MINI MKII SOLDIER
Stop end plan
● High tensile rolled steel profile
● Lightweight section at 8.4 kg/ m
● Nailing holes in top flange
● 10 kNm bending capacity
The MINI MKII SOLDIERis a versatile
lightweight formwork beam that has been
designed to give a robust, easy-to-handle
solution to awkward formwork areas.
The section profile has been optimised,
giving an excellent balance of strengthand weight. The section is rolled from
special high tensile steel, allowing a
lightweight section to be utilised. The
beam has also been structurally
engineered to allow regular lightening
apertures, giving the benefit of reduced
weight, along with the opportunity to fix
accessories to the beam.
The MINI MKII SOLDIERis suitable as a
primary beam for small-to-medium wall
or base pours, a stop-end beam forgeneral wall formwork pours, or as a
lightweight support beam.
The heavy duty hot-dip galvanised finish
to the beam offers a superior robust steel
coating giving maximum longevity.
An added feature of the beam is the
nailing holes in the top flange, giving the
opportunity to fix directly to plywood or
timber. The beam can also be used

Aluminium w alings
The use of aluminium over timber has
great advantages. Aluminium is lighter
and stronger than timber and therefore
allows larger assemblies of formwork,
which in turn reduces the labour cost of
fixing and erecting.
SGB offers two types of DU-AL aluminium
waling beam, the standard S150 for
general use, and the T150, which is a
stronger section and ideal for use wherethe soldier centres need to be wider
apart.

LOGIK 60
WALL FORM W ORK CRAN E-HAN DLED
Description
The LOGIK 60 panel system for crane
handling produces 60 kN/ m2 concrete
pressure resistance from a robust panel.
The panel is surface-finished with a robust
hot-dip galvanising to give longevity and
lower maintenance, resulting in reduced
costs. Manufactured to tight tolerances,
panels are clamped rigidly together with
a unique Alignment, Locking and Levelling
ALL Clamp with a single hammer blow.
This action is so secure that form
assemblies can then be crane-handled
without additional structural members. A
large number of re-uses are then feasible
without the need for time-consuming
stripping down.
The panels feature a special rolled steel
profile 140 mm in depth that combines
with high quality 18 mm plywood. This is
supported at 300 mm centres and edge-
sealed in polyurethane. Multiple tie holes
allow for tie rods/ plates, all of which are
positioned for maximum panel stiffness
and strength.
Flexibility
The LOGIK 60 system features a fullrange of sizes that offer the flexibility to
cope with a wide variety of situations
encountered.
Single sided forms
SGB LOGIK 60 panels can also be used
to form single-sided wall forms in
conjunction with SGB MULTIFORM
components in an A-Frame configuration.
Column forms
Standard panel forms can be employed
for highly rigid, high-quality finishes in
column forms with a wide variety of
different column size options. Avoids the
need for time-consuming timber and
waling assemblies, by utilising the
strength of the novel column coupler
component.
Circular (polygona l) forms
Standard LOGIK panels can be used to
create impressive circular (polygonal)
structures in conjunction with the use of
their versatile panel clamps and tie plates.

LOGIK 50
WALL FORM W ORK MAN-HANDLED
Description
LOGIK 50 is a 50 kN/ m2 strength,
versatile panel system with unit weights of
approximately 35 kg/ m2. This makes it
suitable for projects requiring man-
handling capability where crane access is
restricted or impractical.
Simple in use, but smart in design
concept, the panels are secured in a
similar way to the crane-handled version.
A lightweight clamp is pre-set and
clamped single-handed in one simple
action.
It can be attached at any number of
horizontal or vertical positions.
Once fastened, a tight connection is
maintained to avoid grout loss. The holes
are positioned at the strongest part of the
panel.
Flexibility
The component solutions are fast, flexible
and offer a good standard of finish with
minimal grout loss, avoiding the need to
import timber elements requiring special
skills.
Single sided forms
SGB LOGIK 50 panels can also be used
to form single-sided wall forms inconjunction with SGB MULTIFORM
components in an A-Frame configuration.
Column forms
Standard panel forms can be employed
for highly rigid, high-quality finishes in
column forms with a need for time-
consuming timber and waling assemblies,
by utilising the strength of the novel
column coupler component.
Circular (polygona l) forms
Standard LOGIK panels can be used tocreate impressive circular structures in
conjunction with the use of their versatile
panel clamps and tie plates.

LOGIK 360
WALL FORM W ORK CIRCULAR
LOGIK 360
● Truly circular panel formwork system
● Fast and simple setting procedure.
●
Fully assembled panels.● Lightweight slim profile
● Compatible with LOGIK 60
LOGIK 360 is the first plywood-faced
truly circular panel formwork system. The
patented design of LOGIK 360
demonstrates SGB Formwork’s innovative
approach to circular formwork.
LOGIK 360 has very few components,
cutting the chances of site losses to an
absolute minimum. A LOGIK 360 wall is
constructed with a 1.24 m Inner Panel, a
1.25 m Outer Panel, LOGIK 60 Ties and
Tie Washers, and LOGIK 60 AdjustableClamps.
The new design has eliminated the
hundreds of bolts, turnbuckles, beams,
walers and multiple components
commonly used on older systems.
Crane handling and transport are also
much easier with LOGIK 360, because of
the low unit weight of approximately
58 kg/ m2, combined with the slim profile
of the panel, measuring just 140 mm
deep.
The standard SGB Formwork panels can
be used for circular walls down to 4 m
minimum radius. Further panels are
available to cope with smaller radii, down
to 2.5 m minimum radius.
LOGIK 360 is also fully compatible with
the LOGIK 60 panels, making transitions
from straight walls to circular walls simple
and easy.

MULTIFORM CIRCULAR
WALL FORM W ORK CIRCULAR
The System
MULTIFORM Circular Formwork System is
suitable for double-sided curved walls
with a minimum outer radius of 5 m.
It offers easy setting and adjustment of
curvature with wide spacing of ties @
1.25 m (1.88 m2 / tie).
Concrete pressures of up to 60 kN/ m2
can be accommodated.
Minimum adjustment infill solutions, eitherexternal or internal, give maximum
versatility to all stock.
General Guidelines
Plan detail
1) Set the panels to the correct radii by
turning the adjustable clamp.
2) Lift the panels into place.
3) Connect the adjoining panels with the
wedged articulated coupling.
4) Make finite adjustments with the
adjustable spindle and articulated
coupling.
Adjustment clamp details
1) The adjustable clamp slides onto the
MF1 Waler and is bolted onto the
MF3 beam.
2) Adjustment is then made by turning the
screw thread of the adjustable clamp.
Infill details
1) Simple infill details allow gaps to be
compensated for with a minimum of
adjustment.
2) This means standard size panels can
be fully utilised for all radii and wall
thicknesses.

MULTIFORM A-FRAMES
WALL FORM W ORK SIN GLE-SIDED
Multiform A–Frames
● Single-sided forming
● 2 m – 5 m modular sizes
● Larger sizes available
● Sliding foot feature
● Compatible with all formwork types
MULTIFORM A-Frames are used in the
construction of single-sided walls when
tieing through the formwork is not
possible.
A-Frames are used for the construction of
concrete walls cast against the face of
existing walls in basement construction or
similar.
MULTIFORM A-Frames are available in
2 m, 3 m, and 5 m modular sizes, fully
assembled for immediate use on site.
They are compatible with all LOGIK panel
formwork as well as traditional soldier
and beam formwork.
The frames are made up largely of bolted
connections, making repair and
maintenance simple and easy.
Accessories for the A-Frames such as
walkway brackets are fully compatible
with LOGIK panel formwork, making
good cross-utilisation of products.
The A-Frames contain a “ Sliding foot”
feature to enable the wall to be fully
tightened to the wall kicker.
The 2 m Mini A-Frame is ideal for the
construction of deep base pours where tie
deformation prevents the use of double-
sided concrete pours. The modular units
allow simple, fast, reliable installation. The
Mini A-Frame contains a unique frame-
setting feature, allowing the units to be
anchored and accurately aligned in just
two actions.

GASS
SLAB FORMW ORK ALUMINIUM SHORING
Developed from the extensive experience
gained by SGB working on many of the
largest and most demanding construction
projects worldwide, GASS has been
designed and manufactured to meet the
speed, safety and economic demands of
the modern construction industry.
GASS is safer, stronger and more
versatile than any previously available
system, yet it still offers competitive
economic advantages. The strength andversatility offered by the GASS system
bring the benefits of aluminium shoring to
a wider range of construction projects
and contractors, many of them producing
higher levels of productivity.
High productivity
● Lightweight aluminium components
enable greater volumes of falsework to
be assembled
●
Unique locking feature for LedgerFrames is hammer-fastened, and simple
to locate
● 140 kN heavy duty capacity reduces
number of components required
● Ledger Frames can be located at any
vertical position along the leg
Highly adaptable
● 8-way connection into the GASS leg
● GASS is commonly used in the
construction of:
RESERVOIRS – using GASS rolling
table forms
RESIDEN TIAL AN D COM M ERCIAL
CON CRETE FRAM ES – using GASS
flying tables and GASS backprops
IN DUSTRIAL STRUCTURES – using
fix and strike GASS tower structures for
heavily loaded slabs
GASS is safer
● Locking feature on frames gives visible
reassurance that it is secured
● Higher shear loading capacity of
frames
● Access platform options provide firm
working area
● Integral safe guardrail height with
working platform
● Head plates interlock to prevent rotation
GASS is better
GASS has been awarded five

CUPLOK SUPPORT
SLAB FORMW ORK STEEL SHORIN G
SGB CUPLOK was the first ever
galvanised, multi-purpose scaffold system
in the UK. It is a well proven heavy duty
support system which is relatively light
and easy to assemble and suitable for
falsework support or access, building and
civil engineering projects.
SGB’s experience of using CUPLOK on
projects all over the world enables us to
offer you absolute confidence when using
this system.
The principal feature of CUPLOK is the
unique node point - locking up to four
horizontals in one single action without
the use of nuts, bolts or wedges. The
locking device is formed by a fixed lower
cup, which is welded to the vertical at
0.5 m intervals, and a sliding upper cup.
The forged blade ends of the horizontals
are located in the lower cup. The upper
cup is moved down and rotated by
hammer blows to give a positive and rigidconnection.
Hot-dipped galvanising is the finest
practical coating that can be applied to a
scaffold system, providing a long working
life and better handling to the user as well
as improved appearance and durability.
Soffit support
The range of CUPLOK equipment gives
the system the capability to tackle virtually
any soffit support application with the
most cost-effective approach. We can
provide a large number of grid variations
to fit steel, aluminium or timber joists.
Complimenting CUPLOK is our DU-AL
Aluminium Beam System. DU-AL ’s high
strength and low weight result in
increased productivity.
The DU-AL system comprises a selection
of 3 beams in a variety of lengths. In each
case the beams are supported in
Forkheads and fastened by means of a
quick fixing clamp.
Benefits
The key advantages of CUPLOK over
traditional scaffolding are:
●
74 kN leg load● Unique node point: 4 connections in one
● Systemised quick erection bracing
● 20% lighter than traditional scaffolding

When the next anchor point has been
fixed, the whole unit is lifted up, giving a
safe area for reinforcement to be fixed.
The anchor point consists of a recoverable
anchor cone, with a nailing disc to assist
casting the cone into the wall pour.
The MULTIFORM Climbing Brackets come
with a range of trailing platforms for
access to the cast face for making good
and recovering anchor cones.
The internal platform beams can be
climbed either using the pivoting foot, or
an internal shoe bolted onto the wall. If
the pivoting foot is used, a special steel
mould is available for casting the correct
shaped bearing port into the wall.

● Self-climbing formwork
● Independent of crane
● Steel-faced or ply-faced formwork
● Jumpform or Climbform
HIGHRISER is a self-climbing formwork
system for the construction of high-rise
concrete cores or bridge piers. The system
is able to operate totally independently of
a crane, after an initial set-up, andhydraulically climb up the structure.
The system is available in either
“Jumpform” or “Climbform”.
The Jumpform system climbs within a
confined core with a steel table
cantilevering out over the external walls to
support the external shutters and platform.
The Climbform system climbs up the
external face of the wall only.
The units are jacked up in a rack system
by a series of interconnecting hydraulic
jacks. The bearing feet of the frames are
always maintained at a low enough
distance from the pour level, such that
concrete curing time is not a critical issue.
The basic climbing units can be used with
either steel-faced forms or ply-faced forms
to suit the project.
The design is versatile enough to cope
with any shape of structure, and changesin plan dimensions can also be designed
into the frame.

● 74 kN leg load
● Unique node point: 4 connections in one
● Systemised quick-erection bracing
● 20% lighter than traditional scaffolding
The design of CUPLOK is ideal for bridge
support work since its strength and
versatility can produce great savings in
erection and supervision times on site. The
fastening of four components at once, on
one level, makes CUPLOK a highly
economical support medium.
Systemised bracing and the rocking
(sloping) components cater for falls in
both directions. SGB have a wide variety
of ledger sizes (from 0.6 m to 2.5 m) to
produce the most economical grid layout
for any thickness of slab.
The 74 kN leg loading capacity will
reduce the number of vertical or
horizontal supports required, and improve
productivity.
CUPLOK has a long history of successful
support to motorway and trunk road
bridges across the world.

● 140 kN leg load
● High productivity
● Integrally braced Ledger Frames
● Adaptable 8-way connection
GASS is a high productivity aluminium
shoring system suitable for supporting
bridge deck pours. Its high leg load
capacity of 14 T maximum SWL makes it

GASS is made up from a unique Outer
Leg with 8 different locations for
connecting the bracing frames.
The strong Inner Leg, with a massive
1300 mm of adjustment, gives the system
superior flexibility in overcoming different
ground terrains and obstacles.
The Ledger Frames are locked into the
outer legs by a fast and simple-to-use
wedge action. The stiff Ledger Frames
eliminate the need for any further bracing
members, making GASS one of the fastest
shoring systems to assemble.
DIN approved
GASS has been officially checked and
approved for load rating by the
Government Structures Office in Germany
to code DIN 4421, which closely
resembles the forthcoming British
(European) Standard prEN12812.
Full second order theory datasheet rules
apply, giving simple compliance to

● Modular facade-retention solution● Site-specific framed structure designs
● Heavy duty shoring up to 500 kN/ leg
● Economical bracing solutions
With the galvanised steel MKII SOLDIER it
is possible to make-up three-dimensional
structural frames for use as facade-
retaining shores or heavy duty dead
shores.
For this purpose a Multiway Connector
and special braces have been developed.The Multiway Connector is a special node
point in the frame structure, on to which a
maximum of 8 Soldiers can be connected.
A special push/ pull bracket has been
developed to enable intermediate bracing
with Soldiers to be used at any arbitrary
point on the Soldier.
The MKII SOLDIER, when used as a
compression member, has different
loading characteristics about its two main
axes of inertia due to its asymmetricshape. The arrangement of the shore
when erected may also dictate the method
of bracing to obtain the required capacity.
Special details have been developed for
use in facade-retention applications for
connecting the frame to the facade.
Heavy leg loads of up to 500 kN can be
supported by the Multiway Connector by
doubling up the vertical Soldier.
A special wedge jack component isavailable if the structure has to be struck
under load. These jacks have a limited
height adjustment range of 100 mm.

● Triple wire rigid-mesh edge protection
● Highly durable galvanised and powder-
coated finish
● Fast and simple installation
● Patented range of fixing components
SGB EXTRAGUARD is systemised metal
panel edge protection offering a higher
standard of safety to reduce the risk of
falls from height. EXTRAGUARD is a
highly visible full-mesh panel with a
galvanised and powder-coated finish.
EXTRAGUARD comprises a combination
of patented clamping devices, posts and
full-mesh panels with a unique triple wire
construction. This gives the mesh an
unrivalled rigidity and also protects the
edges of the mesh from damage.
N ew Safety Standard
The new prEN 13374 ‘Temporary Edge
Protection Systems’ is the very first
British/ European Standard to be wri tten
solely for edge protection. The new
requirements fundamentally change the
approach to edge protection. In
particular, the deflection requirements
apply to the whole mesh panel area, not
just to the top rail. The rigid triple wire
EXTRAGUARD mesh panel ful ly meets
these requirements.
