TECON Dam Formwork DB180 / DB240
TECON Dam Formwork DB180 & DB240 is a heavy-duty system designed for one-sided concrete structures, particularly in mass concrete applications where tie rods cannot pass through the structure. With high load-bearing capacity and a robust anchoring system, it ensures safe and stable operation in demanding projects such as dams, hydropower stations, and navigation locks.
Features & Benefits
Dam Formwork Features and benefits
- Tie Rod Free Waterproofing: Engineered for structures requiring absolute water tightness or where horizontal slabs are absent, eliminating through wall tie rods to prevent water seepage.
- Rigid Triangular Support: Brackets connect into a strong triangle that locks into the concrete and braces at the bottom, using natural leverage to hold back concrete pressure completely without any tie rods.
- Versatile Profile Adaptation: Highly versatile frame design that operates smoothly on straight vertical walls, single-sided retaining walls, and inclined dam faces.
- Efficient Crane Lift Moving: The unitized bracket and formwork assembly repositions to the next pouring level in single crane lifts, saving onsite handling time.
- Seamless System Compatibility: Integrates perfectly with standard TECON wall formwork components to maximize equipment turnover on site.
Dam Formwork Application
Widely used in mass concrete projects requiring strict seepage control, including concrete dams, retaining walls, hydropower plants, navigation locks, and heavy foundations without tie rod access.
