Instructions for assembly and use (Method statement)
Planning guidelines
Co-ordinate the widths of the gang-forms with the
lengths of the "Xsafe plus" platforms.
We recommend forming corners and similar snags in
the following way:
▪Option 1
Divide up the work into separate casting sections
(i.e. separated by a construction joint):
- Set up formwork and pour first straight wall.
- Set up formwork and pour second straight wall,
with corner connection.
▪Option 2
Cast in a single pour (no construction joint):
- First set up the formwork for the corners.
- Then set up the formwork for the straight wall
between the corners.
- Cast in one single pour.
The sequence outlined below is based on a straight
wall.
Ladders must be located so as to create viable "traffic
routes" in the horizontal. (On a straight wall, for exam-
ple, one ladder on the first element and another on the
last).
Pre-assembly
➤Pre-assemble gang-forms face-down on an assem-
bly bench.
➤Mount the platforms, walings, ladder system and
panel struts on the face-down gang-form (see the
relevant section of this booklet).
Example of room-high formwork:
Example of high formwork:
Closing the formwork
➤Attach the crane lifting tackle to the gang-form with
the Xsafe plus lifting walers (see the section headed
'Lifting by crane' and the 'Xsafe plus lifting waler'
Operating Instructions).
➤Raise the gang-form by crane.
➤Spray the formwork sheet with release agent.
➤Lift the gang-form to its new location.
➤Fix the panel struts firmly to the ground (see the sec-
tion headed 'Plumbing accessories').
The gang-form is now stable and can be plumbed
and aligned exactly, with no need for the crane.
➤Extend the Xsafe plus counter railing (see the sec-
tion headed ‘Railings facing formwork").
The platform railings are now in place on all sides,
making it safe to get up onto the platform.
➤Detach the gang-form from the crane.
➤Continue lining up further gang-forms in this way,
and clamp them together.

Max. load-bearing capacity:
Spread angle βup to 15°: 1750 kg per lifting waler
Spread angle βup to 30°: 800 kg per lifting waler
CAUTION
Never use a sledge-hammer to plumb and align
the elements!
This would damage the profiles of the gangs.
➤Use only proper plumbing tools (e.g. a spe-
cial pry-bar) that cannot cause any damage.
