MINI MKII SOLDIERS
High tensile rolled steel profile
Lightweight section at 8.4 kg/m
Nailing holes in top flange
Length: 1.8 m
10 kNm bending capacity
Weight: 15 kg
The MINI MKII SOLDIER is suitable as a

primary beam for small-to-medium wall
or base pours, a stop-end beam for
general wall formwork pours, or as a
lightweight support beam.
The heavy duty hot-dip galvanised finish
to the beam offers a superior robust steel
coating giving maximum longevity.
An added feature of the beam is the
nailing holes in the top flange, giving the
opportunity to fix directly to plywood or
timber. The beam can also be used
inverted, where the open flange allows
DU-AL beams to be clamped securely.

Aluminium walings
T150 Aluminium walings

The use of aluminium over timber has

great advantages. Aluminium is lighter
and stronger than timber and therefore
allows larger assemblies of formwork,
which in turn reduces the labour cost of
fixing and erecting.

WALL FORMWORK CRANE-HANDLED
LOGIK 60
Description
The LOGIK 60 panel system for crane

handling produces 60 kN/m2 concrete
pressure resistance from a robust panel.
The panel is surface-finished with a robust
hot-dip galvanising to give longevity and
lower maintenance, resulting in reduced
costs. Manufactured to tight tolerances,
panels are clamped rigidly together with
a unique Alignment, Locking and Levelling
ALL Clamp with a single hammer blow.
This action is so secure that form
assemblies can then be crane-handled
without additional structural members. A
large number of re-uses are then feasible
without the need for time-consuming
stripping down.
20
The panels feature a special rolled steel

profile 140 mm in depth that combines
with high quality 18 mm plywood. This is
supported at 300 mm centres and edgesealed in polyurethane. Multiple tie holes
allow for tie rods/plates, all of which are
positioned for maximum panel stiffness
and strength.
Flexibility
The LOGIK 60 system features a full

range of sizes that offer the flexibility to
cope with a wide variety of situations
encountered.
Single sided forms
SGB LOGIK 60 panels can also be used

to form single-sided wall forms in
conjunction with SGB MULTIFORM
components in an A-Frame configuration.
Column forms
Standard panel forms can be employed

for highly rigid, high-quality finishes in
column forms with a wide variety of
different column size options. Avoids the
need for time-consuming timber and
waling assemblies, by utilising the
strength of the novel column coupler
component.
Circular (polygonal) forms
Standard LOGIK panels can be used to

create impressive circular (polygonal)
structures in conjunction with the use of
their versatile panel clamps and tie plates.
Robust large area formwork panels with

minimal clamping requirements

LOGIK 50
Description
kN/m2
LOGIK 50 is a 50
strength,
versatile panel system with unit weights of
approximately 35 kg/m2. This makes it
suitable for projects requiring manhandling capability where crane access is
restricted or impractical.
Simple in use, but smart in design
concept, the panels are secured in a
similar way to the crane-handled version.
A lightweight clamp is pre-set and
clamped single-handed in one simple
action.
It can be attached at any number of
horizontal or vertical positions.
Once fastened, a tight connection is
maintained to avoid grout loss. The holes
are positioned at the strongest part of the
panel.
24
Flexibility
Column forms
The component solutions are fast, flexible

and offer a good standard of finish with
minimal grout loss, avoiding the need to
import timber elements requiring special
skills.
Standard panel forms can be employed

for highly rigid, high-quality finishes in
column forms with a need for timeconsuming timber and waling assemblies,
by utilising the strength of the novel
column coupler component.
Single sided forms
SGB LOGIK 50 panels can also be used

to form single-sided wall forms in
conjunction with SGB MULTIFORM
components in an A-Frame configuration.
Circular (polygonal) forms
Standard LOGIK panels can be used to

create impressive circular structures in

WALL FORMWORK CIRCULAR
LOGIK 360
LOGIK 360 is the first plywood-faced
truly circular panel formwork system. The
patented design of LOGIK 360
demonstrates SGB Formworks innovative
approach to circular formwork.
LOGIK 360 has very few components,
cutting the chances of site losses to an
absolute minimum. A LOGIK 360 wall is
constructed with a 1.24 m Inner Panel, a
1.25 m Outer Panel, LOGIK 60 Ties and
Tie Washers, and LOGIK 60 Adjustable
Clamps.
The new design has eliminated the
hundreds of bolts, turnbuckles, beams,
walers and multiple components
commonly used on older systems.
LOGIK 360
Truly circular panel formwork system
Fast and simple setting procedure.
Fully assembled panels.
Lightweight slim profile
Compatible with LOGIK 60
28
Crane handling and transport are also

much easier with LOGIK 360, because of
the low unit weight of approximately
58 kg/m2, combined with the slim profile
of the panel, measuring just 140 mm
deep.
The standard SGB Formwork panels can
be used for circular walls down to 4 m
minimum radius. Further panels are
available to cope with smaller radii, down
to 2.5 m minimum radius.
LOGIK 360 is also fully compatible with
the LOGIK 60 panels, making transitions
from straight walls to circular walls simple
and easy.

The System
Adjustment clamp details
MULTIFORM Circular Formwork System is

suitable for double-sided curved walls
with a minimum outer radius of 5 m.
1) The adjustable clamp slides onto the

MF1 Waler and is bolted onto the
MF3 beam.
It offers easy setting and adjustment of

curvature with wide spacing of ties @
1.25 m (1.88 m2/tie).
2) Adjustment is then made by turning the

screw thread of the adjustable clamp.
Concrete pressures of up to 60
can be accommodated.
kN/m2
Minimum adjustment infill solutions, either

external or internal, give maximum
versatility to all stock.
General Guidelines
Plan detail
Infill details
1) Simple infill details allow gaps to be

compensated for with a minimum of
adjustment.
2) This means standard size panels can
be fully utilised for all radii and wall
thicknesses.

Sliding foot feature
Compatible with all formwork types
MULTIFORM A-Frames are used in the

construction of single-sided walls when
tieing through the formwork is not
possible.
A-Frames are used for the construction of
concrete walls cast against the face of
existing walls in basement construction or
similar.
MULTIFORM A-Frames are available in
2 m, 3 m, and 5 m modular sizes, fully
assembled for immediate use on site.
They are compatible with all LOGIK panel
formwork as well as traditional soldier
and beam formwork.
The frames are made up largely of bolted
connections, making repair and
maintenance simple and easy.
Accessories for the A-Frames such as
walkway brackets are fully compatible
with LOGIK panel formwork, making
good cross-utilisation of products.
The A-Frames contain a Sliding foot
feature to enable the wall to be fully
tightened to the wall kicker.
The 2 m Mini A-Frame is ideal for the
construction of deep base pours where tie
deformation prevents the use of doublesided concrete pours. The modular units
allow simple, fast, reliable installation. The
Mini A-Frame contains a unique framesetting feature, allowing the units to be
anchored and accurately aligned in just
two actions.

lowering unit. However, this component
also has the flexibility to be used on its
own for other applications that do not
require the rigidity of the trolley solution.
By simply attaching the GASS Trolley Unit

to the corners of a bay with fast Wedge
Couplers, GASS can be a mobile system
ideal for Rolling or Flying Tables.
GASS Lifting and Lowering Trolley

CUPLOK SUPPORT
SGB CUPLOK was the first ever

galvanised, multi-purpose scaffold system
in the UK. It is a well proven heavy duty
support system which is relatively light
and easy to assemble and suitable for
falsework support or access, building and
civil engineering projects.
SGBs experience of using CUPLOK on
projects all over the world enables us to
offer you absolute confidence when using
this system.
The principal feature of CUPLOK is the
unique node point - locking up to four
horizontals in one single action without
the use of nuts, bolts or wedges. The
locking device is formed by a fixed lower
cup, which is welded to the vertical at
0.5 m intervals, and a sliding upper cup.
The forged blade ends of the horizontals
are located in the lower cup. The upper
cup is moved down and rotated by
hammer blows to give a positive and rigid
connection.
Hot-dipped galvanising is the finest
practical coating that can be applied to a
scaffold system, providing a long working
life and better handling to the user as well
as improved appearance and durability.
48
Soffit support
Spigotless Verticals
The range of CUPLOK equipment gives

the system the capability to tackle virtually
any soffit support application with the
most cost-effective approach. We can
provide a large number of grid variations
to fit steel, aluminium or timber joists.
These allow the insertion of jacks with

various head components to meet the
requirements of different support
applications, such as aluminium beam
support or decking systems.
Complimenting CUPLOK is our DU-AL

Aluminium Beam System. DU-AL s high
strength and low weight result in
increased productivity.
The DU-AL system comprises a selection
of 3 beams in a variety of lengths. In each
case the beams are supported in
Forkheads and fastened by means of a
quick fixing clamp.
Benefits
The key advantages of CUPLOK over

traditional scaffolding are:
74 kN leg load
Unique node point: 4 connections in one
Systemised quick erection bracing
20% lighter than traditional scaffolding

Secondary beams
The versatile MKII SOLDIER and DU-AL

aluminium beams combine to make a
wide-ranging system of primary and
secondary beam support. The MKII
SOLDIER and DU-AL combinations have a
full range of accessories to clamp the
components quickly and safely.

When the next anchor point has been
fixed, the whole unit is lifted up, giving a
safe area for reinforcement to be fixed.
The anchor point consists of a recoverable
anchor cone, with a nailing disc to assist
casting the cone into the wall pour.
The MULTIFORM Climbing Brackets come
with a range of trailing platforms for
access to the cast face for making good
and recovering anchor cones.
The internal platform beams can be
climbed either using the pivoting foot, or
an internal shoe bolted onto the wall. If
the pivoting foot is used, a special steel
mould is available for casting the correct
shaped bearing port into the wall.

CLIMBING FORMWORK SELF-CLIMBING
HIGHRISER
Highriser
Self-climbing formwork
Independent of crane
Steel-faced or ply-faced formwork
Jumpform or Climbform
HIGHRISER is a self-climbing formwork

system for the construction of high-rise
concrete cores or bridge piers. The system
is able to operate totally independently of
a crane, after an initial set-up, and
hydraulically climb up the structure.
The system is available in either
Jumpform or Climbform.
The Jumpform system climbs within a
confined core with a steel table
cantilevering out over the external walls to
support the external shutters and platform.
The Climbform system climbs up the
external face of the wall only.
The units are jacked up in a rack system
by a series of interconnecting hydraulic
jacks. The bearing feet of the frames are
always maintained at a low enough
distance from the pour level, such that
concrete curing time is not a critical issue.
The basic climbing units can be used with
either steel-faced forms or ply-faced forms
to suit the project.
The design is versatile enough to cope
with any shape of structure, and changes
in plan dimensions can also be designed
into the frame.

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION PARAPET SUPPORT

The MULTIFORM Bridge Parapet Bracket
is a cantilever formwork system. It is used
to facilitate the construction of concrete
edge projections and parapets of
composite steel girder and pre-cast
concrete bridge decks.
The system utilises much less equipment
than a traditional under-slung
arrangement and aims to maximize the
following benefits:
speed of erection and striking

operative safety
versatility for all parapets
The system allows for all the work to be

done by operatives on the concrete deck.
The versatile MULTIFORM beam allows for
bolt-on options to be used to deal with
any size of parapet arrangement.
System outline
This innovative parapet system really has

been designed with the user in mind.
The attention to detail removes the need
for awkward timber packers, and allows
the user to simply set the positioning
jacks.
The large handled tapered She Bolt allows
for simple and easy removal from the set
concrete. The Multiform C-hook also
completes the systemised approach,
enabling large units to be economically
crane lifted for erection and striking.
Web Support
SGBs Web Support can also be used to

provide an economical method of
supporting in-situ bridge decks through
pre-loaded consumable polyester beam
hangers.

The strong, versatile MKII SOLDIERS make
an ideal solution for suspending bridge
falsework over roads, railway lines and
waterways.
The underslung solution can be used for
the construction of the full width of a
bridge deck in a single pour.
The MKII SOLDIER has also been used on
numerous projects as an overslung frame.
This solution gives an economical frame
for repairing bridge parapets or casting
newly formed parapets after the central
deck section has been poured.
The versatile MKII SOLDIER overslung
frame can be a project-specific design,
using standard soldier components, to
make a strong, stable frame for the
construction of any size of parapet.

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION BRIDGE DECK SUPPORT
CUPLOK SUPPORT
74 kN leg load
Unique node point: 4 connections in one
Systemised quick-erection bracing
20% lighter than traditional scaffolding
The design of CUPLOK is ideal for bridge

support work since its strength and
versatility can produce great savings in
erection and supervision times on site. The
fastening of four components at once, on
one level, makes CUPLOK a highly
economical support medium.
Systemised bracing and the rocking
(sloping) components cater for falls in
both directions. SGB have a wide variety
of ledger sizes (from 0.6 m to 2.5 m) to
produce the most economical grid layout
for any thickness of slab.
The 74 kN leg loading capacity will
reduce the number of vertical or
horizontal supports required, and improve
productivity.
CUPLOK has a long history of successful
support to motorway and trunk road
bridges across the world.

GASS is made up from a unique Outer
Leg with 8 different locations for
connecting the bracing frames.
The strong Inner Leg, with a massive
1300 mm of adjustment, gives the system
superior flexibility in overcoming different
ground terrains and obstacles.
The Ledger Frames are locked into the
outer legs by a fast and simple-to-use
wedge action. The stiff Ledger Frames
eliminate the need for any further bracing
members, making GASS one of the fastest
shoring systems to assemble.
70
DIN approved
GASS has been officially checked and

approved for load rating by the
Government Structures Office in Germany
to code DIN 4421, which closely
resembles the forthcoming British

The MKII SOLDIER, when used as a

compression member, has different
loading characteristics about its two main
axes of inertia due to its asymmetric
shape. The arrangement of the shore
when erected may also dictate the method
of bracing to obtain the required capacity.
Special details have been developed for
use in facade-retention applications for
connecting the frame to the facade.
Heavy leg loads of up to 500 kN can be
supported by the Multiway Connector by
doubling up the vertical Soldier.
A special wedge jack component is
available if the structure has to be struck

ACCESS AND EDGE PROTECTION EDGE PROTECTION
EXTRAGUARD SYSTEM
Triple wire rigid-mesh edge protection
Highly durable galvanised and powdercoated finish
Fast and simple installation
Patented range of fixing components
SGB EXTRAGUARD is systemised metal

panel edge protection offering a higher
standard of safety to reduce the risk of
falls from height. EXTRAGUARD is a
highly visible full-mesh panel with a
galvanised and powder-coated finish.
EXTRAGUARD comprises a combination
of patented clamping devices, posts and
full-mesh panels with a unique triple wire
construction. This gives the mesh an
unrivalled rigidity and also protects the
edges of the mesh from damage.
New Safety Standard
The new prEN 13374 Temporary Edge

Protection Systems is the very first
British/European Standard to be written
solely for edge protection. The new
requirements fundamentally change the
approach to edge protection. In
particular, the deflection requirements
apply to the whole mesh panel area, not
just to the top rail. The rigid triple wire
EXTRAGUARD mesh panel fully meets
these requirements.
