The frame profile is the backbone of every panelised formwork system - literally. Its robustness, stability and flexural rigidity make a considerable difference in practice and its long lifespan. More important, they affect the system's concrete load capacity - and the speed and safety of your pour. MEVA developed the closed hollow profile that provides structural stability.
Manufacturing expertise on-board and in-house production stands for continuous, top-notch performance from the idea to series production. All MEVA locations across the world are audited according to the European standard DIN ISO 9001 and offer our clients consistently high quality.
MEVA uses a closed hollow steel profile in all its heavy-duty formwork systems. Being closed means it is more stable and torsion-free. Concrete cannot creep in anywhere. This makes cleaning and maintenance easier.
It was MEVA's idea to produce a closed double-chamber profile in aluminium that made aluminium formwork, with its weight advantages over steel, technically possible in the first place! The double chamber gives the profile the stability and robustness needed for formwork use. The frames are primed and coated using state-of-the-art powder coating technology.
In addition, the MEVA hand-set wall formwork systems AluFix and MevaLite as well as the slab system MevaDec have an ergonomic grip profile which makes them easier to handle, even when wet.
All MEVA formwork systems are equipped with the same multi-function profiles to which all accessory parts are attached in the identical manner. Its unique feature is a Dywidag nut that is welded in on both sides to give it a sturdy and long-lasting hold. Welding it in prevents it from moving as may be the case with conventional beading. This enhances zero-error and safe assembly. It also means that working platforms are firmly attached and cannot slip away.
The tie holes with conical sleeve allow you to tie panels even when they are slanted.
The original panel connection from the inventor of the clamp! It was MEVA who invented and initially patented the formwork clamp in 1977. The clamp joins and aligns formwork panels, creating a structurally effective link between one frame and the next. You need only a few hammer blows to secure the connection. The clamp has no losable parts and is the lightest and most compact of its kind to this day. What's more, it can be placed anywhere on the frame, allowing you to connect panels even on uneven ground.
MEVA formwork panels leave minimum imprint on the concrete surface. In contrast to conventional plywood facing, the all-plastic facing alkus is fitted flush with the panel frame. And since the 100 % wood-free facing does not swell or shrink, the flush fit stays for its lifetime.
MEVA offers you the choice of 10 wall systems with the industry's most comprehensive selection of panel sizes. This gives you maximum flexibility and ensures minimum effort for compensation and filler areas. Optimised logistics save time and money.
When MEVA rigorously inspects, cleans and reconditions selected, used formwork, the results become part of the MEVA Original Used Formwork brand.
MEVA fulfils stringent requirements with flexible formwork solutions. The Budapest Zoo & Botanical Garden is one of the Hungary’s most popular cultural attractions.
BIM stands for Building Information Modelling, a holistic, software-based method for optimised planning and execution of construction projects.
Uniting functions currently scattered across 30 locations, Zurich's new Police and Justice Centre (PJZ) will house the cantonal police force, the prosecution authorities as well as police detention and prison facilities.
MEVA STB 450 offers flexible solution for narrow, inclined rail section: Near the municipality of Gretzenbach, the four-track route branches into two separate lines. Here, the two southern tracks gradually descend and pass below the cantonal road before entering the new Eppenberg Tunnel.
The focus of MEVA's first collaboration with Austrian company GLS was nature conservation and the construction of two fish passes on the River Traun.
