PRODUCT BROCHURE
Desalination Plant in Adelaide
Product Overview
Faster
Efficient tie hole positioning reduces the number of ties
required, lowering costs and construction times
Modular components reduces the time to assemble and
dismantle the panels
Minima has an extensive range of accessories that enable
quick erection and stripping of the system
Safer
Few loose fittings make it easy and convenient to connect
the panels by using Minima clamps - no special tools are
required
Minima is a robust, wall formwork panel system for concrete
loads of up to 60kPa
Easier
Many of Minima's panels are lighterweight (only 30kg/m2),
which means most panels are easily set by hand, minimising
the need for cranage, reducing costs and skilled labour
requirements
Panels can be clamped together and up to 25m2 can be
lifted by crane if required, increasing the productivity of the
system
Minima inner corners have a 2 degree stripping clearance,
which allows panels to be easily removed once curing has
taken place
Clamps are easily tightened, prolonging their working life
and reducing labour requirements
Minima has many different panel sizes ensuring that virtually
any wall can be erected. Furthermore, composite panels are
available for longer life and a better finish

Features & Benefits
Lightweight panels
Panels are only 30kg/m2 so most of them are easily set by
hand, minimizing the need for cranage, reducing costs and
skilled labour requirements.
Easy stripping
Once sufficient curing has taken place Minima inner corners
can easily be removed because of their 2 degree stripping
clearance.
Simple clamping system
The Minima clamps are easy to use, which reduces the time
needed to complete the project.
Versatile
Available in 18 panel sizes, including a panel that's 2.7 x
2.4m, virtually any configuration can be erected.
Increased productivity
The productivity of Minima is improved when its clamped
together (up to 25m2) and lifted by crane to the next pouring
location.
Clever design
Tie positions support 1.21m2 of formwork when using 2.7 x
0.9m panel assemblies, reducing the number of ties
required, lowering costs and construction times.
Panels moved whilst clamped
