An efficient, economical & versatile way of concrete forming in UK<\/h2>\n

Why keep wasting manpower and materials doing your forming the old way? Keep some money in your pocket by using our Camlock System!<\/span><\/p>\n

Efficient<\/h2>\n

The Gates Camlock System<\/a> is an internally supported system of forming concrete. This removes the need for heavy external bracing, bolting and anchoring of the forms. By utilizing standard sheets of plywood and 4 X 2 it is light weight and reduces labour requirements. It takes just a few minutes to load a sheet with ties and clamps and set it in place ready for pouring.<\/p>\n

Economical<\/h2>\n

There are virtually no nail or screws used in the system, this means it comes apart easily and the separate components can be reused countless times. This reduces the cost per use immensely and reduces the waste which impacts the environment. Since the system utilizes standard 18mm plywood and 4X2\u2019s it is light weight, easy to handle and very versatile.<\/p>\n

By removing the need of cranes or telehandlers for manhandling the individual panels and lowering labour requirements, your overall labour costs go down. With the speed at which the system goes together and strips down your reducing your labour costs even further.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Versatility<\/h2>\n

The Gates Camlock system<\/a> is designed for more than just your standard wall<\/strong>. Do you have a column on your site that needs to be formed? We can do a 100mm form as easily as a 10 meter wide form. While our system works great with a short wall, it can also be stacked<\/strong> as easily as it is to run it horizontally<\/strong>. With a maximum recommended height of 7.2 meters for a single pour this system can accommodate all your needs.<\/p>\n

Another advantage is we can set our forms without having a concrete base down. Since our system does not require heavy external bracing<\/strong> we do not need big brackets anchored down to concrete either.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”624″ img_size=”150×150″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border” onclick=”link_image”][vc_single_image image=”475″ img_size=”150×150″ alignment=”right” style=”vc_box_border” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1614192739779{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_btn title=”Call us for details!” color=”blue” link=”url:%2Fcontact-us%2F|title:Contact%20Us||”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Single Sided Forming<\/h3>\n

We have all had one of \u201cthose\u201d jobs that you can only access one side of the form. They take a lot of work and a lot of material. Using specialty ties we can easily take care of those jobs. Even with these types of jobs the need for heavy external bracing is eliminated by using our Camlock System.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”478″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”right” style=”vc_box_border” onclick=”link_image” title=”Before”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”477″ img_size=”medium” style=”vc_box_border” onclick=”link_image” title=”After”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The Camlock bracket is the main outside re-usable component of the system. Made from cast steel, it is easily usable for the next 30 years.<\/p>\n

The Camlock connects to the Snaptie on the outside of the form ply. It holds the 2 X 4 waler in place.<\/p>\n

With the way the Camlock holds 2 X 4s in place there are no nails required.<\/p>\n
