2010-07-27 | Custom formwork „Made in Germany"
In the construction of highly sophisticated shapes and surfaces with cast-in-situ concrete, even flexible system formwork eventually arrives at the geometric limits to its use. This is where custom formwork carpenters take over, fabricating tailor-made wooden forms with time-honored carpentry skills. This traditional craft is now on the ascendant as a result of the trend toward building elements with increasingly elaborate geometries.

2010-06-17 | Creative shuttering strategy for parking garage slab
By adopting a custom solution using systems components, Harsco Infrastructure has enormously speeded up the construction of an underground parking garage in Koblenz, Germany. A movable joist form with folding side forms made of the crane-independent Rasto/Takko system rationalized the pouring of roughly 2,400 m of joists. It was combined with the beam-free Topec slab formwork system, two large panels of which fitted precisely between the in each case 100 m long and 1 m high joists. The outcome was a slab shuttering rate that even surprised the contractor consortium.

The impressive fabric of the four-storey building has been completed. The new synagogue for the Jewish community in Mainz celebrated its topping-out at the end of last year after only seven months for construction. Contractor Karl Gemünden GmbH & Co. KG from Ingelheim, working closely with formwork supplier Harsco Infrastructure (formerly Hünnebeck), completed the building fabric with its stunning geometry on time.

2010-02-08 | Complex formwork solutions for high fair-face concrete quality
There’s fair-face concrete wherever you look on the multifunctional extension of the production facility of the B. Braun Melsungen AG medical technology and pharmaceutical company at its parent site in Melsungen, north Hesse. For this project, the contractor Ed. Züblin AG, Stuttgart Region, is having to create top-quality concrete surfaces with a defined joint layout. The required custom forms are being designed wall for wall by Harsco Infrastructure (formerly Hünnebeck) Project Development in Ratingen, approved by architects and then fabricated precisely to specification.

2009-10-28 | Novel steel frame table form boosts efficiency
It cuts labor costs by about a quarter, makes do with half as much crane time and is capable of slashing transport and logistical costs by up to 70 percent. These are the selling points of Topmax, the world’s first steel-frame table form, manufactured by Hünnebeck. But have the first practical assignments lived up to these claims? In three entirely different projects in Hamburg, Berlin and Dresden, the innovative product has been put through its paces in daily use. The verdict: Surfaces can be shuttered quickly with Topmax table forms, and completely without nails.
