method
SpeedformTM is supplied in U-Shapes for beams and pre-formed strips for footings to form the required profiles. These are assembled on the blinding, wired together, and lined up. Placing approximately 200 mm of backfill against the SpeedformTM stabilises the material prior to the concrete pour.
Backfilling should continue together with the concrete pour to counteract the increasing pressure on the SpeedformTM as the level of the concrete pour rises. Backfilling is required up to within 150 mm from the top of the beams and footings to avoid contamination.
Spacing timbers are recommended to maintain the beam width, but once the pour reaches the top of the SpeedformTM these should be removed to allow vibrating and surface finishing of the concrete.
Construction Joints
SpeedformTM is a suitable material for construction joints. Dependingon thedepthofconcrete tobe retained,supportmethods may vary.
Massive foundations such as those used for high rise buildings have many construction joints.
SpeedformTM provides a tearproof formworking membrane which allows starter bars to be fixed in position without drilling. The timber joist bracing for the SpeedformTM will also act as a support for the reinforcement.
