N E T STEEL PLY® 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. COLUMN HINGE QUICK COLUMN HARDWARE Steel-Ply ® 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.
