This innovative system for lightening reinforced concrete structures and speeding up the construction process, allows investors and builders to save time and a lot of costs.
The technology allows reducing the weight of the building by up to 35%, by saving on the amount of concrete and rebar used. As a result, we enable the entire project to develop levels of sustainability and efficiency previously unknown.
The idea originated more than 20 years ago in Germany and there are already over 15 million square metres built with our system worldwide.
By placing our product between the two rows of rebar, we displace a certain amount of concrete, with the forms located only in the slabs (non-bearing areas) remaining hollow and displacing around 42 kg of concrete in each form.
Detailed information on the parameters and use of the product can be obtained from our brochure available in the section "Documents".
The Geoplast universal formwork system is designed to be light and simple for the best performance and ergonomics, reducing the environmental impact of construction sites. Plastics are extremely versatile materials and are now used in every sector of activity. By choosing the right polymer and with skilful design, the product will produce amazing results. Since 2003, Geoplast has been offering the construction industry all the advantages of ABS formwork.

User-friendly tools are safer, easier to use and more productive. It is a fact that repeated lifting of heavy equipment causes fatigue and injuries. The Geoplast formwork weighs an average of 15 kg/m2, with no single element heavier than 11 kg: this means that the entire system can always be worked by hand in any situation. Crane operation is no longer required, giving much more flexibility on the construction site without any compromise in terms of health and safety.
A well-constructed formwork is easy and quick to use. The Geoplast formwork uses injection moulded ABS in a clever way, with as few components as possible. Light weight and simplicity improve speed of use. Formwork elements of different shapes and sizes can be easily assembled and used together with a limited amount of filler timber.
The low weight and modular construction make the storage and logistics of Geoplast formwork easy. Moisture and water do not affect the panels in any way, no dry storage conditions are required. The low weight of the system means that no crane or crane truck is required to handle the formwork, greatly simplifying logistics.
ABS is a very strong polymer, resistant to impact and abrasion. The Geoplast formwork withstands pressure up to 80 kN/m2. The excellent temperature stability of ABS is key to the formwork's usefulness in both hot and cold climates. Long-term experience shows that properly processed Geoplast formwork can be used for more than 120 cycles.
