Geotub: build round columns 44 % faster
28 April 2021
Geotub is our reusable plastic formwork for the construction and reconstruction of round and oval columns. Since we launched it in 2003, it has become the go-to circular formwork in its field because, unlike traditional formworks, it enables easy and cost-effective casting of a large number of columns in record time, without the use of machinery.
Compared to cardboard formwork, for example, Geotub offers 44 % better speed performance in the casting of round columns:
An 80 cm diameter column casting speed:
|
GEOTUB 3.6 m per hour |
CARDBOARD 2 m per hour |
GEOTUB
3.6 m per hour
CARDBOARD
2 m per hour
The almost double speed performance of the pouring process with Geotub is possible because:
- It weighs max. 11 kg, offering quick and easy manual handling and installation,
- It is durable, with 80 kn/m2 load resistance, and unaffected with humidity or weathering conditions,
- It is easy to dismantle, leaving a perfectly smooth finish of the concrete, with no further treatment needed.
Along with the casting speed, Geotub offers many other advantages:
- It is stackable and lightweight, speeding up the overall building process and greatly reducing the expenses of storage and transport,
- Manual installation and less demand for heavy machinery make it convenient in regular working conditions and irreplaceable in busy or inaccessible worksites,
- It is reusable and has its own set of accessories, producing significantly less waste and minimizing the amount of transport to landfills,
- It is made of recycled plastic and can be rented, supporting sustainability and decreasing the amount of plastic waste.
