Practical formwork
•     Quick stripping and assembly of the two shells
•     Wheels reduce the use of handling equipment on the casting yard

Simple casting
•     Min. area required to cast one unit of height C: 1.65C²
•     Min. compressive concrete strength  recommended at stripping:
      10 MPa for all units sizes
•     Typical daily standard production rate: one unit per mould

Minimum storage and easy handling
•     Forklifting is effective for handling small to medium-sized units
•     Large units are handled by slings
•     CORE-LOC™ units can be stored nested on one or more levels in a ‘‘herringbone’’ fashion
•     Min. area required to store 10 units on 1 level: 5.2C²
     where C = CORE-LOC™ unit height
•     Min. compressive concrete strength  recommended for handling units:
      25 MPa for units less or equal to 8.5 m³
      and 30 MPa for sizes above 8.5m³


Fast placement
Principle: each unit placed in a random attitude to obtain the specified packing density, using GPS.

Placement rates

Average placing time per unit (using cable cranes)
0.7 m3 £ Unit volume £ 3.9 m3	5 to 8 mins
3.9 m3 £ Unit volume £ 6.2 m3	8 to 10 mins
6.2 m3 £ Unit volume £ 11.0 m3	10 to 15 mins

NB: Higher rates can be obtained using hydraulic placing equipment with small size units
