Application & OptionsAirodek is a lightweight soffit formwork system which has been designed for easy assembly, transportation, storage and maintenance. It comes in 3 variants.

ApplicationSoffit formwork - suitable for a range of concrete slabs up to 700mm thick depending on the panels used.

Variant 1 Props and PanelsThe panels are supported by the crowns and props. The whole system is struck once the concrete has gained sufficient strength.

Variant 2 - Panels, Deck Beams, Dropheads and Shoring

A quick strip system, where the panels and deck beams are removed during the early stages of curing, whilst the dropheads and shoring remain undisturbed to support the concrete.

Variant 3 - Skeletal SystemThe deck beams sit in the drophead and the Airodek soffit beam spans between the deck beams supporting the plywood. The deck beams and soffit beams can be struck and removed, leaving the plywood supported by the dropheads and shoring.

Features & BenefitsInnovative Design

Airodek is based on a single principle - simplicity. Airodek has been designed for easy assembly, transportation, storage and maintenance.

LightweightA single operator can easily and safely handle all the equipment reducing labour times for erection and dismantling.

Erected from below the soffitPanels and beams can be erected from below the soffit reducing working at height issues, up to 4.2m in height.

Ply or Composite FaceAirodek has either a high quality ply face or a composite face, which lasts up to 20 times longer, provides a significantly better finish which is Class 2 and is much easier to clean and maintain. The composite panels also have flush countersunk rivets and neatley sealed sheet edges.

Quick Strike pinStandard props have a quick strike pin which releases the load with a single hammer blow.

Useful AccessoriesSpacing gates and legs provide stability and give props the correct spacing.

Unique CrownThe unique crown securely locates the corners of up to four panels simultaneously ensuring panels cannot easily be dislodged.

Safety UpstandsPlastic upstands on decking beams provide secure location points and prevent the unintentional dislodging of panels.

Features & BenefitsInnovative Components

DropheadThe quick strike system lowers the decking beams by 70mm to enable the panels to be removed and re-used whilst leaving the concrete propped.

LightweightAll components in the prop and panel system are under 25kg making them easy for man handling.

Easy handlingThe largest panel has twin grab handles to facilitate easy handling.

Composite form-faceComposite panels provide a Class 2 finish, they can also be used up to 20 more times than ply forms and they are much easier to clean and repair, saving significantly on replacement and maintenance costs.

2 sizes of Infill beamsNeatly removes the necessity for additional timber support to the plywood used at infill positions.

Base jackDrophead, perimeter U-head and crown are all designed to support the decking beams without differing adjustments to height of the jack at the base.

In DetailEasy To Use

Increased ProductivityFast: one man able to fix and strike provides record breaking on-site productivity.

Extensive AccessoriesThe Airodek infill bracket and support block is for use in conjunction with the Airodek crown, providing support for aluminium or timber beams in a close to wall situation where other supports, like props, would be difficult to use.

Quick StrikeA single hammer blow to the quick strike pin releases the load in the props by lowering the crown and the panel by 4mm which is sufficient to release the formwork panels.

Fewer ComponentsAirodek has fewer components than other soffit support systems. This reduces storage, handling, maintenance and transport costs.

LightweightLightweight aluminium panels and adjustable props means 30% less weight and 40% fewer parts than conventional steel props and timber, and 25% less weight than other systems using primary beams and panels.

Always StableSpecially designed heavy duty crown, spacing gates, legs and upstands provide safety and stability.


5

In DetailSafe & Secure

Maximum ReuseThe drophead panels are notched to fit the prop head plate, maximising re-use of panels and beams.

Slab Supported After StrikingRelease of the striking plate lowers panels and beams by 70mm, whilst the drophead maintains contact with the underside of the slab.

VersatileThe striking plate on Airodek dropheads is capable of being either set or released from either side of the prop. The Airodek Drophead includes a safety catch that prevents accidental striking.

Composite PanelComposite panels provide a high quality finish, they can last up to twenty times longer than ply panels and they are much easier to clean and repair, saving significantly on replacement and maintenance costs.
