Alisply™ components and accessories illustrated herein have been designed with safety and performance in mind to help achieve a safe and productive forming operation. It is recommended that all construction personnel thoroughly familiarize themselves and comply with the applicable industry standards and safe practices established by the American Concrete Institute, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Scaffold, Shoring and Forming Institute.

All Alisply components and accessories must be inspected regularly for damage or excessive wear. Equipment found to be in these conditions must be replaced immediately and not reused.

Panels and Fillers

Alisply™, a modular metric system, consists of a galvanized steel frame and a phenolic resin coated 15 mm (5/8") plywood face. The plywood face is recessed into the steel frame and silicone caulk joint filler around the perimeter protects the face from moisture and edge damage. Panels and fillers are designed based on a maximum allowable concrete pressure of 1250 psf. Note: 1140 psf allowable when 200x300 panel is used.

The Alisply system is available in widths from 25 to 200 cm, and heights of 1 and 3 meters. A 100 x 200 cm panel is also available, but without the filler heights. Crossmembers are spaced at approximately 25 cm (10 inches) on centers with four tie locations per panel and filler. Alisply forms can be used horizontally or vertically, even within the same gang.

The siderail of the Alisply panels and fillers are uniquely designed to except the Alisply connecting clamps. The gang size determines the number of clamps required.

Connecting Clamps

Alisply™ clamps connect panels and fillers, and eliminate the need for sockets wrenches or any other specials tools typically required for other forming systems.

 Connecting Clamp & Attachment 

Connecting Clamp & Attachment

The number of clamps will depend on the size of the gang. Typically, three clamps are required for a vertical 300 cm panel or filler. Additional clamps are required at horizontal joints due to the forces transferred by the weight and size of the gang.

Typical Connecting Clamp Configuration for Vertical Joints

Caution: To avoid disengagement from the panel, all clamp handles must be pointed in the down position at all horizontal joints.

Adjustable Clamps

The Adjustable Clamp connects wood fillers up to 25 cm (10") wide. The number of clamps required depend on the size of the gang. Typically, four Adjustable Clamps are required for a vertical 300 cm panel or filler.
The threaded end of the Adjustable Clamp only requires a standard wing nut for final adjustment.

 No.                   Description

Bay Corners

Inside Bay Corners opposite Outside Hinge Corners form a 135° angle corner. The Inside Bay Corner has a 20 cm x 20 cm (approximately 7-7/8" x 7-7/8") face dimension, and are available in 1 m, 2 m and 3 m heights. Bay Corners can be used horizontally or vertically to form 135° corners or to form wall haunches and "Y" Walls.

Inside Flex Corner

Inside Flex Corner

This 30cm x 30cm flexible inside corner for the Alisply forming system helps alleviate stripping issues associated with the standard rigid inside corners for Alisply.

It has the ability to flex up to 3 degrees after the attached pins are placed in the locked position. These pins can be unlocked but stay with the form to eliminated lost pieces. The corner comes in the two standard heights of 1 meter and 3 meters.

Hinged Corners

The Inside Hinged Corner may be used to form inside corners from 90° down to 295°. They are 30 cm x 30 cm (approximately 11-13/16" x 11-13/16") and are available in 1 m and 3 m heights. The Outside Hinged Corner forms outside corners from 200° down to 29°. The Outside Hinge has a dimension of 10.35 cm x 10.35 cm (4" x 4"), and are available in 1 m and 3 m heights.

Hinged Corners
Caution
: Due to the inherent flexibility of hinges, corner forms must be braced and blocked as required.

Three-Piece Stripping Corner

Three-Piece Stripping Corners for Alisply™ are used when gangs are confined between pilasters, intersecting walls or core walls.

Three-Piece Stripping Corner

The 30 cm x 30 cm (11-13/16" x 11-13/16") Stripping Corner consist of three elements: the 10½" x 10½" corner element, and two 15/16" filler elements. The fillers are attached to the corner element with 5/8" Fit-Up Bolts and nuts.

The filler elements have 11/16" x 3" slots at the same elevations where there are 5/8" nuts welded to the inside of the corner element that allow the inside corner element to slide inward during the form stripping sequence.

In the set position 5/8" x 2" bolts and nuts must be bolted at the hole at each end and at 30 cm (12") centers. In the set position, the Three-Piece Stripping Corner is equivalent to a standard 30 cm x 30 cm rigid corner.

TO STRIP THE THREE-PIECE STRIPPING CORNER:
Remove all Fit-Up Bolts except the Fit-Up Bolts at the location where the filler element has the slotted hole and at the corner element that has the welded nut.

Back off the remaining Fit-Up Bolts until the point of the bolt is flush with the welded nut in the corner element.

Retract the gangform inward with turnbuckles or ratchets until stripping clearance is about 2" between the poured wall and form.
Caution: During the stripping procedure, back the tie nuts about 2" toward the end of the tie and do not remove the ties until the crane is hooked to the gang and the gang is free from the poured wall.

Transition Filler

The all-steel 8" Transition Filler provides a convenient connection between Alisply™ to Steel-Ply®, Versiform®, and the Max-A-Form® concrete forming systems. The most common use of the Transition Filler is for forming details, such as corners and pilasters.

One side rail of the Transition Filler is clamped to an Alisply panel or filler and the other side rail is either wedged bolted or bolted to the adjacent panel. A vertical row of flat ties is required at the connection between the Transition Filler and Steel-Ply.

Walkway Bracket

The Alisply Walkway Bracket is manufactured with a guardrail post. The guardrail post has two "L" brackets with nail holes welded to it for attachment of lumber guardrails. At the bottom of the post is a sliding "L" bracket with nail holes to attach a toeboard. The Walkway Bracket is attached to the forms at one of the accessory holes on vertical crossmembers with the attached pin. If the crossmembers are running in the horizontal direction, the Walkway Connector is bolted to the crossmember and the Walkway Bracket is attached to the Walkway Connector. The capacity of the Walkway Bracket is 400 lbs. at a 4:1 safety factor (5 ft. maximum spacing).

Lift Bracket

The Alisply Lift Bracket is attached by lifting the release handle as shown, sliding the Lift Bracket onto the form and, with a downward motion of the lever, securing the Lifting Bracket to the panel. The Lift Bracket can be attached anywhere along the endrails or siderails.

The safe load rating of the Alisply Lift Bracket is 2200 lbs at a 5:1 safety factor. The number of Lift Brackets required shall be determined by the contractor based upon the weight of the gang to be lifted. The rigging must be designed by the contractor to assure that any one Gang Lifting Bracket is not overloaded. Load equalizer beams are recommended for all but simple two point lifts.

A minimum of two lift lines must be used to control movement of the gang form. Do not allow personnel on or directly under any gang form while it is being moved or suspended in air.

Walers

Alisply™ is designed as a walerless forming system, but there are forming situations were a waler would be required or may be added as an option:


1. If a project is to be poured in multiple lifts, a trailing waler could be added to the gang for aligning purposes.

Typical Trailing Waler Application for Walls with Multiple Lifts

2. If Alisply is used with the Sky-Lift system, 5" Versiform® Walers must be added to the gang.

Typical Waler Attachment with Sky-Lift System

3. Gang heights exceeding 16 feet may require walers. Contact Masons Technical Service for application information.

A Waler Connector with plate and wing nut is required to attach the Versiform Waler to Alisply.
