Connectrix

Construction Innovated
Jump Form System
 Ahead of Critical Path

Capability
Connectrix TURIIM ia not just a piece of equipment. We offer a superior design and method to
form building cores faster than any other system available today. Through effective design we
save clients millions over time by offering a method that consistently reduces program times and
ensures projects stay ahead of critical path.
Our shutters are made from 6061-T6 aluminum and don’t require any additional fixing. Steel
components are high quality 275 grade UB/UC sections. Jacking components are manufactured
in the United Kingdom and are CE certified rated to last 1000’s of operations with minimal
maintenance. Our electrical boards are assembled utilizing high quality and reliable Schneider
components. We recommend Swenn bolts from the USA and VSL tie rods.
Electronic screw jack jumpform has been tried and tested for the last 30 years since its
introduction to the market by Norm Flodine from Cantilver. The technology provides far better
results than hydraulic systems due to its accuracy and consistency when jumping. It’s also much
faster, requires less time to level between jumps and suffers no blowouts or leakages and comes
fully integrated into the system requiring no further additional repositioning of any kind.

 Safety

Our engineers have firsthand experience working on Jumpform and our system has
been designed with safety as a top priority. Jumpform presents several challenges that
affect the overall safety of any project, these include working at height, working in
confined spaces, and in some cases working with complex sequences involving
cranes.

TURIIM offers the highest degree of safety of any system by

addressing these key aspects of working at height:

➢ Exposure to open edges

➢ Falling objects
➢ Overcrowding
➢ Restricted mobility
➢ Unnecessary crane use
➢ Excessive system manipulation at height
➢ Complicated jumping sequences
➢ Complicated wall changes

What makes TURIIM a safer solution for your workforce:

➢ Fully barricaded workspace
➢ No open edges
➢ M inimal required workforce at peak efficiency
➢ Large working deck that can be tailored to contractors.
➢ After setup the crane isn’t required until wall changes
➢ System jumps as one in a single operation 100% synchronized
➢ No complicated jumping sequences
➢ Wall changes have been simplified through design and take place within a typical

 The Design

The Jump Form structure is a self-climbing temporary formwork system used for the construction of the
main core walls of the permanent structure. It is progressively elevated upwards during construction by
way of mechanical lifting jacks. During the lifting process, the support conditions of the Jump Form
structure change, resulting in a change in the distribution of the forces throughout the structure.
Accordingly, the analysis of the Jump Form was subdivided into two different models, corresponding to two
different support conditions: the static (fixed) case and the lifting (jumping) case. Further down, the static
and lifting cases are discussed in more detail.

The main structural parts of the Jump Form consist of the following:

a. Lower working deck – structural steel framed deck with 3mm thick chequered plate flooring used for
workers tying rebar, setting forms and installing form ties. When the Jump Form is in its static mode,
the primary beams of the lower deck support the entire Jump Form structure, these are bolted to the
core walls via customized wall brackets.

b. Upper working deck – structural steel framed deck with 3mm thick chequered plate flooring used for
storing rebar and for pouring concrete. The upper deck also supports the perimeter cladding structure,
the walls shutters, the internal stairs and concrete boom frame.

c. Internal braced framing – structural steel columns and bracing members between the upper and
lower deck. The internal framing links the top and bottom decks. It also transfers lateral loads from the
top to the bottom deck in both the static and the lifting case.

d. Cladding columns – structural steel columns forming the perimeter walls of the Jump Form structure.
These columns hang from the top deck and support the perimeter sections of the lower deck.

e. Jacking columns – structural steel columns providing the main structural support during the lifting
operation. Each pair of jacking column is connected to a mechanical jack via a vertical threaded rod,
they form the lifting mechanism of the Jump Form. During the lifting process, the jacking columns are
partially embedded and bear onto the top of the core walls.

f. Concrete placing boom (CPB) frame – structural steel framing proving support for the concrete boom
crane. The boom frame is bolted to the top deck structure.
 The Design

Static (Fixed) Case

In the static case the bottom deck beams support the entire Jump Form structure via bolt fixings through the sides of the concrete core walls. The top deck is
supported by the internal framing columns which transfer the loads down to the lower deck beams. The perimeter cladding columns and the shutters also hang from
the top deck. During this setup, the jacking columns are not taking any load. After the wall reinforcement has been installed the wet concrete is placed into the
shutters. During the concrete placement, the bottom of the jacking columns are partially embedded into the top of the walls.

Figure below shows a simplified Jump Form diagram for the static case.
 The Design

Lifting (Jumping) Case

The lifting process can commence once the concrete has set and achieved the minimum required strength. The bottom deck fixings are released, and the weight of
the structure is transferred to the jacking columns which are bearing on the top of the walls. In this setup, the whole structure is hanging from the top deck primary
members, which are supported by the jacking columns. The internal framing is working in tension. As the structure climbs via the lifting jacks, the bottom deck roller
guides act as lateral support and the internal support and the internal braced framing transfers only lateral forces through the bracing into the bottom deck.

Figure below shows a simplified Jump Form diagram for the lifting case.

➢ Weight of Forms approx. 27 kg per m2 (without ply)

Form heights can vary and customized to suit as per the pour heights required.

Self-Climbing Support Frame

The steel is 275 grade.

The jumpform system is specially designed in accordance to the site

requirements, there are 2 working decks an upper and lower.

Access from Upper to Lower decks are from specially designed stair access towers or
ladders.

The Upper is designed to take steel reinforcement and placing of concrete and the
lower is for fixing of the reinforcement, access to walls and undertaking removal and
installation of support bolts for the jumping sequence. Materials can also be stored in
both these areas (as per design criteria).

Inner Cells are used to install and remove the support bolts for the jumping sequence.
Inner cells are accessed by ladders to install tie rods and align the forms and install
other formwork items.

Decking is covered by 25mm minimum plywood and fixed to the decking beams.
The System

Lifting Actuation
The Jump Forms main component is the Jacking System which includes:

➢ Metric Machine Screw

➢ Metric Machine Screw Jack (Capacity 20 Ton)
➢ 2.2 KW,3PH 50HZ Electric Motor
➢ Panel Board

The System is operated by a Panel Board which is the central nervous system of the
Jump Form, This Panel Board keeps all the motors synchronized and monitors the
loads of each of the jacks, if any abnormal loads of faults occur while jumping the
panel board will shut down and alert the operator of the fault.

Power Supply Requirement:

• Jacks: 3 phase 380-415 V,
• Start up power 3.5 kVa / 5.5 A per motor
• Operational Power 2.5 kVa per motor.
The Power Cable from The Site distribution Board to the Jump Form Panel
Board needs to be 70-95 Sqmm,4 Core Cable.
The System

Concrete Placing Boom Frame

The Jump Form is designed to support a concrete placing boom in which a specially
designed frame on the top of the Jump Form is supported on the upper frame and
braced to the lower frame with additional supports. The placing boom cannot be
used or moved when the jump form is in jumping mode or sitting on the jack legs. The
Jump Form must be sitting on the support pins and jack legs retracted before use of the
placing boom.

A minimum 12MPa concrete strength is required to proceed to Jump

A Maximum 38KM/H wind speed is maximum allowed to safely jump the

system.
The System

Stair Access

Access to the Jump Form is by access stairs inside a designated lift shaft
and/or outside onto the working deck as per the site requirements.
