Abstract
Method and arrangement for casting structures using form-work is disclosed applicable but no limited to on-site casting concrete construction panels for subsequent erection. Set back from form-work location are set-back buttresses (,) fixed to the work site surface. The set-back buttresses (,) support sliding risers (,) which can be secured in place relative to the set-back buttresses (,) and released and moved to and from the form-work location. The sliding risers (,) support form-work at the form-work location. A plurality of sliding risers (,) can be supported by the set-back buttresses (,) one above the other. In this way side-forms can be supported for structures of complex vertical profiles; for example, convex or concave walls, steps and stacks of construction panels may be moulded. Also disclosed are reusable side-forms which are supported by the sliding risers (,) and can be used as form work for construction panels. The side-forms can be butted together end to end and also end to face thereby continuous rectangular moulds can be made.
