EFCO’s HAND-E-FORM for a Variety of Configurations

All EFCO HAND-E-FORM panels have holes in the flanges at 1″ (25 mm) center-to-center increments, allowing for the placement of various clamps and accessories in numerous positions. The EFCO Plate Clamp has a dowel pin that goes through the flange holes and provides a fast connection to align the panels and force the facesheets together, eliminating gaps and leakage.

Utilizing HAND-E-FORM in Phase 3 and Beyond

Proxima used the EFCO Form Cleaner* to properly maintain their HAND-E-FORM panels in preparation for the construction of the Phase 3 project set to start in the first quarter of 2024, which includes the forming and concrete pouring of two-story housing units. They also purchased an additional 1,053 m2 (11,350 ft2) of the HAND-E-FORM system for the Phase 3 project and an upcoming mid-rise 10-story building planned for 2024 to 2026.

*The EFCO Form Cleaner is a machine that automatically cleans and oils the form panel facesheets, processing up to 6,000 ft2 (600 m2) of forms per hour. Proper form maintenance is essential for better concrete appearance, lowest labor costs, and extended life of the forms.
