Support Frame STB
The safe support system for single-sided formwork
What was an exception years ago is a routine matter today: single-sided walls. For example when concreting against existing structures or for the skinning of pits, for retaining walls or for shafts and tunnels.
With single-sided walls, the total concrete pressure must be transferred from the formwork into the structure or into the ground. Meva support frames offer a safe and economical solution with an anchoring system that is built into the foundation, the floor slab or the slab.
Support frame
STB 300
The height of 3000mm allows the forming of walls up to 3750mm.
Support frame
STB 450
The height of 4500mm is suited to build up to 5m high walls.
Extension
STB 150
For greater heights, extension pieces of 1500mm can be added.

Field Tips
The following must be considered when using support frames:
- Foundations, floor slabs etc. must be able to resist the transmitted loads (a static calculation may be required).
- The anchor dimensions and the layout must be planned in detail before the start of construction.
- In order to avoid overloading the formwork, the support frames should be attached to the panels, close to the tie holes.
- As a rule, anchor bars must not be welded, heated or deformed.
- The ‘opposite side’ of the single-sided formwork (e.g. existing wall) must be able to resist the concrete pressure.
