Angled structures ranging from an acute 60 degrees to an obtuse 150 degrees can be tied using the multi-waler hinge.
Paschal hinge facilitates angled structures
01 June 2020
German formwork specialist Paschal Werk G Maier has further expanded the spectrum of applications of its multi-waler with a hinge piece.
The multi-functional, lightweight multi-waler is compatible with all Paschal formwork systems for stiffening a bracing of panels, for filler pieces as well as for stop ends and as a wall stop bar, says a spokesman for the company.
The possible uses have now been further expanded with the multi-waler hinged part.

“In order to offer a practical connecting element for both acute- and obtuse-angled concrete structures for construction companies, Paschal further developed this product by creating the hinged part of the lightweight multi-waler,” he says.
As such, angled structures ranging from an acute 60 degrees to an obtuse 150 degrees can be tied. Panel connections mounted around corners can thus be simply, easily and rapidly stiffened, the spokesman adds.
“Two multi-walers can be joined with a force-fitted connection via the hinged part with bolts with a security pin – hence, stiffening panels around corners couldn’t be easier!” he explains.
The 1.4-m-long multi-waler can be connected to the formwork panels using a Logo clamping piece or, alternatively, using hook headed bolts and a plate with ball-and-socket joint or a waler support DW 15, he adds.
Paschal made its debut in the region in the early 1970s by supplying formwork for a dam project in Saudi Arabia. Subsequently, it supplied to other civil projects in Kuwait and Bahrain from its main office in Germany.
However, to meet the increasing demand for formwork in the region, Paschal Concrete Forms was set up in Bahrain as its main regional office for the Middle East in 1997. Based at Bahrain International Investment Park (BIIP) in Hidd, it has an assembling facility for Modular formwork and a stockyard in the kingdom. In addition, with branches in Dubai, and its Scientific and Technical Office in Dammam, Paschal is strongly represented in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region. n
