Stones, walls, and paving systems with high aesthetic value make landscaping distinctive for use in house and garden or in modern urban and commercial construction alike. Many building material manufacturers are already offering a high-quality and diverse range of concrete blocks. Formwork systems afford an interesting alternative for the production of L-bricks.
Soriba manufactures concrete stairs - optimized in terms of time, cost and CO2
Instead of stationary stair formwork, the French building materials manufacturer Soriba is relying for the first time on a rationalized and automated staircase production in a circulation-based manufacturing process. Movable side rails makes this possible despite the high diversity of stair variants. A new type of rotating-turning operation also brings considerable savings in steel and concrete consumption. The entire manufacturing process is thus optimized in terms of time, costs and CO2.
Planchers Fabre, a subsidiary of the Rector Lesage Group, produces a wide range of beam and wall elements for the construction industry. In Pibrac in the southwest of France near Toulouse, the company has now expanded its industrial prefabrication for higher plant production capacities due to increasing demand.
Automatic, fully hydraulic, efficient: Hungarian Limelog Group expands stationary production of precast concrete parts
Since 2009, the Hungarian Limelog Group has specialised in the transport of high-quality building materials, grain and oversized machines and precast concrete parts inside and outside of Hungary. Since 2011, the company has also been extremely successful in producing reinforced concrete columns and beams. With KOMBISTEP stair formwork and high-performance tilting tables from Vollert's special portfolio, the company is now expanding its stationary precast concrete production.
Industrial pre-production of TERIVA floor beams and slabs in Poland
The Polish building materials manufacturer Uciechowski will in future be producing floor beams and slabs on an industrial scale using the TERIVA building system. Whereas manufacturing was previously purely stationary, it is now based on the latest technology of the concrete plant specialist Vollert. 50 shuttering pallets are transported in the circulation system, known up to now only in modern precast concrete plants.
