Profile
Construx is one of Europe’s leading mould makers for precast plants and on-site use. We do in house engineering, designing and manufacturing of Precast Moulds and Machinery and Formwork for Civil Engineering. We have more than 17 years of experience in the production of forms and moulds for beams, columns, walls, floors, stairs, box culverts, shafts, tanks, basements, cabins, pods, retainer walls, drainage channels, prestressed elements and production lines, formwork for bridges, civil engineering projects, architectural concrete projects Construx is a forerunner in the concrete industry which generates great opportunities in discovering new methods, new processes and new technologies. Designing and producing things no one has done before.
“Shaping the Future of Concrete” is our baseline and the best definition of what we do, but the way of doing things changed from ingenious mechanical concepts to complex electromechanical design and advanced automation, with a greater focus on health and safety.

Sidecaster : hydraulically adjustable side-pour stair mould
These hydraulically adjustable side-pour stair moulds are suitable to make stairs, with or without landings, of which both top and bottom have a fair-faced finish The mould consists of 2 parts which sit on a frame on which a height adjustment system supports the timber soffit. The front side of the Construx Sidecaster has 2 hydraulic movements: Synchronised adjustment of risers Synchronised adjustment of goings The back side of the mould is a full steel flat panel which can be manually adjusted sideways and back and forth. The side movement allows to put the panel at its right position in order to connect with the opposite panel and the start of the landing panel. The transverse movement allows to demould and to open the mould by 700mm in order to take out the stairs, clean and oil the mould and put in the reinforcement. Both movements are carried out by means of rollers, a mechanic chain drive and a drive wheel. Adjusting both landing panels is done with synchronized high precision spindles. The top landing panel is moveable in order to be able to make stairs with different numbers of steps. Both sides of the mould have full steel working platforms with access stairs on both ends. The height adjusters can be fitted onto the base frame and support the timber + plywood soffit which needs to be cut to measure by the customer. After the mould and its landing panels are adjusted, all panels need to be secured by means of ties, underneath and over the top of the panels. Specifications The standard vertical mould is suitable to produce stairs according to following specifications: Number of steps adjustable from 1 to 16/18/20/22/24 Maximum width 1500mm or 2000mm Risers adjustable from 150mm to 200mm Goings adjustable from 200mm to 320mm Throat depth adjustable from 120mm to 250mm Fronts: straight, cut-back, cut-back with nose or all 3 combined Maximum top and bottom landing length: 1500mm or 2000mm

Flexbox mould: adjustable moulds for any type of box culverts
Construx designed a new type of adjustable moulds to produce any type of shaft or core without ties through the concrete element The system is suitable to make single and double lift shafts, stair cores and box culverts. The idea of the mould is to start with an adjustable base frame on which all components can be locked into position. The inside mould has 4 hydraulically retractable corners which, when connected without any infill panels, form the minimum shaft size. This size can be chosen at 1200mm x 1200mm, 1000mm x 1000mm or even at 900mm x 900mm. When adding infill panels in between the inside corners, any other internal size can be achieved. Increments can be 250mm or 10mm or anything in between. The retractable corners can feature a 90° angle (for lift shafts and stair cores) or can have a triangular chamfered corner (for box-culverts), or even a combination of chamfer and 90° angle. In case the mould is going to be used for lift shafts and stair cores as well as for box-culverts, the chamfered corners can have detachable top-up parts. The retractable corners can be operated by means of 4 individual hydraulic hand-pumps or with one single hydraulic group. After assembling the inside mould, steel bases are fit onto the base frame and against the inside mould. These bases sit on height adjusters and can have different widths, allowing various wall thicknesses for shafts and culverts. The continuous height adjustment systems allows to finish the concrete on top of the mould at all times. The bases can be flat (for lift shafts and stair cores) or have a rebate (for box-culverts). The outside panels connect to each other in a hit-and-miss configuration. By doing so, any outside size can be achieved, no matter the increments of the inside mould. Outside panels and inside panels are connected to each other with spindles at the base and by means of tie-rods over the top of the mould. So, there is no need for ties through the concrete element, which results in a fair-faced and watertight finish.
