Resistant
The Cantilevered Drophead is made from reinforced aluminium, with the dual benefits of making it lighter, and more resistant to the expo-sure of the build.
The main parts have been designed for daily use on the build and are made from highly resistant steel, coated in polyester based paint that protects from bad weather. The parts are sealed off at both ends to protect them from residual concrete.

Light and fast
The 13’-1 1/4” (4m) main girder together with the Dropheads have acombined weight of 55 pounds (25 Kg), (approximately 50% lowerthan other similar systems on the market).
The system is composed of three basic parts: the Girder, the Support Girder and the Drophead. The Support Girders and Main Girders are fixed together semi-rigidly, facilitating assembly and form release.
Alsina Systems - Mecanoconcept
Re-usable formwork system for making waffle slabs with permanent coffer, one-way concrete beams and solid slabs. Alumecano only uses 3 basic components (Girder, Support Girder and Drop head) including the revolutionary new Drop head made of duralumin (structural aluminum), which makes it light and resis-tant for the support of the formwork surface.
The wood lined Cantilevered Drophead adds support of 1 5/8” (4 cm) to the Alisan Panel. The wood inlay can then be easily nailed and unnailed to the panel, preventing it from moving. This is especially useful for the panels on the edge , and in other risk areas.
Three days after concreting, the System allows for a significant partof the Alumecano kit, Panels and Props, to be recovered and reused elsewhere on the build, without the need for replacing all of the ori-ginal Props.
The Cantilevered Drophead is fitted with a system that cushions the fall (rubber plugs), and a standard, predictable drop direction, making the form release process much safer.
Working with 6’-6 3/4” (2 m) wide corridors avoids the typical problems that other fixed 6’-6 3/4” x 6’-6 3/4” (2 m x 2 m) grid systems have, when finishing off meeting points with columns and walls.
Reinforced aluminium
The reinforced aluminium used in making the Drophead, has a far superior elasticity than the majority of steels used in other formwork systems on the market.
Girders in T-shape
The design of the Girder in “T” shape facilitates the removal of the board and helps prevent the grout of the concrete from falling inside the Beam.
Semi-rigid joint
The joining of the Main Girders and the Support Girders is semi-rigid,which helps in the assembly of the system and its later removal.
Our Dropheads works always supported on 2 sides: a Post-shore on one side and a perforated Girder by the pin of the Drop Head on the other.

Alsitec
The Alsina Group has a Technical Department called Alsitec. Here, all of the technical studies of the builds are carried out using advanced computer programs to determine the quantity of material required, and its optimal distribution and placement onsite.
