CAST IN SITU

Cellular concrete is an excellent solution even for operations of on-site casting, indeed it is used more and more as a valid construction material.
This technology allows for building vertical structures with high thermal insulation, using insulating materials inserted into the formwork for low cost construction work. For carrying out on site casting other than using the ISOCEM S/B foaming agent for cellular concrete, it is possible to use ISOCEM S/X.

CAST IN SITU: VERTICAL STRUCTURES IN CELLULAR CONCRETE

This construction system consists in preparing vertical formwork of any type, for all or part of the construction to be erected, including internal partitions.

Of particular advantage on the other hand is the use of insulating panels for moulds, chosen from: Wood fibre or of extruded polystyrene, or polyurethane, and leaving the insulating panels in place for constructing buildings with extremely high thermal insulation values.

The panels should be positioned according to need and size – they may be cut to measure – and secured with normal fittings for wooden formwork.
In the mould thus produced, the double welded mesh which sustains the electrical and hydraulic plant is placed. All technical installations must be in place before the casting.

The vertical structures in cellular concrete can be made with the use of the IBS-08 cellular concrete plant and well as the Fluocem plant.
The most usable densities for making vertical structures in cellular concrete cast on site are:

DENSITY	CONCRETE	SAND	WATER	FOAM
1000 kg/m3	350 kg	590 kg	140 litres	490 litres
1200 kg/m3	400 kg	750 kg	160 litres	380 litres
1400 kg/m3	400 kg	900 kg	168 litres	310 litres
1600 kg/m3	400 kg	1100 kg	170 litres	240 litres
