Steel Ply Concrete Wall Forms

Steel Ply Concrete Wall Forms

• 1000 psf allowable pressure
• Every panel and filler is made in the USA
• 1/2 HDO plywood gives a great concrete appearance
• No special tools required - just a carpenter's hammer
• The same form can be handset or gangformed
• Only one type of connecting hardware is required - Wedge Bolts
• Has been the most popular concrete forming system in the USA for over 50 years
• Reface the forms with our special replacement 1/2 HDO or Birch plywood

The Steel-Ply Forming System is a pre-engineered, factory-built, reusable concrete forming system. It may be used in handset or gang form applications, for commercial or residential structures. The Steel-Ply forming system can form walls of almost any shape or size, with accessories for special structures and details. This system is more productive and economical than job-built plywood formwork or other forming methods.

Panels and Fillers
The complete Steel-Ply system consists of 80 standard panel and filler sizes. Panel and filler heights range from 3" to 8", in 1" increments. Panel widths are 24" and filler widths range from 4" to 22", in 2" increments. A 5" wide filler and steel 1", 1/2", and 2" fillers are also available. Wedge Bolts connect panels, fillers and ties in one simple operation.

System Design:
Steel-Ply panels and fillers are constructed from a rugged steel frame. The side rail of the form is rolled exclusively for Symons and has a minimum yield stress of 55,000 psi. Crossmembers have a minimum yield stress of 60,000 psi and are located at one foot centers on all panels and fillers. Symons special 1/2 100/30 High Density Overlay (HDO) plywood provides a smooth finish. Each piece is edge sealed to repel moisture and prevent delamination. With proper care, contractors can expect up to 200 reuses before plywood replacement. Steel-Ply requires little training because it has no top or bottom, left or right, and can be used vertically or horizontally. Dado slots at cross - members simplify tie placement. Slots for hardware attachment are located between crossmembers. All Steel-Ply components combine to provide a 1000 psf rated system with a predictable safety factor over the service life of the form. The complete Steel-Ply system consists of over -100 standard panel and filler sizes. Panel and filler heights range from 3' to 10', in 1' increments. Panel widths are 24 and filler widths range from 4 to 22, in 2 increments. A 5 wide filler and steel 1, 1/2, and 2 fillers are also available. Wedge Bolts connect panels, fillers and ties in one simple operation. Steel-Ply is also available in metric sizes. Panel and filler heights range from 60 cm to 300 cm in 30 cm increments. Panel widths are 60 cm and filler widths range from 10 cm to 55 cm in 5 cm increments.
