1. Made in America: Steel Ply Concrete Forms
2. Overview: Major advantages of pre engineered forming, compared to traditional timber formwork or ‘sticks and boards’, are speed of construction  and lower life-cycle costs 80 standard panel and filler sizes special tools are required Reduces job-built fabrication Fast stripping procedure

The Steel-Ply forming system can form walls of almost any shape or size, with accessories for special structures and details.

This system is more productive and economical than job-built plywood formwork or other forming methods.

Panels & Fillers

The complete Steel-Ply system consists of 80 standard panel and filler sizes. Panel and filler heights range from 3’ to 8’, in 1’ increments. Panel widths are 24” and filler widths range from 4” to 22”, in 2” increments. A 5” wide filler and steel 1”, 1½”, and 2” fillers are also available. Wedge Bolts connect panels, fillers and ties in one simple operation.

System Design:

Steel-Ply panels and fillers are constructed from a rugged steel frame.

The side rail of the form is rolled exclusively for Symons and has a minimum yield stress of 55,000 psi.

Crossmembers have a minimum yield stress of 60,000 psi and are located at one foot centers on all panels and fillers.

Symons special ½” 100/30 High Density Overlay (HDO) plywood provides a smooth finish.

Each piece is edge sealed to repel moisture and prevent delamination. With proper care, contractors can expect up to 200 reuses before plywood replacement.

Steel-Ply requires little training because it has no top or bottom, left or right, and can be used vertically or horizontally.

Dado slots at cross – members simplify tie placement. Slots for hardware attachment are located between crossmembers.

All Steel-Ply components combine to provide a 1000 psf rated system with a predictable safety factor over the service life of the form.

The complete Steel-Ply system consists of over -100 standard panel and filler sizes. Panel and filler heights range from 3′ to 10′, in 1′ increments.

Panel widths are 24″ and filler widths range from 4″ to 22″, in 2″ increments. A 5″ wide filler and steel 1″, 1½”, and 2″ fillers are also available.

Wedge Bolts connect panels, fillers and ties in one simple operation.
