COLUMN FORMING
Columns are common features in concrete construction projects and there are several ways that they can be formed
with modular systems. When helping contractors choose the best system for a particular application, it is important to
maximize equipment utilization based on form reuse. It is also necessary to consider the column dimensions, rate of
pour and the required concrete finish to select the most appropriate equipment.
Standard Steel-Ply
®
Without Ties
Any size column up to 24" wide can be formed
without ties by using standard Steel-Ply panels
or fillers. Columns can be handset with standard
outside corners. Handsetting forms is productive
for projects with just a few columns or columns
with varying dimensions.
Columns can be also gangformed with a
Column Hinge and a release corner for greater
productivity. Quick Column Hardware is used in
combination with the Column Hinge to provide
a quick closure and release. This method of
column forming with Steel-Ply virtually eliminates
lost hardware and also provides maximum
forming productivity, though you need a crane
to move the equipment.

Ganged Column Hardware
Column Hinges are used to hinge forms during
setting and stripping. Quick Column Hardware,
used opposite the Column Hinges, allowed
the forms to be opened with hardware still in
place. Used together, this column hardware
speeds column productivity and increases labor
productivity.
