Pecafil® applications
U-section ground beams
A fast and efficient way to produce a clean lined excavation in either normal or contaminated land, ready to accept the pre-fabricated reinforcement cage. There is no need for extra equipment, Pecafil® arrives on site, ready for installation.
Using U-section Pecafil® beam units with an additional depth construction tolerance reduces overdig. Minimum working space requirement reduces spoil off site and allows excavated meterial, where acceptable, to be used as backfill. This makes Pecafil® the fastest, most cost-effective, in-ground construction formwork solution for piled foundations.
Pecafil® U-section beam units can be used, in conjunction with system accessories, to construct beams on ground.
L-shaped and side-strip formwork
L-shaped Pecafil® units are ideal for wide, shallow beams or rectangular bases. Side strip units can also be used to form deeper beams, pile caps or bases by simple hand folding of units on-site. Due to its smooth surface, Pecafil® can be removed and used up to four times.
Pile caps and r.c. bases
Custom-made to fit virtually any shape or size, Pecafil® is ideal for the exterior formwork of pile caps and bases. We deliver factory formed cut and bent Pecafil® units to your specifications - ideal for rapid installation.
Pecafil's adaptability and ease of handling without lifting equipment makes it very easy to transport and install. The formwork is so light it can easily be moved into position by hand.
Pecafil® can be easily assembled using the overlap to adjust the length. Our girders and spacers even allow you to concrete before backfilling.
N.B. We recommend the use of Pecafil® side spacers, fibre concrete bar or rail type bar with Pecafil® formwork. It is advisable to use protection caps where reinforcement projects from piles.
