The jury of the Construmat awards in the category of 'Construction processes', decided to award the Diploma to the experimental study of the evolution of charges on props and floor slabs by Encofrados j. Alsinaduring the construction of buildings with successive slabs by the partial removal.

The award is recognition of the work of research, which has allowed to develop a methodology based on technical concepts of the partial removal in the usual constructive type. It's a study carried out within the doctoral thesis of was a. Alvarado and Pedro a. Calderón.

Participate in this study Institute of science and technology of the concrete (Icitech) of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, whose founding member is Peter a. Calderón, in collaboration with the Ministry of education and science and the company Alsina, concerned about the improvement of deadlinesSecurity and economy during the construction of successive floors with concrete 'in situ'. The aim is to study the distribution of loads between Struts and forged during the construction process.

It should be noted that Alsina has contributed both funding and equipment for trials and the involvement of three technical involved throughout the process, together with the technicians of the Unviersidad, as explains Jacint BassolsHead of marketing of the company.

Also notes us that "we always say that awards are not used to giving orders, yes that renewed the illusion to the submitted project team, as they are a recognition of good work". That is why, in the case of Construmat, the fair of the sector's most important building that's currently in Spain, to Alsina "is an honor to receive a new distinction, bearing in mind also that the jury evaluates projects is composed by professionals of great prestige".

Multiform, a step in formwork for civil engineering systems

After his long experience in the implementation of hydraulic works, Alsina expands its range of solutions to cover a further typology of projects of civil works with its new system of formwork Multiform, Construmat visitors could know first-hand.

Alsina took advantage of the room to show his Multiform system, introduced in the market already more than a year ago and which allows the company to carry out bridges of a different nature and projects of complex geometries.

Thanks to its design, the Multiform system possesses the versatility necessary to solve many of the situations arising at work; its modular flexibility facilitates mounting of any type of structure because it can be adjusted to multiple measures. But it is also highly versatile to suit both geometries for Board, slab, lintels or pans, with which it is a very complete system, able to offer a precise mounting and solve all the needs you may have the client in this way.

Multiform is a formwork system that allows to carry out projects of bridges of a different nature, stacks of variable section of sections and many other projects of complex geometries.

With the Multiform, Alsina shows a clear will of innovation, providing a system that offers very effective performance in work thanks to its ability to take countless configurations and the ease with which is combined with other products Alsina. But its Assembly, as well as insurance, is also fast and easy. So for example, Union between beams DUPN-120 systems use comfortable bolts of connection, affecting mounts agile and fast, avoiding uncomfortable and slower systems of screwing.

Jacint Bassols, head of marketing of Alsina, explains what the main virtues of Multiform: "one of the most significant advantages of the system provided by the company lies in the use of the connector beam MF, whose patent belongs to Encofrados Alsina." This piece is intended to unite the primary beams DUPN-120 with the secondary HT-20 with which its use during the installation is significant (due to the number of beams HT-20 containing the system). Precisely because of the high prominence MF connector has during the process of Assembly, Alsina has invested great efforts to create a piece that would be easy and quick to place. The experiences arising from work, this piece is a great success and the customers positively value the efficiency of the Assembly of the Multiform system.

We also notes that "the designed system is suitable mainly as formwork of bridges: viaducts, overpasses and underpasses." "However, as its name suggests, has components that allow multiple applications, such as to execute walls of stacks of variable section, such as indoor climbing, etc".

With the contribution of the Multiform, Alsina remains faithful to the philosophy that so successful it has been reported during all these years: professionalism, competitiveness, innovation and comprehensive service to the client.
