• This User Guide is reference
for those who will be working
with the DMP Panel system. It
contains information on how to
set up this system, and on its
correct utilization.
• The functional/technical
instructions, safety warnings
and loading data must all be
strictly observed and complied
with. Failure to comply with
these requirements may cause
accidents, injury and damage.
• The customer must ensure that
the User Guide is available to all
users and that they have been
made aware of it and can easily
access it.
• Always observe all industrial
safety regulations and other
safety rules applying to the
application and utilization of
our products in the country
and/or region in which you are
operating.
• All materials must be inspected
by the customer before use to
ensure that they are in perfect
condition. Any components
that are damaged, deformed,
or weakened due to wear,
corrosion or fatigue, must not
be used.
• DMP Formwork panels,
products and systems must be
set up in the correct manner to
ensure all loads are transferred
as per intended use.
• The stability of all components
and assemblies must be
ensured during all phases of the
construction work.
• Provide safe access for those
using the formwork.
• Do not exceed the permitted
fresh-concrete pressures.
Excessively high pouring rates
lead to formwork overload,
cause greater deflection and
risk causing breakage.
• Do not strike the formwork
until the concrete has reached
sufficient strength and have
been given the order for the
formwork to be struck.
• When stripping the gang-form,
never use the crane to break
concrete cohesion. Use suitable
tools such as timber wedges or
a special pry-bar.
• When striking the formwork,
do not endanger the stability
of any part of the structure, or
of any scaffolding, platforms or
formwork that is still in place.
• Observe all regulations applying
to the handling of formwork and
scaffolding.
• Remove any loose parts or
secure them in place.
• All components must be
stored safely.

Wall Formwork
Permitted pressure of the fresh concrete: 80kN/m2
• The DMP Panel System is the
ideal framed formwork for
large-area forming using the
crane.
• The high load-bearing capacity
and long lifespan of the DMP
Panel make it highly economical
for all wall-forming tasks.
• The panels can be joined
together at any point around the
frame, quickly and safely, using
the DMP Uni Formwork clamp
or the Adjustable clamp.
• The DMP panels have such
rigidity, you only need 2
form-ties per 2.70 m of panel
height. Any fitting-gaps left
between the panels are very
easy to close. The system
has numerous options for the
optimum length adjustment in
each case.
• DMP Panel System provides
solutions for corners, stop-end
column formwork and wall
junctions.
• Comprehensive range of panel
sizes available.
• Bespoke sizes can also be
manufactured to customer
specifications.

Clean concrete surfaces with the thermoplastic sheet
The sheet consists of a combination of a traditional
plywood core and innovative thermoplastic coating.
This combination of materials ensures high numbers
of repeat uses, with superb concrete results every
time.
• High quality concrete finish.
• Less touching-up needed.
• Less cleaning work - the thermoplastic sheet
can also be cleaned using a high-pressure spray
cleaner.
• ●No breaking away of plywood chips, and less water
is absorbed through nail-holes.
• Screwed-on from the rear, so no screw marks are
visible.

conical form-tie sleeves.
Tie-rods 20.0mm may also be used (up to 80 kN/ m2).
Only 2 form-ties are needed for every 2.70 m of
panel height.

The DMP panel system also allows for simple timber
make ups. The universal waling and wedge clamp
make it simple to join the panels to squared timbers
and ply sheets.
With universal adjustable clampSelf-aligning inter-panel connections and make up
The multifunction clamp jaw profile gives a
continuous clamping pressure on the panel profile;
meaning no additional bracing is required when
stacking panels up to 4m.
Joining the panels using the universal adjustable
clamp provides additional bracing of the gang-form
(as the clamp bears directly onto the profile).

DMP universal waling
When used with DMP panel system
Permitted moment (for vertical stacking of panels): 5.0
kNm.
Due to the max. tensile load of 14 kN in the waling
profile, even stiffer components such as multi-purpose
walings Ws10 Uni Waling are also subject to: Permitted
moment 5.0 kNm.
With closures, the universal walings bring the gang-
forms firmly into alignment and transfer the form-tie
forces to the framed panels. Using additional universal
walings gives gangforms better rigidity, especially in
higher vertically stacked configurations. This makes
it possible to pick up and set down large gang-forms
by crane without any problems. The additional universal
walings are also useful for transferring the loads from
platforms.
Note: Instead of the universal waling, it is also possible to
use a Multi-purpose waling.

Shaft formwork with Stripping corner
The DMP stripping corner is
manufactured specifically for use
with shaft formwork. With the
DMP stripping corner, the entire
DMP formwork unit is detached
from the wall, in one piece, and
repositioned with the aid of a
DMP lifting hook and a
four-part lifting tackle.
Vertically stacking the Stripping corner:• Pull out the coupling bolt (A).
• Manoeuvre the Stripping corner (B) into place so that it is flush with
the one below it.
• Push the coupling bolt (A) back in.
• Bolt the Stripping corners together with 2 hex- agonal bolts M16x45 (C).
Mounting the DMP stripping spindle:• ●Place the spindle (A) on the push-rod (C).
• ●Position the nut (D) between the holes in the push-rod and bolt in
place with the fastening clamp (B).
Operating the spindle:• ●Stripping = Turn the nut anti-clockwise.
• ●Erecting = Turn the nut clockwise.
In order to obtain the full available stripping- play, make sure that the DMP universal formwork clamp are mounted at staggered heights (i.e. not opposite one another).

can be extended to 4.05 m apart.
The values given here apply up to a height of 8 m
above the surrounding ground. For heights of more

IMPORTANT NOTE: The formwork elements must be held stable in every phase of the construction work! Please observe all applicable safety regulations.
!
Connection in the waling profile
NOTE: Every gang-form must be supported by
at least 2 panel struts.
Example: Where the formwork height is 7.20 m,
the following are needed for every 5.40 m wide
gang-form:
• 2 Panel struts 340
• 4 Panel struts 540
Follow the manufacturer’s applicable
fitting instructions.
Required load-bearing capacity of alternative dowels: min. 13.5 kNPanel struts, Europrop
20 550 and Adjustable plumbing struts
Secure the elements against wind loads, and make it
easier to plumb and align the formwork.

The DMP brackets 90 and/or DMP GF platforms
enable you to assemble pouring platforms that can
easily be mounted by hand.
Preconditions for use:Only fix the pouring platform onto formwork
constructions that are sufficiently stable to transfer
the expected loads.
Shore the formwork in a windproof manner when
erecting it and when it is temporarily placed in the
standing position.
Ensure that the formwork gang has sufficient stiffness.
Observe all applicable safety regulations.
