Introduction / Certifi cation Alsipercha System
Apart from the assembly and operating instructions, each chapter
includes a series of safety recommendations. It is important that
these are observed. However, these recommendations are neither
exhaustive nor defi nitive, and should they not coincide with the
indications in the Health and Safety Plan or its equivalent according to
local legislation, the latter shall prevail.
If there are persons who cannot read the documentation or have
diffi culty doing so, they must follow the customer’s instructions and
indications.
Should you have any questions regarding the contents of this manual
or any suggestions as to how it can be improved, please address your
comments to your Alsina Marketing Technician or through our website:
www.alsina.com
Info In order to obtain the best performance from its
formwork systems, Alsina continuously updates the
assembly and operation instructions for its products.

Introduction
Alsina’s instructions for installation, use and safety are intended as
a guide to the procedures required for safe and correct assembly,
disassembly and use of formwork systems under normal conditions, in
line with the standards commonly accepted on work sites. Any specifi c
work circumstance falling outside these standards may require them
to be adapted. When in doubt, do not hesitate to contact one of our
technical departments, anywhere in the world.
The instructions in this document are intended to explain to users
and technicians how the system works; they should ensure correct
preparation and use of the equipment on site. Consequently,
there will be references to general standards that any professional
user should be familiar with. Thus, it is best not to reproduce them in
this manual, since any modifi cations to these standards would lead
to discrepancies between the standards and the manual and could
cause confusion. Users should always refer to the latest version of the
standards in force.
Therefore, the references in this manual in no way annul, replace or
prevail over:
1- Standards and regulations on prevention of risks in the workplace
specifi c to a country or region.
2- The instructions in the specifi c Health and Safety Plan for the works.
3- Safety instructions in the evaluations and plans applying to specifi c
work functions in a company.
4- Technical orders and instructions specifi c to particular stages of
the works, issued by the technical directors, the health and safety
offi cer, the foremen and/or Prevention Resources.
Throughout the project, users shall respect, at all times, the specifi c
laws, standards and regulations of the country or region related to
prevention of risks in the workplace and any other legislation applicable
to each case and, if necessary, supplement the instructions and adapt
to other Work Safety Measures.
It is the customer’s responsibility to prepare, document, implement
and review the risk evaluation for the construction work.
This documentation provides the basis for the evaluation of specifi c
risks in the works, and Alsina’s Instruction Manuals may in no case be
regarded as a substitute.
Sets of vertical formwork equipment, as systems, are made up
by joining different components. As far as possible, drawings and
diagrams have been included as an aid to understanding these
instructions. All personnel working with these products should be
familiar with the contents of this document and the safety instructions
therein.
The illustrations in this manual refer, in part, to different phases of the
assembly process. Customers should ensure that they have a copy of
the assembly and operating instructions, supplied by Alsina, and that
these are known to and available to users on site.

Alsipercha tripod mounting procedure
Info . It is very important to mount the ALSIPERCHA
TRIPOD on suffi ciently compact and resistant terrain so
that the anchor device provides suffi cient safety guarantees.
There are various terrain / slab / footing options:
Option of anchoring to concrete/slab footing
- Minimum characteristics of a concrete platform to anchor the
tripod must be: HA25 concrete or higher (minimum resistance of
concrete for use = 10 MPa, if fresh concrete is used), measurements
of 300 x 300 cm and thickness of 25 cm, as well as a scrap
metal covering.
In this case, the anchor will consist of placing 3 “M12 FISCHER FH

Procedure for use on site
General Information
There are 5.5 or 6.5 metres from the anchor point to the fl oor,
depending on the type of tripod selected, meaning that the worker
can work above the truck load in complete safety. The diameter of the
circular surface occupied by the tripod base is 2.7 m
Safety information
The Alsipercha is only for the operations indicated in this document,
to prevent them from falling when loading on or unloading from delivery
vehicle platforms.
Other spare parts that are not supplied with the system must
not be used.
Check all the parts of the Alsina unloading system components before
installing. Never use the equipment if it is damaged or rusty, as this
may affect its safety.
If activated due to a fall of a user, the retractable device must be
withdrawn from service and inspected by an appropriate person.
If you have any queries, please contact Alsina
Step 9
With a dynamometric wrench, torque to 80 Nm. Repeat for all three
anchors. Finally, using the crane, place the Alsipercha on top of the
ALSIPERCHA TRIPOD.

Final assembly
Trucks that are 6 m long
To unload the 6-metre platform of a truck, only one Alsipercha system
will need to be used. When parking the truck, the rear box/platform
must be situated according to the distances shown in the following
illustration:
LEGEND

2. Alsipercha System
3. 10 m retractable device
4. Worker
Any worker unloading a truck with a 6 m platform, must use:
• Suitable footwear
• A refl ective jacket and a helmet with chin protection
• A safety harness
• 0.3 m additional extension rope for subsequent anchoring
Once the worker has the PPE correct (Personal Protection Equipment),
he can hang the additional 0.3 m rope on his harness by rolling it up
and attach the other end of the fall arrest device to the retractable
element with a snap hook.
The worker must be connected to the system before accessing the
platform.

Trucks that are 12 m long
As the image below shows, when a 12-metre truck is loaded and
unloaded, two Alsipercha systems must be used simultaneously.
When parking the truck, the rear box/platform must be situated
according to the distances shown in the illustration below.
The worker must be attached to two Alsipercha systems. This will help
him control the movement on the 12 m long platform in the event of
a fall.
If it should be necessary to access the outer corners of the platform, it
is best to move the truck to ensure that the worker is within a range of
3.5 m from the structure.

Employment and Loading of the System Alsipercha System
Report by the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia
(UPV)*
(.../...)
4.- CONCLUSIONS
- This study analyzes the infl uence exerted on the behavior of the
reinforced concrete columns by the use of the Fall Arrest System
developed by ENCOFRADOS J. Alsina, S.A.
(.../...)
The most important conclusions are as follow:
1.- Although the sizes of concrete column sections are usually
selected for shear stress and fl exocompression separately,
this study has considered these jointly, in a similar way to the
analysis of metal structural sections. This makes it easier to
consider the infl uence of the steel tube.
2.- As a result, we estimate that the reduction of section shear
stress resistance caused by the hole in the concrete would
be absorbed assuming, in the fl exocompression calculation,
that the steel of the tube experiences a reduction in elastic
limit which has been taken as 5%, to be on the safe side.
3.- Considering this reduction in the elastic limit of the steel,
the Axis-Moment interaction diagrams for the section were
calculated without modifi cation and including the tube
(for different types of steel and thicknesses of tube).
Accordingly we have determined, for each type of concrete and
steel, the tube thicknesses that cause the interaction diagram
for the modifi ed section to wrap around the original section.
This ensures that there is no loss of resistance for the section for
that thickness of tube.
Report by the Association of Building Consultants
(ACE)*
1. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE REPORT
…the checks to assess the structural impact of this system, which is
the subject of this report, will be carried out in accordance with the
following regulations:
-EUROCODE 2: Design of concrete structures. Part 1-1: General rules
and rules for buildings. UNE-EN 1992-1-1:2013
-EUROCODE 3: Design of steel structures. Part 1-1: General rules
and rules for buildings. UNE-EN 1993-1-1:2008
…
5. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In the case of a C25/30 concrete column, placing an S-235JR tube
of the dimensions specifi ed in point 2 of this report inside it does not
imply any reduction of its resistant characteristics, as demonstrated in
the previous point.
As a summary, and for different concrete and steel resistances, two tables
(compression and shear) are shown with all possible combinations:
COMPRESSION SHEAR STRESS
Steel Steel
Concrete S235 JR S235 JR S355 JR Concrete S235 JR S235 JR S355 JR
C25/30 1.302 1.524 1.968 C25/30 1.892 2.214 2.858
C30/37 1.085 1.270 1.640 C30/37 1.615 1.890 2.440
C35/45 0.930 1.089 1.405 C35/45 1.411 1.651 2.131
C40/50 0.814 0.953 1.230 C40/50 1.253 1.466 1.893
C45/55 0.724 0.847 1.093 C45/55 1.128 1.320 1.703
C50/60 0.651 0.762 0.984 C50/60 1.025 1.200 1.549
It is observed, for example, that for a steel S-235JR such as that
of the current tube, in concrete with a characteristic strength equal
to or greater than 35 MPa, the safety coeffi cient is lower than the
unit. Therefore, in this case and in all those that appear in red in the
compression table, the incorporated tube as part of the ALSIPERCHA
system supposes a decrease in the resistance capacity of the column.
In these cases, once the formwork has been placed and the system
is no longer used, the hole should be cleaned and then fi lled with a
GROUT mortar of the same resistant characteristics as the concrete
of the column.
We present, for all relevant purposes and based on our fi rm knowledge
and understanding, our opinion which we defer to any other better-
founded opinion, in Girona, on July 11, 2019.

General usage considerations Alsipercha System
General usage considerations
These considerations complement those described in the system’s
assembly and disassembly process.
The system has been designed and calculated for the specifi c uses
and applications described in this manual. Therefore, Alsina accepts
no responsibility for the use of the equipment in situations other than
those described in this manual.
The Alsina Group does not participate in the management or execution
of the project, and the client is solely responsible for the proper use of
the materials supplied.
All the components have suffi cient strength and stability to support
the loads and stresses described in these instructions. It is essential
to place all the system’s components with all the accessories mounted
and properly assembled.
The technical operating instructions, safety indications and data on
loading conditions must be scrupulously observed and followed.
Failure to respect these indications may lead to accidents and severe
injuries (or death) and to considerable material damage.
Systems should not be mixed as they may be incompatible and are
neither designed for nor adapted to the assembly. Alsina rejects all
liability if the system components are replaced with similar components
supplied by another company.
Before starting assembly, the person in charge must plan for loading
and unloading, material storage, and laying out and marking the
areas where the work is to take place, in accordance with the general
organization of the construction work.
The following PPE must be used in the assembly/disassembly:
Gloves, boots, goggles, helmet, refl ective vest, etc.
For heights greater than 3.5 m, a safety harness must be used.
The equipment must be assembled by specialized personnel.
Work areas must be kept clean and orderly.
The largest possible number of operations must be carried out on the
fl oor.
Formwork must be interrupted in the event of heavy rain, snow,
lightning storms, or winds over 65 km/h (service wind pressure of
0.2 kN/m²), removing any materials or tools that may be loose.
Sources of fi re are not allowed near the formwork area.
Workers must always access the work area through the areas made
available for this purpose.
Storage
Having an area designated for compiling and controlling all the
elements supplied is recommended.
Areas must be delimited for the storage of materials or accessory
items for formwork, assembly, use and disassembly of formwork
elements. Personnel not involved in assembly or disassembly shall
not be allowed inside these delimited areas.
Storage shall be properly organized in suitable locations, away from
passageways.
All material must be properly stacked, without exceeding safe heights,
to avoid the risk of toppling or causing diffi culties when roping it for
lifting or transport. Work materials and tools must be placed or stored
so that they cannot collapse, fall or turn over.
Materials stored must be stable, arranged horizontally and wedged
in place.
Materials must not be stored on insecure slopes, unstable or loose
ground, or loose or unstable elements.
If the material is strapped, the straps should not be removed while
there are workers in its path.
Transporting Materials
There must be proper coordination between the crane worker and the
worker who hooks or guides the load. The crane worker must have a
clear view of the trajectory of the load or, failing this, must be assisted
by a guide, communicating with each other using a pre-agreed set of
signals.
Before starting load hoisting, the worker must move away from the
sweep area of the load. When the load is moving, no worker shall
be on it, and movements above or near people should be avoided.
The presence or passage of people under suspended loads must be
avoided.
The load must be well balanced and must be raised and lowered
slowly, avoiding abrupt acceleration and deceleration.
Loads must be lifted vertically, never diagonally, avoiding rocking and
horizontal dragging movements. When necessary, guide ropes or
cables adequate for the load being supported must be used for this
purpose.
When lifting heavy or bulky loads, the use of rocker arms is
recommended.
If the loads could collide with the structure, other on-site elements or
personnel, retention or load-guiding cables should be used.

6490009ENLZ / 6790009ENLZ

General usage considerations Alsipercha System
To prevent objects falling onto people and/or materials during hoisting,
loading or unloading operations, using trays or transport containers,
always following the manufacturer's instructions, is recommended.
Alsina provides the ALSINA CONTAINER item. Alternatively, they can
be lifted using slings, distribution beams, rocker arms, etc. in packages
strapped at both ends, hanging the load, thus avoiding horizontal
displacement of the stable assembly. Lifting systems must be with
closed hooks. The crane worker, who will have received the proper
training, shall always be responsible for fi nal review of the attachment
of the load.
Stacking the ALSINA CONTAINER more than three high is not
recommended. They must be stacked on a stable, fl at area.
Simultaneous movements shall not be carried out with the crane.
Loads must be hoisted using mechanical equipment, with a load
capacity suffi cient for the load being lifted.
Equipment Maintenance
A pre-established expiration date cannot be established for formwork,
but improper use of equipment that could cause damage to it must be
avoided.
Alsina, S.A. supplies the formwork material and is responsible for
delivering the equipment in good working condition, in accordance
with the criteria in our quality manual. When assembly is not carried
out by Alsina, the user must accept responsibility for proper use and
maintenance of the equipment.
The users are always responsible for maintaining all equipment,
whether rented or the customer's own property.
When assembling, the material must always be checked by a qualifi ed
individual who will verify that the equipment is apt for use or reject it,
especially in the event of a person falling. There are specifi c control
guidelines for using the main components of the system on site.
These are detailed in the appendix at the end of this section
(Appendix 1). In accordance with these criteria, when a part that is not
fi t for use is identifi ed, it must be rejected, avoiding the use of defective
or damaged parts.
The condition of the material must be checked before the start of a day
after strong winds, rains, snow, etc. since it is possible that a part could
have been dropped, displaced, loosened or damaged.
Annex: Regulationsin Spain
Spanish legislation requires that assembly and dismantling of the
system must be performed by personnel duly trained, as described
in Law 31/1995 and the modifi cations to this law contained in Law
54/2003, for work of this type, and must have the information and tools
required for the proper performance of the task.
Also, the contents of Royal Decree 1627/1997, on minimum health
and safety provisions applicable to construction work, as well as in
Royal Decree 2177/2004, which modifi es Royal Decree 1215/1997,
which establishes the Minimum Health and Safety Provisions for Use
of Work Equipment by Workers, on the subject of temporary work at
heights.
Regulations also require mandatory use of personal protective
equipment adequate for the work to be performed, as described in
Law 31/1995 and its further development in Royal Decree 773/1997.
In cases where workers from multiple companies are active
concurrently, there must be coordination on the subject of prevention,
as defi ned in article 24 of Law 31/1995 and its further development in
Royal Decree 171/2004.
