• 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.

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).

calculated as required by the higher wind loads.

Plumbing accessories

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.

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.
