LOGIK 60
Description
The LOGIK 60 panel system for crane
handling produces 60 kN/m2 concrete
pressure resistance from a robust panel.
The panel is surface-finished with a robust
hot-dip galvanising to give longevity and
lower maintenance, resulting in reduced
costs. Manufactured to tight tolerances,
panels are clamped rigidly together with
a unique Alignment, Locking and Levelling
ALL Clamp with a single hammer blow.
This action is so secure that form
assemblies can then be crane-handled
without additional structural members. A
large number of re-uses are then feasible
without the need for time-consuming
stripping down.
20
The panels feature a special rolled steel
profile 140 mm in depth that combines
with high quality 18 mm plywood. This is
supported at 300 mm centres and edge-
sealed in polyurethane. Multiple tie holes
allow for tie rods/plates, all of which are
positioned for maximum panel stiffness
and strength.
Flexibility
The LOGIK 60 system features a full
range of sizes that offer the flexibility to
cope with a wide variety of situations
encountered.
Single sided forms
SGB LOGIK 60 panels can also be used
to form single-sided wall forms in
conjunction with SGB MULTIFORM
components in an A-Frame configuration.
Column forms
Standard panel forms can be employed
for highly rigid, high-quality finishes in
column forms with a wide variety of
different column size options. Avoids the
need for time-consuming timber and
waling assemblies, by utilising the
strength of the novel column coupler
component.
Circular (polygonal) forms
Standard LOGIK panels can be used to
create impressive circular (polygonal)
structures in conjunction with the use of
their versatile panel clamps and tie plates.

LOGIK 50

Description Flexibility Column forms

LOGIK 50 is a 50 kN/m2 strength,
versatile panel system with unit weights of
approximately 35 kg/m2. This makes it
suitable for projects requiring man-
handling capability where crane access is
restricted or impractical.
Simple in use, but smart in design
concept, the panels are secured in a
similar way to the crane-handled version.
A lightweight clamp is pre-set and
clamped single-handed in one simple
action.
The component solutions are fast, flexible
and offer a good standard of finish with
minimal grout loss, avoiding the need to
import timber elements requiring special
skills.
Single sided forms
SGB LOGIK 50 panels can also be used
to form single-sided wall forms in
conjunction with SGB MULTIFORM
components in an A-Frame configuration.
Standard panel forms can be employed
for highly rigid, high-quality finishes in
column forms with a need for time-
consuming timber and waling assemblies,
by utilising the strength of the novel
column coupler component.
Circular (polygonal) forms
Standard LOGIK panels can be used to
create impressive circular structures in
conjunction with the use of their versatile
panel clamps and tie plates.

It can be attached at any number of

horizontal or vertical positions.

Once fastened, a tight connection is

maintained to avoid grout loss. The holes
are positioned at the strongest part of the
panel.

LOGIK 360

LOGIK 360 is the first plywood-faced
truly circular panel formwork system. The
patented design of LOGIK 360
demonstrates SGB Formwork’s innovative
approach to circular formwork.
LOGIK 360 has very few components,
cutting the chances of site losses to an
absolute minimum. A LOGIK 360 wall is
constructed with a 1.24 m Inner Panel, a
1.25 m Outer Panel, LOGIK 60 Ties and
Tie Washers, and LOGIK 60 Adjustable
Clamps.
The new design has eliminated the
hundreds of bolts, turnbuckles, beams,
walers and multiple components
commonly used on older systems.
Crane handling and transport are also
much easier with LOGIK 360, because of
the low unit weight of approximately
58 kg/m2, combined with the slim profile
of the panel, measuring just 140 mm
deep.
The standard SGB Formwork panels can
be used for circular walls down to 4 m
minimum radius. Further panels are
available to cope with smaller radii, down
to 2.5 m minimum radius.
LOGIK 360 is also fully compatible with
the LOGIK 60 panels, making transitions
from straight walls to circular walls simple
and easy.

MULTIFORM A-FRAMES

Multiform A–Frames
● Single-sided forming
● 2 m – 5 m modular sizes
● Larger sizes available
● Sliding foot feature
● Compatible with all formwork types

MULTIFORM A-Frames are used in the

construction of single-sided walls when
tieing through the formwork is not
possible.

A-Frames are used for the construction of

concrete walls cast against the face of
existing walls in basement construction or
similar.

MULTIFORM A-Frames are available in

2 m, 3 m, and 5 m modular sizes, fully
assembled for immediate use on site.

They are compatible with all LOGIK panel

formwork as well as traditional soldier
and beam formwork.

The frames are made up largely of bolted

connections, making repair and
maintenance simple and easy.

Accessories for the A-Frames such as

walkway brackets are fully compatible
with LOGIK panel formwork, making
good cross-utilisation of products.

The A-Frames contain a “Sliding foot”

feature to enable the wall to be fully
tightened to the wall kicker.

The 2 m Mini A-Frame is ideal for the

construction of deep base pours where tie
deformation prevents the use of double-
sided concrete pours. The modular units
allow simple, fast, reliable installation. The
Mini A-Frame contains a unique frame-
setting feature, allowing the units to be
anchored and accurately aligned in just
two actions.

Multiform Climbing Bracket

● Integral climbing of formwork and

● Panel formwork or traditional formwork
● Allows a variety of secondary beams
● Trip-free access deck

MULTIFORM Climbing Brackets are a

robust economical solution to the integral
climbing of formwork and access
platforms. The system can be used with
either LOGIK panel formwork or MKII
SOLDIER and DU-AL aluminium beam
formwork. The formwork is fixed to the
travelling cart assembly and simply rolled
back along a rack and pinion, giving
huge savings in craneage time.

The versatile MULTIFORM Climbing

Bracket allows a variety of secondary
platform beams to be used, up to a
maximum size of 225 mm, giving a stiff
reliable platform for any size span or
cantilever.

When the next anchor point has been

fixed, the whole unit is lifted up, giving a
safe area for reinforcement to be fixed.

The anchor point consists of a recoverable

anchor cone, with a nailing disc to assist
casting the cone into the wall pour.

The MULTIFORM Climbing Brackets come

with a range of trailing platforms for
access to the cast face for making good
and recovering anchor cones.

The internal platform beams can be

climbed either using the pivoting foot, or
an internal shoe bolted onto the wall. If
the pivoting foot is used, a special steel
mould is available for casting the correct
shaped bearing port into the wall.

CL25 GENERAL PURPOSE CLIMBING BRACKET

With a safe working load of up to 25kN,

the CL25 bracket can provide safe access
and formwork support for lifted pours. It
also simplifies the process of fixing soffit
edge formwork.

Supported from an existing tie point or

cast-in anchor, the triangulated design of
the frame allows simple installation and
reduces the risk of damage to the
concrete finish.

Complete assemblies can be pre-

fabricated on the ground and lifted into
place to support both personnel and
formwork. With decking, toeboards and
handrails, a secure working area can be
provided.

Benefits
● Maximum SWL of 25 kN (2.5 tonnes)
● Single fixing point to concrete
● Can accommodate trailing work
platform
● Can be supported from tie fixing point
● Provides safe working deck at any
height
● Maximum 2.4 m horizontal spacing
● Continuous deck possible around
outside corners
● Can be pre-fabricated at ground level

Fixing
Brackets are normally fixed to an existing
cast-in tie point. Recoverable anchor
screws can also be used.

Minimum concrete strength for all

applications is 21 N/mm.

The general purpose bracket is non-

adjustable. For applications where
significant adjustment is required, contact
our Technical Services Department.

HIGHRISER

Highriser
● Self-climbing formwork
● Independent of crane
● Steel-faced or ply-faced formwork
● Jumpform or Climbform

HIGHRISER is a self-climbing formwork

system for the construction of high-rise
concrete cores or bridge piers. The system
is able to operate totally independently of
a crane, after an initial set-up, and
hydraulically climb up the structure.

The system is available in either

“Jumpform” or “Climbform”.

The Jumpform system climbs within a

confined core with a steel table
cantilevering out over the external walls to
support the external shutters and platform.

The Climbform system climbs up the

external face of the wall only.

The units are jacked up in a rack system

by a series of interconnecting hydraulic
jacks. The bearing feet of the frames are
always maintained at a low enough
distance from the pour level, such that
concrete curing time is not a critical issue.

The basic climbing units can be used with

either steel-faced forms or ply-faced forms
to suit the project.

The design is versatile enough to cope

with any shape of structure, and changes
in plan dimensions can also be designed
into the frame.

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION PARAPET SUPPORT

MULTIFORM BRIDGE PARAPET BRACKET

The MULTIFORM Bridge Parapet Bracket

is a cantilever formwork system. It is used
to facilitate the construction of concrete
edge projections and parapets of
composite steel girder and pre-cast
concrete bridge decks.

The system utilises much less equipment

than a traditional under-slung
arrangement and aims to maximize the
following benefits:
● speed of erection and striking
● operative safety
● versatility for all parapets
The system allows for all the work to be
done by operatives on the concrete deck.
The versatile MULTIFORM beam allows for
bolt-on options to be used to deal with
any size of parapet arrangement.

System outline
This innovative parapet system really has
been designed with the user in mind.

The attention to detail removes the need

for awkward timber packers, and allows
the user to simply set the positioning
jacks.

The large handled tapered She Bolt allows

for simple and easy removal from the set
concrete. The Multiform C-hook also
completes the systemised approach,
enabling large units to be economically
crane lifted for erection and striking.

Web Support
SGB’s Web Support can also be used to
provide an economical method of
supporting in-situ bridge decks through
pre-loaded consumable polyester beam
hangers.

MKII SOLDIERS

MKII Soldier Bridge Parapets

● Underslung suspended falsework
● Steel composite bridges
● Pre-cast concrete bridges
● Overslung static/travelling frame

Standard MKII SOLDIERS and ancillaries

can be used for the construction of
concrete parapets and bridge decks.

The soldiers can be underslung beneath

the bridge to enable the concreting of
bridge decks and parapets to both steel
composite and pre-cast concrete bridge
construction.

The strong, versatile MKII SOLDIERS make

an ideal solution for suspending bridge
falsework over roads, railway lines and
waterways.

The underslung solution can be used for

the construction of the full width of a
bridge deck in a single pour.

The MKII SOLDIER has also been used on

numerous projects as an overslung frame.
This solution gives an economical frame
for repairing bridge parapets or casting
newly formed parapets after the central
deck section has been poured.

The versatile MKII SOLDIER overslung

frame can be a project-specific design,
using standard soldier components, to
make a strong, stable frame for the
construction of any size of parapet.

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION BRIDGE DECK SUPPORT

CUPLOK SUPPORT

● 74 kN leg load
● Unique node point: 4 connections in one
● Systemised quick-erection bracing
● 20% lighter than traditional scaffolding

The design of CUPLOK is ideal for bridge

support work since its strength and
versatility can produce great savings in
erection and supervision times on site. The
fastening of four components at once, on
one level, makes CUPLOK a highly
economical support medium.

Systemised bracing and the rocking

(sloping) components cater for falls in
both directions. SGB have a wide variety
of ledger sizes (from 0.6 m to 2.5 m) to
produce the most economical grid layout
for any thickness of slab.

The 74 kN leg loading capacity will

reduce the number of vertical or
horizontal supports required, and improve
productivity.

CUPLOK has a long history of successful

support to motorway and trunk road
bridges across the world.

ACCESS AND EDGE PROTECTION EDGE PROTECTION

EXTRAGUARD SYSTEM

● Triple wire rigid-mesh edge protection

● Highly durable galvanised and powder-
coated finish
● Fast and simple installation
● Patented range of fixing components

SGB EXTRAGUARD is systemised metal

panel edge protection offering a higher
standard of safety to reduce the risk of
falls from height. EXTRAGUARD is a
highly visible full-mesh panel with a
galvanised and powder-coated finish.

EXTRAGUARD comprises a combination

of patented clamping devices, posts and
full-mesh panels with a unique triple wire
construction. This gives the mesh an
unrivalled rigidity and also protects the
edges of the mesh from damage.

New Safety Standard

The new prEN 13374 ‘Temporary Edge
Protection Systems’ is the very first
British/European Standard to be written
solely for edge protection. The new
requirements fundamentally change the
approach to edge protection. In
particular, the deflection requirements
apply to the whole mesh panel area, not
just to the top rail. The rigid triple wire
EXTRAGUARD mesh panel fully meets
these requirements.
