2 ALSINA Alsina's Mission Statement "To offer solutions for concrete structures that help our customers improve efficiency and safety in their projects, through a committed service and proximity in the global market by innovating and investing in our workers as a key component of the business." Alsina works under the ISO 9001:2008 Certification Included within the scope of our activities are formwork equipment sales, rental, manufacturing and maintenance, as well as the design, manufacturing, assembly and marketing of our systems. Engineering Alsina is committed to investing in R+D+I in order to add value to the market. Our engineering department has created more than 100 patents and utility models to date, thus, the industrialisation of the execution process of concrete structures "in situ" has improved, adding value also in terms of safety and ergonomics. We offer our clients on-site advice regarding issues related to the safe use of our products in each project. The Alsina Technical Office combines the expertise of its team with advanced CAD systems and proprietary software to perform this work.

3 Reference in Civil Engineering Safety One of the most important factors related to the company's expansion is the export of new construction systems based on over 40 years of proven experience in Spain. Mecanoconcept is a mechanised slab formwork system that facilitates the formwork assembly process thus saving time. Alsina is successfully exporting this work system to all the markets. Alsina is actively involved in Transportation Engineering works, construction of roads, bridges, underpasses, overpasses, mine tunnels, etc., as well as in Industrial Engineering (energy treatment plants, transformation plants, etc.). In the field of Maritime Engineering (construction of ports, dikes, dams, etc.), Alsina operates with Rúbrica as a strategic partner. At Alsina we have always considered ergonomic factors as key elements for improving the operator's specific activity, especially in the design phase of formwork systems. Therefore, in the provision of instructions and on site technical support we have prioritised safety and productivity over other interests. Alsina Comprehensive Service Alsina strives to be one of the most recognized companies in the industry due to its comprehensive service capacity. The foregoing is a result of the quality of the company s human team, the range of solutions and services that Alsina offers its clients and its business management focused on total quality.

4 ALSIPERCHA Alsina's Fall arrest system This is an individual protection system whereby installation procedures involving panels, guardrails, gallows-type safety nets, formwork risers and generally all formwork assembly activities that entail the risk of falling from heights can be carried out in an entirely safe manner. - Simple assembly and use. It does not require external assembly workers. - System designed according to the DIN EN 795 Standard and ANSI Z359.6 / CSA Z Standards - CE Certificate (DGUV - BG BAU) - Complies DIN EN:795 ANSI Z359.6 and CSA Z Applus - UPV Inverted "L", allowing 360 degree rotation, providing full freedom to work ( lb [80 kg]). It is inserted into a conical tube pre-installed on the concrete structure (column / wall). It allows the operator to work safely covering an area of approximately ft² (125 m²) ft² [6.5 m²] maximum operating range). Built-in SHOCK-ABSORBER device that reduces the forces transmitted to the column / wall in case of an accidental fall. structure weighing lb (80 kg), made of high quality steel (elastic limit 59,738-65,427 psi [42-46 kg/mm2]; breaking strength 86, ,097 psi [61-76 kg/mm 2 ]). It is employed with a retractable device that locks whenever abrupt acceleration is generated. It is designed to be moved by a crane. It includes accessories that enable adjustment to any on-site situation that may arise, thus ensuring operator safety at all times. This system is designed for column heights up to 26 ft " (8 m) and it does not require external assembly workers. 4 Alsipercha - Edition: 02/2016

5 Advantages of the Alsipercha System Preventive - Fall Factor "0" It prevents accidents: It includes a retractable device that locks whenever abrupt acceleration occurs, thus preventing an accidental fall and greatly minimising the risk of injury. Quick and Easy Assembly The use and assembly of the Alsipercha system is easy and intuitive. It can be used on site with just a few steps Productive It promotes productivity because the operator can work with confidence knowing that they are fully secured at all times. Perimeters and High Floors This is especially effective in higher risk situations such as perimeters and high floors. It is ideal for edge operations such as the installation of guardrails, risers, perimeter panels, etc. Metal Structures It adjusts to metal structures by using the metal column clamp accessory.

It enables 360 degree rotation, thus providing a safe work area of 21 ft " (6.5 m) in radius ( ft² [125 m²]). 2 - Accidental fall In case of an accidental fall, the retractable device locks and prevents the fall. The "Shock-Absorber" system acts by compressing itself and reduces impact forces on the operator and on the concrete structure. 3 - Recovering after the fall By a simple movement, the operator can return to his original position and continue working. 6 Alsipercha - Edition: 02/2016

Installation and Use of the System 1 - Planning To make it easier to work with the system and to optimise its use on site, it is

Planning should take into account the 21 ft 3 29 32" (6.5 m) maximum operating range provided by the system.

After the concrete has set, the Alsipercha system can be inserted starting at one end of the floor.

3 - Use of the System Once the operator is secured to Alsipercha, the paneling process can begin.

7 Installation and Use of the System 1 - Planning To make it easier to work with the system and to optimise its use on site, it is recommended to make a prior plan of the floor on which the formwork is to be erected. Planning should take into account the 21 ft " (6.5 m) maximum operating range provided by the system. 2 - Positioning the Conical Tube The housing tubes will be placed in those columns that are being poured. After the concrete has set, the Alsipercha system can be inserted starting at one end of the floor. The leveling accessory will be used to ensure the vertical position of the housing tube. 3 - Use of the System Once the operator is secured to Alsipercha, the paneling process can begin. It enables 360 degree rotation, thus providing a safe work area of 21 ft " (6.5 m) in radius ( ft² [125 m²]). 4 - Changing Safe Anchor Point The nearest Alsipercha can be accessed by the hook accessory in order to change the anchor point. The worker remains safe at all times. Edition: 02/ Alsipercha 7
