Some of SGB ´ s advanced products which once put together , will create a complete solution for contractors include :
• TOPEC ® - Modular aluminum panel system for slab decking ( first class plywood included with an option of plastic form face ), which makes the shuttering and stripping of slabs much faster and demonstrably more economical than conventional slab formwork systems . This is because the TOPEC system has just two basic parts – panels and props , with a drop head as an optional extra . TOPEC panels up to 1.8 x 1.8 m can be put up and taken down by two people working on the ground ‘ hook it on , push it up and prop it .’ Stripping is carried out with the reverse procedure .
• MANTO ® - Modular hot dip galvanized heavy duty steel frame panel system which is the No . 1 choice shuttering large wall and surfaces ( first class plywood included with an option of plastic form face ). Quality , functionality and flexibility are the decisive factors , making it one of the most popular formwork systems in industrial and house construction projects . Its 14cm frame thickness , interior stiffening ribs and hot-dip galvanizing give MANTO its extra robustness , enabling it to withstand a concrete pressure of 80KN / m ² even in its height-extended state .
