Large slab area rotation
Drop-head panels strip early while props stay in place, so the next bay can start.
SOLUTION 02 Slab & Beam
Slab & Beam Formwork Solutions
Fast, flexible horizontal formwork for slabs, beams, and large-span structures. TECON offers Alu-Flex, Slab Flex 20, H20 girder, and slab table systems for efficient concrete slab construction.
Overview — TECON Horizontal Formwork Systems
TECON slab and beam formwork covers the full range of horizontal concrete construction. Drop-head technology enables early panel stripping at 3–7 days while props remain supporting the slab.
Aluminium Alu-Flex panels are 65% lighter than steel, so one person can handle them. Slab Flex 20 timber beams adapt to any column grid layout.
3–7 days Props removed, early panel strip
15 kg/m² 65% lighter than steel panels
2.0–8.0 m Span without custom parts
4 days/floor Multi-storey cycle
Applications & Typical Configurations
Recommended slab and beam formwork by project type.
| Application | Dimensions | Recommended System | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open slab areas | 20–100 m² | Alu-Flex + drop head | Fast rotation, schedule-driven |
| Varying beam spans | 2.0–8.0 m | Slab Flex 20 | Adapts to any grid |
| Heavy industrial slabs | 12 kN/m² | H20 + props | High load capacity |
| Large repetitive bays | Up to 80 m² | Slab table | Crane-handled, fastest cycle |
Engineering Challenges Addressed
Common slab and beam conditions solved by TECON systems.
Varying beam spans
Slab Flex 20 covers irregular spans across the floor plate without a custom beam every time.
Early striking
Panels come off at 3–7 days. Props remain until the slab can carry itself.
Manual handling
Alu-Flex at 15 kg/m² can be set by one person. No crane is required for standard panels.
