Retaining Wall Mould

01 / 09

How this mould works

The panel is cast flat on a steel table. Once it has gained strength, cylinders tilt the table up so a crane lifts the panel out upright, with no turning in the air.

Casting bed

A steel skin plate forms the face of the panel. It is cut on the laser and welded flat to the frame.

Side forms

Edge forms set the size and thickness of the panel. The bottom form carries the panel while the table tilts.

Ribbed frame

Longitudinal beams and a cross rib every 600 mm keep the bed flat under wet concrete and while it tilts.

Pivot stands and rest stools

The table turns on hinge pins on fixed stands bolted to the floor. When flat, it sits on rest stools for the pour.

Kotec newRun10DX CNC beam drilling lineH-beams up to 1,000 x 500 mm

Used here for: Pivot stands and rest stools

Heavy profiles that need precise holes, where plasma cannot do the job: the lower structure and panel borders of a ground flare, and every bolted PEB and multi-storey frame.

• H-beams up to 1,000 x 500 mm
• Drills 3 faces in one pass
• Channels, angles and box sections

Tilting cylinders

Hydraulic cylinders, run from a power pack, lift the table to its tilt angle and lower it back.

07 / 09

Vibrators

External vibrators under the bed compact the concrete through the skin.

The panel it casts

The panel is shown on the tilted table, ready for the crane.
