Monotub on Site

Delivery

Because MONOTUB DD is produced on your specifications further adjustments on the site are usually not necessary.

Storage on Site

Because MONOTUB DD is 100% water resistance, the formwork normally can be stored outside, without the risk of damaging the quality of the column former. We do advise you to store the tubes vertically to prevent them from deforming.

Installing the Column Form

MONOTUB DD is extremely light, and therefore it can be handled by one man only, without the use of a crane. Furthermore, two yokes are needed to keep the tube in place.

And again MONOTUB DD offers you’re the advantage of being waterproof. It is not necessary to pour the concrete immediately after erecting the tubes. You can determine when this should be done, without the need for covering the formwork against rain, etc.

Pouring the Column

Pouring the concrete is easy with MONOTUB DD. Because of it strength, it is possible to pour the column in one move. However, you will get the best result when the concrete in condensed after every 50cm (beware of damaging the inside of the tube).

With longer columns it is advisable to prevent the concrete from falling too deep, and damaging the formwork.

Removing the Column Form

MONOTUB DD can be removed very easily with a knife, for example. However, the ‘Speed’ type is provided with a ‘zipper’ of 0.5mm steel.

With this line you can cut the column former open in one move. The smooth film that remains on the column can be easily removed by hand. After removing the former, you can put it back into place, to protect the column. Because of the waterproof compositions of the former it is not necessary to remove it immediately, this can be done at any suitable moment.
