EFCO's RAPID CAST: Lightweight, High-Capacity Concrete Formwork System

Innovative Solutions

Strong, Efficient & Safe

With its lightweight frame construction and durable composite facing, EFCO’s RAPID CAST system is ideal for various concrete forming applications. The largest panel weighs just 5.1 psf and can support pour pressures of 1500 psf for liquid head placements up to 10 feet high. RAPID CAST is suitable for both handset and ganged wall applications. Clamped connections provide rapid assembly and alignment—perfect for realizing the lowest in-place concrete cost.

Durable, Adaptable & Cost-Effective

Imperial panel sizes make for easy field layout.

Standard panel sizes: 12″, 18″, 24″ and 36″ wide x 4′, 6′ and 9′ tall.
MultiPanel sizes: 36″ wide x 4′, 6′ and 9′ tall
Panel Thickness: 4-1/4″(the same as 2 x 4 + 3/4″ plywood)

MultiPanel

The RAPID CAST MultiPanel accommodates a variety of column and wall sizes, providing versatility and negating the need for fillers or custom solutions for a wide range of projects.

Repairable Frame

Being assembled rather than welded, every component of the RAPID CAST frame can be repaired should site damage occur, minimizing formwork costs. All components are corrosion-resistant and can be stored outdoors.

Alloy Corners

Alloy corners provide precise geometry and a reinforced connection point for panels in two directions when bolted with 3/4″Ø bolts. The corner connection reduces the need for walers during standup and handling of panels.

Brace Clamps

The RAPID CAST Clamp Brace Shoe enhances efficiency by combining a panel clamp and brace connection point at the panel joint where bracing is most effective.

Taper Ties

A 5/8″ Threadbar Tie, with a durable and lightweight over-molded taper, allows for fast installation and stripping and comes in three lengths.

Inside Corners

The RAPID CAST inside corner offers durability and stability with rigid, all-steel construction. The 10″ x 10″ corners easily connect to other RAPID CAST panels with standard panel clamps.
