Product description
The RAPID recoverable modular formwork system is used in reinforced concrete slabs, lost pile
grid slabs, joist and vaults slabs, hanging beams, etc.
Continual formwork assures the safety of the workers both while assembling the plywood and
while putting up the joist and vaults.
Assembly can be executed without the need to use any tools other than a hammer.
There are two types of main beams; therefore it has two variants of the system: RAPID 1 m and
RAPID 0.67 m.
System elements are very durable, due to the system design and the robust materials of which it is
manufactured with surface finishes coated in epoxy paint.
The main beams used together with the props or shoring towers, comprise the Remaining
Structure of the RAPID system, while all other elements constitute the Recoverable Materials.
After concrete is poured, the recoverable materials (boards, secondary beams and recoverable
heads) can be recuperated within 3 days to be reused.
Installing board with nets under slab avoid any fall at different levels.
It is not necessary to reprop the shoring or to move the props from the time the structure is
assembled until it is completely dismantled.
Open grids, with a standard opening of 2 m, achieve highly efficient assembly processes and leave
enough space through which vehicles and mobile towers can pass.
Flexible system
Can be adapted to different geometrical shapes with varying grid dimensions, using
different dimensions of main beams and changing the direction of the grid.
To infill against columns and walls.
To provide solutions in perimeter areas with the cantilever running in the direction of the
secondary beam and with the main beam running lengthwise.
Few props per m2; can easily be reinforced to permit pouring thick slabs by either reducing the
width of the grids or by incorporating more props.
Structure can be shored with props or shoring towers.
The whole steel structure can be assembled on one side, and the plywood can then be put
up by the same or different work crews.
Safe system
Easy to incorporate handrail protection around the perimeter and holes.
Board installation can be safely executed from mobile towers positioned in the open grids,
from above after having hung nets under the formwork or with workers tied off to lifelines
between columns.
Board is installed between the main beams and the secondary beam tabs, which lock it in
place impeding its movement without the need to nail it down.

BOARD
The board commonly used to form the RAPID system's

shuttering face is the 3 layer plywood. Users can
choose between TRIMAX and TRI qualities.
Trimax
TRIMAX is a high quality 3 layer plywood comprising
three layers of spruce wood in which the outside layers
run lengthwise while the inside layer runs crosswise.
Available manufactured thicknesses: 21 and 27 mm.
TRIMAX is resistant to boiling water and atmospheric

conditions. It is bonded with an AW 100 type bond in
accordance with NORM B3023. The outside surface is
coated with 130 g/m2 synthetic yellow melamine resin
coating, and the edges are sealed.
The inside sheets are bonded over their whole surface,

sanded and calibrated, thus assuring uniform thickness
for all TRIMAX sheets.
Due to its high quality it has a high durability.
Tri
TRI is a 3 layer plywood comprising three layers of
select softwoods (spruce or pine) in which the outside
layers run lengthwise while the inside layer runs
crosswise.
The sheet is bonded with an AW100 type bond in

accordance with NORM B3023.
Available manufactured thicknesses: 21 and 27 mm.

The outside surface is coated with 120 g/m2 synthetic

G SHORING
The G Shoring system is used to support horizontal
formwork when that formwork exceeds the maximum
height that can be reached by the props.
The system structure basically comprises its frame.

These frame elements are assembled one on top of
another until reaching the desired height, using the
different frame heights in combination with the base
jacks.
This shoring system has different heads that facilitate

shoring the main beams or the support beams as
necessary.
The following working loads are provided to guide the

user, always taking into consideration that the shoring
has been properly assembled following the assembly
instructions:

System features
There are two variants of the RAPID System according to the type of the Main beam:
RAPID 0.67 m
RAPID 1 m
RAPID 0.67 m
The system can be applied to any type of work because of its flexibility and strength. With this variant of the RAPID
both props such as secondary beams are assembled every 67 cm. Sockets, to enter the props have 32 mm.
RAPID 1 m
RAPID 1 m can save up to 25% of the cost of material, particularly in the implementation of reduced thickness slabs
or lightened ones. By locating the secondary beams each 1 meter, the props can be arranged to coincide with the
interval (B layout) or every 0.5 m (A + B layout), it is possible to use lighter props and therefore cheaper ones. The
sockets are different for each layout to facilitate the proper assembly: one round, 25 mm diameter socket (B layout)
and one square, 20 mm socket (A layout).
Both systems are compatible and share the same accessories.

STORAGE
The Main beams, the Secondary beams, the Support
beams and the Boards are supplied on properly strapped
packages. Other elements are supplied in bulk in boxes
or in pallets.
The storage of the different components has to be done

always after their cleaning and each use.
The Boards should be piled off separately from the

ground level on brackets and in an covered area.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight and

rain may damage the Boards.
LIFTING MATERIAL
The biggest parts should be lifted or lowered by hoist to
the different floors (or different heights) in packages that
are strapped on both ends. Material shall be suspended
by slings strapped to the tower crane hook. The other
elements are moved in boxes.
CLEANING
The cleanliness of the formwork surfaces should be
checked before assembling the materials that comprise
part of the formwork. After each use, the boards should
be cleaned with release agent applying it with brush.
Do not use wire brushes that can

damage the surface of the board.

CRITERIA FOR ELIMINATING NON-VALID PARTS
Provided below is the criteria for identifying parts that, due to deformations or breakage that may occur,
are considered not valid for use because these damages imply a risk of accidents to the operators who are
handling the material or a risk of breakage to some system component when it is loaded.

USING THE RELEASE AGENT

Release agent is used to keep concrete from sticking to the formwork, thus increasing number of
times formwork can be used.
The release agent plays an important role in assuring the quality of the concrete surface. It serves
the purpose of assuring there are no surface holes and that color is uniform.
To avoid bonding between the concrete and the formwork surface, the release agent creates a
water resistant film, thus assuring that the water and the cement suspended in the surface
cannot come in contact with the formwork surface.
The properties of the release agent should be compatible with the concrete and with the
formwork on which it is going to be applied. This compatibility should comply with the following
characteristics:
It should not cause holes nor generate color variations or other surface defects.
With the objective of avoiding interactions in the concrete curing and hardening process,
it must not be soluble in water.
It must make the formwork more durable.
It must not be a health hazard to the workers who handle it.
As well as improving the concrete surface, the release agent minimizes the damages inflicted on
the formwork surface. It also facilitates striping all types of molds and reduces residues, thus
achieving long life board surfaces.
Additional information on the release agent
The release agent recommended by ULMA Construccin should be applied directly to

surfaces, and it is formulated from mineral and chemical components with properties superior
to conventional oils. Chemically, it forms an impermeable film over the board, which protects
the formwork and the concrete.

Cleaning and removing
The formwork surfaces should be

cleaned carefully before applying
the release agent. It can be
brushed, rolled or sprayed on.
When possible it is recommended
to use a sprayer.

General safety tips
RECOMMENDATIONS
The prop support must be

horizontal with a flat surface and
stable base.
The prop must be plumbed.

YES
The load applied over the prop

will be vertical and centered.
Horizontal loads must not be
exerted on the prop.
YES
The props must individually be

used between the support and the
load. It is not advised to join these
together in order to use them at
higher heights since that could lead
to collapses and decreased working
loads.
47
Construccin
Do not use the formwork as a

material storage platform, loading
specific areas.
Always distribute loads uniformly by
sorting out the stored materials.
Do not drop objects or jump on the

shuttering boards.
Pour the concrete in layers or levels

of uniform thickness and continually
vibrate. Do not permit concrete to
accumulate or build up in mounds to
be subsequently leveled out.

Construccin
HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE CONDITIONS
Follow the Project instructions strictly.

Always follow the Manufacturers General Instructions.
Always follow Internal Safety Standards.
The assembly of the mechanical elements and the board should be conducted safely, using
either mobile towers, nets under the formwork or lifelines.
The props should be used properly, observing load limits, plumbing and with stable
support.
When height of prop is exceeded, use shoring system.
Personal and group safety equipment:
1. The personal protective equipment should include: hard hat, safety footwear, gloves and
tool holder belt. It can also include an anti-fall harness and lifeline.
2. If necessary, use protective goggles or masks, hearing protection, breathing masks,
reflective jackets and any other element required in the relevant occupational Health
and Safety guidelines.
3. The safety handrail should be used as group protection, and, when applicable mobile
towers, nets under the formwork and perimeter scaffolding will also be used.
Safety Heads must be assembled in order to install the handrail on the steel structure. The
housing is included in the perimeter solution.
Pallets and boxes must be used when transporting material to the construction site and on
the jobsite.
For proper assembly, the following should be verified between uses: cleanliness of the
board and support areas.
