Developed in the mid nineties by Construction professionals, Beamform is manufactured from high density expanded polystyrene which ensures robustness for back filling purposes. In excess of one million units have been successfully installed to date.

This simple, one component system, is an ideal solution for numerous formwork applications and utilises unskilled labour with no specialist plant requirements.

Beamform is ideally suited for use with ROMTECH prefabricated cages and offers significant time savings on construction program cycles, with minimum waste, when compared to traditional methods and other sacrificial systems.

Available Ex-stock, delivered to site palletised, Beamform is supplied in heights ranging from 350mm to 750mm in 50mm increments and may be stacked where depths of pilecaps or beams exceed the maximum unit height.

Beamform by nature is light but strong, allowing easy positioning by one unskilled person, who will be able to install in excess of 250m per day, safely and quickly. The correct installation is helped by the tongue/grooved ends for the self location of adjacent units; this complying with Best Practice Guidelines relating to formwork.

“Formwork must have a continuous line and shape before, during and after the concrete pour”

The inherent strength of Beamform allows the excavated material from site to be reinstated as backfill, rather than importing material at an additional cost.

Since Beamform is installed after the reinforcement, specified cover is achieved by the use of “Grippa Plate” Spacers which clip on to the links. Once backfilled safe, unimpeded access for all other trades working on site results. The speed of installation ensures that open trenches, subject to adverse weather conditions become a thing of the past.

Although initially being designed for use below ground on sites with ring beams and pile caps, the versatility of Beamform has meant that users have enjoyed the same benefits above ground, on toe beam rafts, pad foundations, stepped footings, radius beams, unreinforced foundations (to save otherwise wasted concrete) and reinforced concrete slabs.

A simple formwork solution for concrete ground beams & pile caps.
