used as primary support for small to
medium wall and base pours or as
general support beams and columns.
It is commonly favoured as end support
for wall pours. See page 13 for typical
stop end details.
An added feature of the mini MkII
Soldier is the nailing holes in the top
flange, giving the opportunity to fix
timber or plywood directly. The opposite
flange has a raised lip allowing for
DU-AL aluminium beams to be
clamped securely.

Harsco Infrastructure offers three types

of DU-AL aluminium beams, each
with varying properties that cover a
range of applications.
The single-web S150 and twin-web
T150 beams are supplied with timber
inserts to allow for plywood to be fixed.
The S150 is available for general use to
suit all budgets and the stronger T150 is
ideal for when a combination of high
loading and larger support centres are
required.

The use of aluminium over timber has

great advantages. Aluminium is lighter
and stronger than timber and therefore
allows for larger assemblies of
formwork, which in turn reduces the
labour cost of fixing and erecting.

MkII Soldiers and DU-AL aluminium

beams combine to provide tailored
solutions to wall formwork
requirements. Formwork shutters can
be assembled to suit the majority of
wall shapes and sizes through the
range of DU-AL beam and MkII
Soldier lengths. Various concrete
pressures can be supported to cater for
pour rate requirements as each shutter
is individually designed making the
system ideal for specific solutions.
Assembly
The DU-AL S150 or T150 aluminium

beams are fixed to MkII Soldiers at the
required centres with the relevant
clamps. MkII Soldiers can be bolted
end to end to provide taller shutter
heights and a lifting bracket bolted to
the top allows for shutters to be crane
lifted. A large number of re-uses are
possible with each shutter that require
minimal disassembly between usage.
Access
Hop-up brackets can be attached to

MkII Soldiers offering a safe and
practical solution to give access for
pouring. Scaffold boards (three no.
wide) or DU-AL beams and plywood
can be fixed to the brackets providing a
suitable deck. Standard scaffold tube
and fittings can be fixed to the brackets
providing adequate edge protection.
Traditional wall formwork can also be

used in conjunction with Harsco

LOGIK 60 is a panel formwork system

employed for the construction of
concrete walls. The range of panel sizes
and components allow for a multitude
of arrangements making the system
ideal for a wide variety of situations
encountered. Difficult formwork areas
such as corner positions can be
constructed with straightforward
solutions by using standard
components.
LOGIK 60 panels are used in standard
applications to resist concrete
pressures of up to 60kN/m2 and feature
a special rolled steel profile around the
perimeter (140mm in depth) that
encloses the high quality 18mm thick,
13ply Finnish Birch plywood.
Intermediate stiffeners provide support
to the plywood at 300mm centres and
the edge is sealed with polyurethane.
Tie holes are positioned to allow for
maximum efficiency by using a
minimum number of tie rods.
Assembly
Panels are clamped rigidly together

through the unique ALL clamp. Clamps
are positioned between panel edges
along the panel stiffeners and a simple
hammer-action provides three
important functions, namely to align,
lock and level panels. The clamp
engages with the special rolled edge
profile of the panel and is effective such
that part assemblies can be crane-lifted
flat off the ground without the need for
additional structural members and grout
loss is prevented during use. A large
number of re-uses are possible without
the need for complete disassembly.
Access
Walkway brackets can be attached to

LOGIK 60 panels offering a safe and
pouring. Scaffold boards (four no. wide)
or DU-AL beams and plywood can be
fixed to the brackets providing a
suitable deck. Standard scaffold tube
and fittings can be fixed to the brackets
providing adequate edge protection.
EXTRAGUARD may be used as an
alternative providing a greater standard
of edge protection.
A removable attachment bracket
ensures that walkway brackets can be
fixed even if panels are used
horizontally.
The LOGIK 60 system can be used in

conjunction with other Harsco
Infrastructure products including
climbing formwork and MkII Soldiers.

Each panel has four turnbuckles that are
easily adjusted with a supplied spanner
to preset the plywood face to the
required radius. A simple pre-made
timber template can be used to check
the accuracy of the radius. Panels are
fixed together using LOGIK 60
adjustable clamps and tie washer/nuts
provide support to tie rods. Concrete
chute supports can be fixed to the top
of panels to prevent spillage over the
turnbuckles.
LOGIK 360 is the first circular panel

formwork system that can claim to
produce a true curve without any flat
spots. The patented design
demonstrated Harsco Infrastructures
innovative approach to circular
formwork, with minimal components
and full compatibility with our LOGIK
60 panel system. The numerous
components and hundreds of bolts
associated with traditional methods of
circular formwork have now been
eliminated.
Standard panel widths of 1.25m
(external) and 1.24m (internal) allow for
circualr walls to be formed as small as
4m in radius. A range of panel heights
are available that are rated similar to
LOGIK 60 at 60kN/m2 pressure.
Access

access for pouring. Depending on the
radius of the wall, scaffold boards or
DU-AL beams and plywood can be
fixed to the brackets providing a
suitable deck. Tube guardrails or
EXTAGUARD can be fixed to the
intergrated guard post.
The system uses the same

components as LOGIK 60 making it
possible to pour straight and curved
walls together, avoiding the need for
construction joints between.

GASS
Slab formwork
Lighweight, yet strong aluminium

components
Heavy duty capacity up to 140kN

reduces equipment required
Quick and easy assembly with just

three main components
Unique locking ledger frames located

at any position along the leg
Used with DU-AL aluminium

beams and MkII Soldiers
Developed from extensive experience

gained from working on many of the
largest and most demanding
construction projects worldwide,
GASS has been specially designed as
a lightweight, high capacity system that
is easy to use, fast to erect and uses
only a small range of components.
With a number of international patents
to protect its innovative design, GASS
has proved popular on a wide variety of
projects globally including bridges,
tunnels, reservoirs, commercial
projects including airports, retail
developments and offices. The strength
and versatility offered from the system
allows for the wider range of
construction projects, yet it still offers
competitive economic advantages
regardless of the application.
40
Soffit support
The GASS system can be used to suit

a number of construction methods for
slab formwork and support. Strip and
re-erect utilises the high safe working
loads with large efficient grids and
minimal quantities and high floor to
soffit heights can be achieved.
Flying/rolling tables are suited for
repetitive multi-storey construction
allowing for quicker cycle times with
minimal dismantling required between
floors and sections. This application can
be used to reduce risks associated with
working at height and flying tables can
be safely lifted without the need for
loading platforms at the building edge.
Support to permanent formwork and
pre-cast units is straightforward.
Assembly
With just three main individual

components, outer leg, inner leg and
ledger frame, assembly is quick and
simple. A locking feature on the ledger
frames gives visible assurance that it is
secured. Access platforms can be used
on top of ledger frames to allow for firm
working areas for taller assemblies.
DU-AL aluminium beams and MkII
Soldiers provide a versatile range of
primary and secondary bearers for the
soffit support. The range of beam
lengths available with differing
properties to suit ensure an economic
solution for the majority of projects.

Systemised quick erection bracing
20% lighter than traditional
scaffolding
CUPLOK was the first ever

galvanised, multi-purpose scaffold
system in the UK. It is a well proven
heavy duty support system which is
relatively light and easy to assemble
and suitable for falsework support and
access for a range of building and civil
engineering projects.
Harsco Infrastructures experience of
using CUPLOK on projects all over the
world enables us to offer you absolute
confidence when using this system.
Hot-dipped galvanising is the finest
practical coating that can be applied to
a scaffold system, providing a long
working life and better handling to the
user as well as improved appearance
and durability.
46
Soffit support
The range of CUPLOK equipment

gives the system the capability to tackle
virtually any soffit support application
with the most cost-effective approach.
We can provide a large number of grid
variations to fit steel, aluminium or
timber joists.
CUPLOK can be used in conjunction
with DU-AL aluminium beams
DU-ALs high strength and low weight
result in increased productivity with a
selection of three types of beams in a
variety of lengths. In each case the
beams are supported in forkheads and
fastened by means of a quick fixing
clamp.
Assembly
The principal feature of CUPLOK is the

unique node point - locking up to four
horizontals in one single action without
the use of nuts, bolts or wedges.
The locking device is formed by a fixed
lower cup, which is welded to the
vertical at 0.5m intervals, and a sliding
upper cup. The forged blade ends of the
horizontals are located in the lower cup.
The upper cup is moved down and
rotated by hammer blows to give a
positive and rigid connection.

Secondary/primary beams and clamps not required
Quick and simple assembly with minimal main
components - panel, prop and bearing
T ransverse beam
TOPEC is a simple, cost effective slab formwork system

designed to deliver high output rates in conventional building
applications. The system was developed over
20 years ago and soffit support assembly is used widely
across the world.
Verified by independent testing bodies, TOPEC has been
proven to be simpler and quicker to erect and strike than any
other slab support system on the market.

Adjustment beam
1800mm x 900mm adjustment panel
1800mm x 1800mm panel

corner panel
With just basic training and familiarisation needed, the

system offers significant cost advantages over conventional
table forms, not only due to reduced erection times, with
easy to handle, lightweight aluminium framed panels, but
also because dependency on crane lifting is kept to a
minimum.
Edge support
Soffit support
Slab thicknesses of up to 400mm can be supported with use

of the large 1.8m2 panel. The 1.8m x 0.9m panel and smaller
panels are able to support thicker slabs from 500 - 750mm.
EUROPLUS tubular steel props or GASS aluminium legs
provide support to the panels. EUROPLUS props generally
give the more economic solution and feature a quick release
mechanism. GASS offers added strength and flexibility.
Assembly
A small team of just three to four workers is generally

sufficient for fast and safe erection of TOPEC.
The system is designed to be erected from the supporting
level for propping heights up to 3.5m. Panels are simply
hooked on to the supports and raised with the erection rod
which enables additional supports to be installed and
subsequently more panels to be raised.
At heights over 3.5m, an automated TOPEC lift machine can
be used to assist in the placement and removal of panels.
Alternatively, the method of erection at heights over 3.5m
can be easily carried out with the use of a small mobile
scaffold or a mobile elevated work platform (MEWP).

Climbing formwork
Complete solution to climbing of

Compatible with all types of
formwork systems including LOGIK

formwork
Larger unit sizes up to 7.2m wide
External platforms over 2m in depth
Mesh guard edge protection
The MULTIFORM climbing system

provides a robust solution for the
construction of high rise building
projects yet meets the safety and
economic demands of a highly
competitive industry.
Units are crane-lifted in line with the
construction of walls that are cast with
anchors/formed pockets to which units
are supported off.
The system can be used in conjunction
with the LOGIK panel formwork
systems to facilitate the construction of
high rise lift cores, stair walls and
perimeter walls. Traditional formwork
(MkII Soldiers and DU-AL beams) and
other proprietary panel systems can
also be used with the MULTIFORM
climbing system.
DU-AL aluminium beams offer
platform sizes up to a practical
maximum of 7.2m wide. A range of
beam lengths are available to suit the
structure and unit size required. Timber
beams may also be used up to a
maximum size of 225mm high.
EXTRAGUARD, standard tube
guardrails and mesh guard can be
supplied for the MULTIFORM climbing
system, offering edge protection that is
flexible towards site requirements.
Mesh guard has been developed
specifically for the climbing systems
providing secure protection up to 3.8m
high.
58
External support
A choice of the guided climbing system

or the more traditional jump-form
system can be used for external
support of formwork. Jump-form units
are supported off external shoes. These
are fixed to cast-in tie anchors and
climbing cones. Climbing cones can be
recovered and re-used as construction
progresses, whilst tie anchors remain
cast in the structure.
Guided climbing distinguishes itself
from jump-form through the use of
guide tracks that are secured to the
structure via twin cast-in tie anchors
and climbing cones. These enable the
climbing units to maintain contact with
the structure during all times of use
thus allowing for simpler and safer
lifting operations. Repositioning of units
is quicker and more accurate.
Internal support
Internal platforms can be used to

support formwork to aid construction of
lift cores and stair walls. The internal
platform is made up of a primary
support beams that supports DU-AL
aluminium beams and a plywood
decking.
The primary support beams have
pivoting feet that sit securely within
pre-formed wall pockets. When the
internal platform is lifted to the next
level, the feet are allowed to rotate out
however return to the supporting
position under their own self-weight on
reaching the next pre-formed wall
pockets.
Wall pockets are cast using steel pocket
formers that are fixed to the formwork.
These are retrieved after each pour and
re-used for subsequent levels.
Alternatively, end beam connectors that
sit on internal shoes can be used rather
then using pivoting feet and pre-formed
pockets. The internal shoes have a
pivoting support plate and are fixed to
cast-in tie anchors and climbing cones.

Formwork can be fixed to travelling

carts that sit on the climbing brackets.
The travelling carts allow for the
formwork to be moved back and forth
from the face of the structure to give
room for cleaning/preparing formwork,
making good holes and fixing of
reinforcement bars. The travelling cart
features a stabiliser that enables
plumbing and alignment of
formwork/panel systems and also
striking of panels. As formwork/panel
systems are fixed to the travel cart,
savings in craning time can be
achieved. The jack adjuster wrench and
rack and pinion ratchet are used with
the travelling cart.

MULTIFORM parapet brackets are

Harsco Infrastructures market leading
bridge parapet formwork system. The
bracket has been specifically designed
to provide a quick and safe cantilever to
facilitate the construction of concrete
edge projections and parapets. Used on
bridges of either steel girder or precast
concrete beam composition, the
system utilises less equipment than
traditional underslung arrangements.
Adjustable positioning jacks remove the
need for timber packs and the system
consists of just one standard bracket
size made up from MULTIFORM
beams. This enables bolt on extensions
to be fixed for longer concrete edge
projections.
Assembly
MULTIFORM parapet brackets are

supplied fully assembled and allow for
units to be built up quickly. Brackets are
easily laced together with standard
scaffold tube through the fixed half
coupler brackets. DU-AL S150 or T150
aluminium beams provide a flexible
range of unit sizes to suit applied
loading and are supplied with timer
inserts to allow for fixing of plywood.
Lifting
Depending on the adopted method of

assembly, C-hooks can be used for
lifting single parapet units into position
to allow for units to be fixed.
Three types of C-hooks are available
including a long reach version for use
with extended units. C-hooks are
recommended for the removal of
parapet units and are supplied certified
in accordance with the Lifting
Operations and Lifting Equipment
Regulations (LOLER).
Web support
Web supports can be used to provide

an economical method of supporting
in-situ bridge decks through pre-loaded
consumable polyester beam hangers.

MkII Soldiers
Bridge construction (parapet formwork)
Versatile underslung or overslung parapet

support frames.
Underslung suspended falsework

Steel composite bridges
Pre-cast concrete bridges
Overslung static/travelling frame
Standard MkII Soldiers and ancillaries

can be used for the construction of
concrete parapets and bridge decks.
The soldiers can be underslung beneath
the bridge to enable the concreting of
bridge decks and parapets to both steel
composite and pre-cast concrete bridge
construction.
The strong, versatile MkII Soldiers
make an ideal solution for suspending
bridge falsework over roads, railway
lines and waterways.
The underslung solution can be used
for the construction of the full width of
a bridge deck in a single pour.
The MkII Soldier has also been used on
numerous projects as an overslung
frame. This solution gives an
economical frame for repairing bridge
parapets or casting newly formed
parapets after the central deck section
has been poured.
The versatile MkII Soldier overslung
frame can be a project-specific design,
using standard soldier components, to
make a strong, stable frame for the
construction of any size of parapet.
Refer to wall formwork - pages 15 - 37

and faade retention - pages 92 - 95 for
details of MkII Soldier components.

CUPLOK
Bridge construction
Fast connections and 74kN with the

original system scaffold.
74kN leg load

Unique node point: four connections
in one
Systemised quick-erection bracing
20% lighter than traditional
scaffolding
The design of CUPLOK is ideal for

bridge support work since its strength
and versatility can produce great
savings in erection and supervision
times on site. The fastening of four
components at once, on one level,
makes CUPLOK a highly economical
support medium.
Systemised bracing and the rocking
(sloping) components cater for falls in
both directions. Harsco Infrastructure
have a wide variety of ledger sizes
(from 0.6m to 2.5m) to produce the
most economical grid layout for any

GASS
Bridge construction
140kN high productivity, lightweight aluminium

shoring with integral brace frames.
140kN leg load

High productivity
Integrally braced ledger frames
Adaptable eight-way connection
GASS is a high productivity aluminium

shoring system suitable for supporting
bridge deck pours. Its high leg load
capacity of 14 T maximum SWL makes
it ideal for large, heavily loaded
concrete decks.
GASS is made up from a unique outer
leg with eight different locations for
connecting the bracing frames.
The strong inner leg, with a massive
1300mm of adjustment, gives the
system superior flexibility in
overcoming different ground terrains
and obstacles.
The ledger frames are locked into the
outer legs by a fast and simple-to-use
wedge action. The stiff ledger frames
eliminate the need for any further
bracing members, making GASS one
of the fastest shoring systems to
assemble.
DIN approved
GASS has been officially checked and

approved for load rating by the
Government Structures Office in
Germany to code DIN 4421, which
closely resembles the British
(European) Standard BS EN 12812:
2004.
Full second order theory datasheet
rules apply, giving simple compliance to
BS EN 12812: 2004 class B1 structures
without a 15% load penalty.

The MkII Soldier, when used as a

compression member, has different
loading characteristics about its two
main axes of inertia due to its
asymmetric shape. The arrangement of
the shore when erected may also
dictate the method of bracing to obtain
the required capacity.
Special details have been developed for
use in faade-retention applications for
connecting the frame to the faade.
Heavy leg loads of up to 500kN can be
supported by the multiway connector

from ladders as the means of
temporary access on construction
sites. The site staircase offers a simple,
safe and practical solution.
Features and benefits
They are quickly and easily installed on

site, straight from the transport, and
are ready for use in minutes.
They can be set up between 25 and
50 on table forms, in service ducts,
around the perimeter, or elsewhere,
frequently protecting the buildings
stairs from the wear and tear of the
construction process. They fully comply
with EN 12811 (as Temporary Work
Equipment for access between levels
on scaffolding).
Double handrail on both sides, which

automatically adjusts to the correct
height.
Whatever the angle of the stairway,

the treads will remain horizontal.
An automatic locking mechanism is

designed to engage once the
stairway is at the correct angle.
A manual locking device is available in

addition to the automatic locking
mechanism. The manual lock is
mounted in the pre-drilled holes on
the opposite side to the automatic
lock. This can be used during longterm or permanent stairway
installation, or where the ground is
loose or uneven.

cabins.
The slab attachment is mounted on the

stairway splice bracket to secure the
stairway at the top. It is bolted to the
concrete using an anchor or through
the deck material.
Scaffolding attachment
The scaffolding attachment is designed

to hook over standard scaffold tube,
and to integrate with some system
scaffolds. It can have a lock fitted, and
should be used with scaffolding fittings
to prevent sliding sideways.

length before being sent to site,
alternatively they can be site
assembled.
The stairways can be folded flat for

ease of transport.
Stairways can be quickly and easily

erected on site by two operatives.
The handrails are simply secured in

a Combibeam for stiffness. Pre-fitting
this before transport speeds up
erection on site.
The top is fixed to the upper level with
one of a range of attachment devices to
prevent movement in use, and the
bottom of the stringers have points to
prevent slipping.
All the stairway units are cross-braced
between stringers for increased

Marketing/advertising opportunities
through use of external face
The SAFESCREEN perimeter climbing

system is designed to assist in the
construction of high-rise concrete
frames by safeguarding site personnel
against adverse weather conditions and
falls from height. It is a bespoke system
that is used in line with the construction
of concrete slabs however is
independant of formwork and falsework
equipment. Edge protection can be
provided for up to five levels at the
same time.
SAFESCREEN units offer a minimum
two levels of integrated platforms that
enable access beyond the slab edge
allowing for a range of tasks to be
carried out safely. Units are assembled
with lightweight components and can
be up to a maximum of 4.6m wide by
12m high. The external cladding panels
can be selected from profiled sheeting
(solid, perforated, translucent), mesh or
plywood to suit requirements and offers
developers one of the largest outdoor
media and marketing opportunities.
110
Assembly
SAFESCREEN units can be preassembled and delivered where there

are working area restrictions on site.
Transport costs are reduced as the
design of the platform bracket allows
for units to be folded which reduces the
stacking depth. Wide units (i.e. over
2.9m) can be assembled with detached
ends such that notice to the Highways
Agency or Police is not required (The
Road Vehicles (Construction and Use)
Regulations 1986). The ends are simply
attached to the preassembled units
upon arrival on site.
Support
Support shoes are fixed to cast-in tie

anchor and anchor cones and bear the
total weight and external loading of
SAFESCREEN units. Units are
restrained against the structure with
support shoes at all times during use
presenting simpler and safer crane and
hydraulic lifting operations. Support
shoes can be re-used on subsequent
upper floors. Typically, just two levels of
support shoes plus a nominal extra
amount for the lifting sequence need to
be supplied. A wind brace is fitted to
the lower level support shoes which
removes movement in the units.
Climbing
SAFESCREEN units are moved from

one level to the next in line with the
construction of concrete slabs by either
guided crane climbing (the internal
channel of each unit is secure within
the side clamps of at least two levels of
support shoes at all times during lifting),
or remote hydraulic self climbing
(600mm pitch rams are positioned on
each main support shoe of the unit and
coupled to a 110V, 32amp hydraulic
power pack via fast fix hose
connections). This provides a quick
cycle time of 4.5mins based on a 3.3m
lift height.
