MK Formwork Carriage for Mine Tunnels

Completely configurable form carrier, most suitable for tunnels up to 1km long. Extremely cost-effective system. Available for rent.
Completely configurable form carrier, most suitable for tunnels up to 1km long. Extremely cost-effective system. Available for rent.

The formwork system for MK tunnels is composed of a lightweight mobile carriage that is used for both structure support and formwork. This is aimed at the civil engineering market, specifically the construction of mine tunnels of up to 1km long: underground stations, tunnel connections, hydraulic galleries etc.

Based on the MK System, the MK carriage is designed to carry out versatile and great load-bearing capacity assemblies. Most of the components are standard and available for rent, offering cost-effective and high-performance solutions. It also complies with all safety requirements thanks to working platforms, access, and other integrated safety element items.

  • Interior formwork for nozzle-poured concrete, vibrated from the exterior.
  • Withstands high pouring pressures.
  • Shuttering face of 6 mm steel panels.
  • Shaping timber for getting the required panel curvature.
  • Manual or hydraulic advance.
  • High Cost-Effectiveness
    • Made of standard rental material.
    • Material reusable for other projects.
    • Lightweight structure.
    • Quick work cycles. Easy use and repeatability.
    • Easy handling.
    • Carriages need not be dismantled for relocation.

 

  • Configurable
    • Sections can be built in a variety of shapes.
    • Structures configurable for different pressures and loads.
    • Excellent concrete finishing.
    • Steel panels adapt to different tunnel radii.
    • Worksite access can be configured according to project requirements.
    • Manual or hydraulic advance.
    • Separate pouring of side wall and vault is possible.
    • Distance between sections may be reduced to increase load-bearing capacity.
    • Easy stripping with screw jacks or cylinders.
    • Steel panels reusable for other tunnels.
    • Panels with inspection windows and openings for pouring nozzles and vibrator support.

 

  • Integrated safety
    • Integrated working platforms and safeguards.
