Stay-Form® stay-in-place concrete forms

> Reduced labor cost—no stripping costs

> Lightweight sheets are easy to work with (install, cut, bend)

> Easy rebar and conduit penetrations

> Visual inspection of concrete pour and consolidation

BulkheadsStay-Form allows pours to continue without removal of forms. No scrabbling is required to prepare your surface for the next pour.

Blindside WallsStay-Form permits a wall to be poured within inches of an existing wall, using a rebar hook tie. Once poured, Stay-Form is not removed.

Pile CapsStay-Form’s v-ribs can be cut to form any geometry. Rain water will run out of the Stay-Form during concrete placement.

Grade BeamsWith Stay-Form, less excavation is needed than with conventional formwork because forms are not stripped. Depths are achieved by lapping and tying sheets together.

BridgesStay-Form can be used to form footings, edge forms and bulkheads. It can increase the rate of sequential concrete pours.

ShotcreteStay-Form can be bent to any radius and catches the shotcrete with minimal rebound. With Stay-Form you can shoot one side one day and the opposite side the next day.

Installation NotesThe AMICO rule of thumb is to “brace Stay-Form like you would a piece of plywood.” The use of rebar, strongbacks, walers, kickers, etc. (location, size and spacing) is similar to that for conventional forming methods per ACI 347, Guide to Formwork for Concrete.

NOTES:

• 4”-8” minimum lap between running Stay-Form sheets

• 2-rib minimum lap between stacked Stay-Form sheets

• Tie wire around rib and bracing is recommended.

• Bracing where sheets lap is also recommended.

• Attach Stay-Form to bracing with wire, staples, roofing nails or similar.

• Notch ribs to make 90 degree turns; ribs face into the concrete pour.

• Cut Stay-Form sheets with a grinder, cutoff saw, abrasive blade or tin snips.
