How do we do it?
1. The formwork is assembled,
depending on the type of slab we
use either Alumecano with board
or phenolic shuttering surfaces.
2. This stage is for placing the
steelwork, the caissons and
concreting the slab.
3. After 3 days, we remove some
formwork material leaving only
20% shoring the slab.Now we
are goint to use the rest of the
formwork, 80%, to assembly it
on the upper slab.

Vistaform
Traditional formwork system for exposed slabs composed of structu-
ral wood beams, supported by support elements such as the Alisan
Post-shore or the Alsina shoring system. Both shoring systems are
height adjustable. The Vistaform Slab System allows the distribution
of the beams and the shoring in accordance with the weight of the
slab to form. It also facilitates the meeting with walls and hanging
joists with the ability to overlap the wood beams with each other.

The HT Beam, made of solid wood, in addition to its
high resistance and durability, also has the following
characteristics: Stable levels and forms, high quality
gluing and reduced weight (5 Kg/m).
The Vistaform Slab system can use different forming
surfaces, depending on the concrete finish requirements.
For an architectural finish, use phenolic resin-coated
plywood boards, that provides excellent quality, with the
minimum amount of joints and large surfaces without
marking the concrete.

Hanging Beam
with Mecanoflex and Joist Brace
Formwork system designed to implement hanging beams on site.
The Alsina Mecanoflex Hanging Beam solution is formed by just two
elements, which have been designed to ensure a safe and quick
assembly. The use of this solution greatly increases productivity of
works, making it possible to save in terms of labor and material costs.

Any conventional post-shore adapts

to the system. The beam solutions is
simple and safe. The phenolic resin
part is nailed to the support girder
inlaid with wood.

Simple system that can be assembled

and dismantled quickly, made up
of two basic elements (Joist and
support girder). Most of the elements
are recovered 3 days after concreting
and they can be resued. Only one
post-shore remains for each area
where recovery is envisaged.

The Hanging Beam system can solve

the beam depths, making it easier
to make side shutters and finishing
elements. To do the sides the same
joists are used with the joist brace.

Friendly Beam - VCM

Revolutionary concept Considerable savings Vertical adjustment

Alsina has extensive experience in
panel formwork, especially in vertical
wall systems and columns.
When designing beam formwork,
the panel vertical adjustment was
applied in a horizontal direction.
Traditional formwork beams use lots
of wood and operator man-hours.
This work cannot be used on other
beams and is quite costly. For this
reason Friendly Beam is reusable up
to 90%.
Alsina engineers have studied the
traditional procedure extensively.
This has led them to design a vertical
adjustment system which makes it
possible to easily recover material at
the work site.

This resulted in a modular system for The operator can perform beam Friendly Beam enables the
hanging beam formwork comprised formwork much faster by not having construction of all kinds of hanging

Friendly Beam formwork features

• The reusable Bottom Panel supports the post-shore along with the
Triangle Leveler.
• The Bottom Panel is manufactured in 3 widths (20-30-40 cm), allows 5
cm fillers and comes in 2 lengths (109-157 cm).
• The Side Form Panel is manufactured in 2 heights (20-48 cm) and 2 lengths
(109-157 cm) .It can be joined to solve a thicker beam edge (up to 90 cm).
• All the panels are made of reinforced steel frame and include a Clip
binding system with phenolic lining.
• The Binding Clip makes it possible to solve all joints with a simple
hammer blow.
• Lightweight system: Weight 22 kg/m2.
• Strong System: 25 kN/mm2.
• 12mm thickness birch plywood 220 gr/m2.

This system is a great improvement
over traditional formwork by the use
of a modular system with vertical

Interior climbing system

A system designed for safe performance of: interior climbing systems
in hollow pier formwork, elevator shaft formwork and all types of hollow
structures with multiple sections. The design principle of the Interior
Climbing System is simplicity: it is very easy to assemble, without the
need for tools and it can be moved quickly and easily.

The Toggle Support is used when an opening can be left

in the structural concrete element. The element called
a Reusable Box must be left embedded in the concrete
during the previous fill. After pouring, the formwork is
removed first and then the Reusable Box is removed.
Finally, the Interior Platform System is raised and the
Toggle Support is housed in the hole left by the Reusable
Box. When the Interior Climbing System is supported on
the hole in the concrete, it can not move from its position
because the Toggle Support is designed so it can only be
unlocked manually.

The Cast-in Anchor is used when a hole can not be

left in the structural concrete element because of high
steel framework density or technical requirements. Pass
through bars through the walls can not be used in the
Interior Platform System. Therefore, the Fixed Support
must be used, anchored to the wall by means of a
lost anchor. The Cast-in Anchor will be attached to the
formwork for the next pour with a metric bolt and reused
for the following pour by accessing the trailing platform of
the Interior Platform System. The Cast-in Anchor system
bears the weight of the Interior Platform System and can
only be moved upwards by lifting with a crane.
