Superslim SoldiersWorking TogetherSuperslim Soldiers in conjunction with other RMD products, such as Alform Beams and Rapid Bar Tie can be used with plywood to construct a diverse range of conventional formwork.

Superslim Beam LengthsManufactured in nine standard lengths from 10mm to 3600mm gives almost unlimited assembly scope.

No LimitsThe Superslim Soldier has no limitation on design pressures, with faster pour rates, a minimum number of ties for labour savings on every pour and it is 20% lighter than proprietary panel or timber formwork.

Robust DesignFormwork ties and other components can be fixed virtually anywhere along the Superslim Soldier’s length, giving you the freedom to create the optimum design.

ReflexCurved walls the easy wayReflex is a pre-assembled, adjustable panel that is easily and quickly adjusted for the setting of all curves efficiently and accurately.

Pre-assembledReflex is delivered pre-assembled, therefore there is no need for concern about losing components and time for set-up is dramatically reduced.

Can be combined for high poursReflex can be combined for high pours and can be used in a climbing configuration to cater for multi-pour structures.

No dismantlingReflex is easily adjusted for re-use at pour after pour without dismantling, which eliminates the risk of component loss and improves on-site productivity.

Pressure up to 60KNm²It has a steel frame, which means it is strong, withstanding concrete pressures of up to 60KNm². Furthermore it is galvanised and is thus easy to maintain.

Safe and sesecureReflex access platforms and guardrails provide a safe and secure working platform during site operations.

MinimaPressures up to 60kPaMinima is RMD's modular wall formwork panel for concrete pressures up to 60kPa.

High System ProductivityUp to 25m squared of clamped panels can be crane lifted into position if required. Clamps are easily tightened prolonging their working life and reducing labour requirements.

Lightweight PanelsMinima panels weigh only 30 kg/m2, allowing some of them to be easily and safely set by hand.

Strike With EaseMinima inner corners have 2 degrees of stripping clearance.

Extensive Range of AccessoriesMinima has the versatility to adapt to most building shapes, quickly and easily.

18 Panel SizesAllows virtually any configuration to be erected.

Special FormworkPartnershipsWhen necessary RMD undertakes a partnership approach with clients to meet special formwork requirements.

Cost Effective SolutionsWith our worldwide design and engineering capability, we ensure that we provide the most cost effective and safe solutions possible, through the combined use of both standard and special components.

A Flexible ApproachFlexibility combined with RMD's understanding provides its clients with the confidence that the safest, most efficient and lowest in-use cost for special formwork has been provided to them.

Travelling FormworkInfinite PossibilitiesConstruction times can be minimised, whilst ensuring maximum efficiency and low in-use cost.

Simultaneous PoursMegashor shafts connected with Superslim Soldiers and fabricated header beams allow the walls and slab to be poured simultaneously.

No CranageSuperslim Soldiers with 6-way connectors form the gantry to suspend the wall shutters from, eliminating the need for a crane.


8

RapidclimbEasy OperationThe Rack and Pinion activation mechanism is operated from a comfortable position to one side of the bracket. There is a wedge locking device which secures the position of the shutter when formwork is stationary.

Simple AdjustmentSimple lateral adjustment of the form relative to the platform by way of slotted mountings. Integral vertical adjustment jack for fine levelling of shutter relative to platform.

Plenty of Working Space750mm working space on the inside of the formwork when it is retracted.

Simple HandlingThe platform and form can be crane handled as a single element.

Suspended PlatformSystem suspended platforms enable removal of wall brackets and necessary concrete finishing.

Recoverable Anchor ScrewsFor vertical loads of up to 30kN Climbing Brackets connect to the wall with recoverable anchor screws - no lost parts (for higher loads an anchor cone and lost plate are used).


9

Ascent-FVersatileAscent can be used with any formwork system to construct piers and straight or curved walls sloping by up to 20 degrees.

Peace of MindThe highly visible Ascent Latch connects securely with the Ascent Wall Brackets. ELEV (Electronic Latch Engagement Verification) system further enhances visibility.

Cost ReducingStarts from the first wall lift and masts are safely extended in-situ speeding early construction cycles, reducing labour and saving valuable site space.

Functional DesignPre-assembly of equipment can be carried out without cranes at ground level.

Weather ProofAscent can be lifted in high winds and if no crane is available, the simple Ascent hydraulic system can be used.

Ease of UseWall brackets can be pre-mounted on the cast-in wall anchor before adding the connecting bolt making this a fast job for a single operative.

Rapid PlyUsed Without a CraneThe heaviest panel of 1.44m2 weighs only 38.5kg, consequently Rapid Ply can be used without requiring a crane to form in-situ concrete structures, even on the most difficult project sites.

High Tensile Steel FramesRapid Ply panels are made from high tensile steel frames which makes the panels more rigid, more robust and up to 5kg/m2 lighter than competitor panels.

Provides a Good Quality FinishThe 12mm thick plywood with a heavy-duty phenolic overlay on the face provides extra long life and a high quality finish for the concrete.

A Large Range of PanelsA wide range of panel sizes are available from 600mm x 600mm to 2400mm x 600mm, enabling the assembly of virtually any combination of panels for a large range of layouts and pour heights to suit structures of various sizes and shapes.

Erection and Striking is FastThe erection and striking of Rapid Ply is fast and straight forward and only needs a team of two; saving time and money.
