Maximum spacing 1.20 m c/c horizontally and vertically 900mm c/c in shutter panels) at
waling positions.

 Place the other side shutter panel and check the edges with plumb, then place other
shutter panels continuously.

 Extend the tie rods and fix the same with anchor plate & wing nut.

 Place alignment props/supporting bracket with necessary assembly at interval of 1200mm

c/c max and wherever joining are available between panels.

 Join the shutter panels together by using joint plate (i.e. for standard panels; for panels of
non-standard size, clamp arrangement with pins to be provided without fail.

 Fix timber spacers (for maintaining the wall thickness) at

beam/Timber sections locations on the top between the shutter panels.

 Adjust the shutter verticality by using alignment struts/plumb bobs

 Check the straight line of the both shutters with the help of line thread.

at 350 mm from the top of concrete level.

Removal of formwork:

 First remove wing nut, anchor plates, and tie rod, in all the panels

 Remove Joint plates/waling extn. & connecting pins.

 Remove shutters (each separately) with the help of crane, Prop (alignment strut) should
be removed only at the time of lifting the panel

 In case of shutter being used for subsequent lifts the alignment struts, supporting brackets
need not be removed.

 In case of subsequent lifts remove climbing brackets, suspended platforms handrail post,
accessories.

 Clean and shift shutter panels (with alignment props/supporting brackets) to next
Lift/length.

panels of non-standard size with clamp arrangement, with pins.
 Insert the Tie rods (up to other side wall surface) covered by PVC pipe at the required
locations in shutter panels
 Place other side shutter panel and check the edges with plumb, then place other
 Shutter panels continuously.
 Fix steel Whalers with shutter panels using flange claw assembly at every stage.
 Join the shutter panels together by using Std. Splice plate (i.e. for standard panels when
