1 RMD Australia Rapid Ply

2 Product Overview Rapid Ply is suitable for most applications, including: foundations; straight and circular walls and columns. Faster RMD Australia s Rapid Ply is a versatile, cost effective system of modular formwork panels, providing a fast solution for concrete walls and slabs. Easier The assembly and disassembly of Rapid Ply is very quick and easy and only requires two workers, saving time and labour. The heaviest panel of 1.44m2 weighs only 38.5kg, consequently Rapid Ply can be used without requiring a crane to form in-situ concrete structures Safer Rapid Ply panels feature high tensile steel frames produced to exacting specifications, therefore the frames are more rigid and less prone to damage Rapid Ply has either a high quality ply face or composite face, which lasts longer, provides a better finish and is easier to clean 1

3 Features & Benefits RMD's Rapid Ply is a versatile system of modular formwork panels providing a cost effective solution for concrete walls and slabs. High Tensile Steel Frames Rapid Ply panels are made from high tensile steel frames which makes the panels more rigid, more robust and up to 5kg/m2 lighter than competitor panels. Erection and Striking is Fast The erection and striking of Rapid Ply is fast and straight forward and only needs a team of two; saving time and money Ply or Composite Finish The 12mm thick plywood with phenolic overlay on the face provides extra long life and a good quality finish. Composite panels are also available, which have longer life and better quality finish Wedges Easily Tie s s are attached together using dual-purpose wedges, which improve erection times A Large Range of s A wide range of panel sizes are available from 0.6m x 0.6m to 2.4m x 0.6m, enabling the assembly of virtually any combination of panels for a large range of layouts and pour heights to suit structures of various sizes and shapes Large Range of Accessories Rapid Ply s comprehensive range of accessories enable it to be used in an extensive range of construction projects. 2
