GEOPANEL STAR

Modular reusable plastic formwork. The universal formwork for columns

GEOPANEL STAR is a modular shuttering panel made of high impact resistant ABS plastic. It is designed for forming reinforced concrete columns, pile caps and walls. The panels are engineered to interconnect orthogonally in different positions, creating a ‘star’ shaped formwork of adjustable size.

The GEOPANEL STAR panels are interconnected using the standard GEOPLAST red locking pins, and are equipped with holes to house tie rods. The GEOPANEL STAR elements are compatible with the standard GEOPANEL wall forming panels.

Manufacturers claim of up to 100 reuses means they are easily the smart option against steel, timber, or cardboard. Lightweight and modular means they can be erected by one person and with no crane time required.

GEOPANEL's smooth surface facilitates easy stripping and a provides a smooth clean concrete finish with a minimum of imperfections.

Advantages:

  • Light: Weighing max 10 kg, GEOPANEL STAR can be handled quickly on site without having to use cranes or other mechanical lifting devices.
  • Fast: Light and easy to assemble, it can be installed and handled by a single person.
  • Modular: All the elements are 600 mm long. The elements needed for the pour are assembled and used as required.
  • Water resistant: Ideal for marine solutions.
  • Versatile: Combine panels to produce 105 different square and rectangular column sizes.
  • Reusable: GEOPANEL STAR is cost effective as it can be used more than 100 times with an appropriate cleaning and use.
  • Dismantling: Concrete does not stick to plastic so dismantling is extremely easy.
  • Storage: GEOPANEL STAR can be safely and conveniently stored even in a damp and wet environment.
