Concrete Placement Safety
The Solo Form System is designed to withstand up to 1500 pounds per square foot as defined by ACI- 347. There are a
number of factors that contribute to concrete pressure, none of which are under the control of Surebuilt.
Concrete pressure is impacted by temperature, rate of placement, vibration methods, re-vibration, density, cement
slump and admixtures.
Exceeding formwork designed pressures will result in damage to rental equipment and potential formwork failures. Form-
work failures can result in injury, loss of life, loss of time and loss of money. Immediately following concrete placement, an
effort should be made to clean concrete spillage from the formwork before it sets. This will greatly increase crew productiv-
ity and reduce cleaning charges.
Stripping and Dismantling Formwork
Concrete formwork and/or shoring should not be stripped until the concrete has reached the proper design strength as
specified by the contract documents or until the fresh concrete can sustain itself. Never attempt to break the bond between
the concrete and the formwork with a crane. Attempts to break the bond with a crane may result in serious injury. The
bond between the concrete and formwork should be broken by use of pry bars and wedges.
When dismantling formwork do not drop components or accessories from above. Place all panels, fillers, hardware and
accessories in logical groups for easy transportation to the next location. Make sure careful attention is paid to how the
dismantling operation impacts adjacent formwork. Unsecured formwork can fall and cause serious injury.
Climbing Rods
Climbing rods are standard on all 08’x08’ , 04’x08’ , 30”
, and 24” wide panels. The climbing rods provide not only a great
source for climbing the formwork, but they also exceed the required OSHA standard for fall protection. Prior to climbing
the formwork, job site personnel must ensure that the formwork has been properly erected and secured. The formwork
must be braced to resist any and all loads associated with wind and live load produced by job site conditions.
Transportation and Handling
The Solo Form System will be shipped to your job site in panel stacks of (10), which are banded together with nylon strap-
ping. Careful consideration should be given prior to removing the banding, as uneven job site conditions will result in
form movement once the banding has been removed. Panel stacks can safely and easily be moved by use of choker straps.
These straps must have a safe working load of 1,500 lbs and an ultimate capacity of 7,500 lbs.
Note on Staging Returns:
Equipment should be cleaned & treated with formwork release prior to staging. Panels and fillers should be staged in stacks
of (10) & banded together with nylon strapping. Accessories and hardware should be segregated and returned as they were
shipped to the project. Steel banding is not permitted and will severely damage the formwork panels.

Installing Formwork Ties
Installing Formwork Ties
The Solo Form Clamp System Is designed
to be used with the following types of ties:
• 15mm Pass Thru She Bolts
• 15mm Cone Style She Bolts
• 15mm Sleeved Rod 15mm Taper Ties
Taper Tie 1” to 5/8” (15mm)
SWL – 19,100lb.
Safety Factor: 2 to 1
The system is designed for joined panels to share tie loads over common joints. The basic rule is to place a tie in all tie
box locations that do not already have a similar tie in the adjacent panel. When sharing ties across panel joints, careful
attention must be paid to the size and location of the tie washer plate. The tie washer plate must be large enough (5 1⁄2”
diameter plate recommended) to support both panels. When sharing ties across panel joints, always be sure to place the
tie in the larger of the two width panels.
Careful attention must be paid to install form tie hole plugs where ties are not being used.
The form tie hole plug is not included with the system and can easily be purchased by
contacting your local SOLO representative.

Battered Wall Forming
Battered Wall Forming
By utilizing the swivel tie plate, batter wall applications can
be accomplished. Walls that batter up to 5 degrees on one
side can be achieved with standard she bolts and swivel tie
nuts. Walls that batter up to 4 degrees on each side can be
achieved with standard she bolts and swivel tie nuts.
Offset Formwork Elevations
Often the concrete footer or slab is slightly offset in elevation
from one side of a wall to another. Applications of this nature
are easily accomplished using the swivel tie plate assembly.
Please consult your SOLO representative regarding your
specific application.

Formwork Erection
Formwork Erection
Prior to formwork erection, the job site personnel should treat the formwork with release agent. Failure to use form
release will result in excessive concrete build up and subsequent cleaning costs.
1. Plan and locate a logical starting point for your formwork erection. Typically the best place to begin is in a corner. Fix
the first panel to the footer by using the footing clip or by nailing the formwork to a sill plate thru the manufactured nail
holes. Immediately brace the first panel back to the footer or contractor supplied concrete blocks. Bracing the formwork is
an absolute requirement, failure to adequately brace formwork will result in injury.
2. Continue erecting formwork as depicted in the erection drawings and outlined in detail on pages 35 – 60 of the
Application Guide. Pay careful attention to use appropriate tools when engaging clamps and aligning
formwork. Damage will result if the frame profile is struck with a hammer or if a clamp is re-
peatedly struck with a hammer. The maximum size hammer allowed for clamp connec-
tions is 28 oz. Formwork should be moved in final position by use of a pry bar.
Never hit the formwork with a hammer in order to position the form,
misuse of this nature will result in damage to the formwork.

Formwork Erection – Closing the Wall
Formwork Erection – Closing the Wall
Now that you have set the first face of your wall, it is time to
tie your rebar and set any required imbeds, sleeves and/or
box outs.
1. Plan and locate a logical starting point for continuing
your formwork erection. Typically the best place to start the
formwork operation is in a corner. Place the first panel in the
proper location and secure the panel by placing ties thru the
tie holes, be sure to affix tie nuts to the ties on both sides of
the wall. Next, secure the base of the panel to the footer.
2. Take the time to plumb the first panel. Locate the second
panel and secure the panel joints with the proper amount of
wedge clamps. The wedge clamp should first be ‘seated’ on
the panel joint and then driven tight with a hammer. The
maximum size hammer allowed for clamp connections is 28
oz.
3. Continue erecting the formwork in this manner until
your form work operation is complete. Careful attention
should be given to installing the proper amount of formwork
ties. Failure to install the proper number of ties will result in
formwork failure.
Concrete Placement
The Solo Form Clamp System is design to withstand
1500 pounds per square foot of concrete pressure as
defined by ACI-347. Exceeding 1500 pounds per square
foot of concrete pressure will result in damage and po-
tential form failure. Form failure can result in injury and
costly repair.
4. Careful consideration should be given to areas that have
increased pressures on panel joints, such as outside corners,
panel joints immediately adjacent to outside corners and
panel joints immediately adjacent to formwork bulkheads.
Follow the instructions on pages 14 to 16 for safely address-
ing these areas of concern.
Careful attention should be paid to mix design,
weather conditions and vibration.
Controlling concrete pressure is the
responsibility of the contractor.
5. Once the formwork is erected and properly secured you
may install your walkway brackets, scaffold planks and
guard rail posts. The walkway brackets have a safe working
load of 500 lbs each.
Immediately following concrete placement, every ef-
fort to remove concrete spillage from the formwork is
required. Failure to properly clean excess concrete from
the formwork will result in increased cleaning costs.

Stripping and Dismantling Formwork
Stripping and Dismantling Formwork
Concrete formwork and/or shoring should not be stripped until the concrete has reached the proper
design strength as specified by the contract documents or until the fresh concrete can support itself.
1. Plan and locate a logical starting point for your
formwork stripping operation. Careful consideration
should be given to the impact of formwork removal
on adjacent formwork and adjacent job site operations.
2. Begin stripping the formwork by dismantling
the walkway bracket system.
3. Continue the operation by working on the unbraced
side of the wall. Remove all formwork ties. Careful
consideration should be given to removing formwork
ties and the impact it may have on unbraced sections
of wall. Refrain from hammering formwork ties from
the concrete. Hammering the ends of formwork ties
will cause damage and reduce productivity.
4. Begin removing clamps from panels in a repetitious
manner. Remove clamps from the panel joint, while
maintaining support of the unbraced / unclamped panel.
Place loose hardware in logical transportation bins and
stack formwork panels and fillers in like groups of ten.

Crane Handling Formwork Gang Assemblies
Crane Handling Formwork Gang Assemblies
Productivity can greatly be increase by assembling the formwork on the ground and crane shifting the equipment
into final position. Careful consideration must be given to this practice, as crane time is typically at a premium rate
on the job site.
1. Plan and locate a stable and level area for your assembly operation. This area should be within reach of the
crane. It is recommended that assembly take place on a flat area such as a concrete slab or an area fitted with 2” x
6” lumber sleepers. Level sleepers should be located at all horizontal panel joints to provide a level surface to clamp
adjacent panels together.
2. Place panels face down closely aligning panel joints. Connect panels together with the proper number of
clamps at each panel joint. Information on clamp requirements can be found on pages 14 to 16.
3. Once your panels are clamped together, continue the operation
by installing your walkway brackets, guardrail posts, lumber planks
and lumber rails.
4. Continue the operation by attaching your bracing components.
The Solo Form brace is telescopic and therefore can easily be moved
as part of the formwork assembly.
Pipe Brace I (7’-6” to 14’-0”)
Pipe Brace II (14’-0” to 21’-0”)
Pipe Brace III (22’-0” to 39’-0”)
5. Prior to moving the formwork, tag lines should be installed on
the formwork assembly. Tag lines are required to keep the job site
personnel safe and productive.
6. In order to lift the formwork assembly, crane hooks must be
used. The Solo Crane Hook has a safe working load of 1600 lb.
Crane Lifting devices should only be installed at a common panel
joints, picking off of the frame profile alone will result in damage
and potential injury.
7. Formwork assemblies should be shifted into position and se-
cured to the footer by affixing the formwork brace and formwork
panel to the footer. The formwork assembly should be plumbed
prior to setting the next section of formwork.

secure the assembly by placing ties thru the tie holes, be sure to affix tie nuts to the ties on both sides of the
wall. Next, secure the base of the formwork assembly to the footer.
9. Take the time to plumb the first gang. Locate the second gang and secure the panel joints with the proper
amount of wedge clamps. The wedge clamp should first be ‘seated’ on the panel joint and then driven tight
with a hammer. The maximum size hammer allowed for clamp connections is 28 oz.
10. Continue erecting the formwork in this manner until your formwork operation is complete. Careful
attention should be given to installing the proper amount of formwork ties. Failure to install the proper num-
ber of ties will result in formwork failure.
11. Careful consideration should be given to areas that have increased pressures on panel joints, such as out-
side corners, panel joints immediately adjacent to outside corners and panel joints immediately adjacent to
formwork bulkheads. Follow the instructions on pages 14 to 16 for safely addressing these areas of concern.

1. Plan and locate a logical starting point for your formwork strip-
ping operation. Careful consideration should be given to the impact of
formwork removal on adjacent formwork and adjacent jobsite opera-
tions. Secure the crane to the formwork assembly you will strip first. Be
sure to use the proper crane lifting device. Specific instructions on the
proper use of the crane handling device is outlined in the next section
of this application guide.
2. Begin the stripping operation by working on the unbraced side of
the wall.Remove all formwork ties. Careful consideration should be
given to removing formwork ties and the impact it may have on un-
braced sections

3. Begin removing clamps at the formwork assembly joints.
Remove clamps from the panel joint, while maintaining support
of the unbraced / unclamped panel. Place loose hardware in logical
transportation bins and stack formwork panels and fillers in like groups
of ten.
4. Break the bond between the concrete and the formwork by use of
wedges and pry bars. Never attempt to break the bond between the
concrete and the formwork with a crane. Attempts to break the bond
with a crane may result in serious injury.
5. Continue to repeat this pattern until all of your formwork has been
cycled to the next location.

90° Corners
There are a number of ways to form 90 de-
gree corners. The Flexible 90 Degree Inside
Corner would be used in most inside corner
applications that require a right angle. The
outside corner panels can be made up of
standard panels and fillers or a multi-pur-
pose panel.

Standard Panels
In order to use standard panels or fillers for
the outside formwork, you will need to have
rigid outside corner angle available on the
job site. The panel or filler dimension will be
dictated by the wall thickness, plus the rigid
corner thickness of 12”. For example, the 90
degree inside corner face is 12” wide, when
added to a 12” wall, you would conclude a
24” outside filler panel is required. In order
to lock the outside corner panels in place,
you will require an outside corner. Pay care-
ful attention to the details given on areas of
increased formwork pressure.

90º Inside Corner Detail
The Solo Form Inside Corner is designed to be
rugged and easy to use. The all steel construction
will stand up to years of job site use. Our inside
corner is 12” x 12” and makes forming corner ap-
plications a snap! It is designed to remain a rigid
corner, until the steel lock-in bars are released.
Once the lock-in bars are released, the corner can
achieve a 1° draft. This flexible feature allows for
easy stripping in corner locations.

For job built wood fillers there are two approaches.
For fillers 0” to 6” the contractor can use the adjust-

drill 13/16” holes and bolt a wood filler using 3/4”
coil rod bolts and nuts.
Note: Minimum of 4” using ad-

Bulkhead Forming Walls
Bulkhead Forming Walls
Bulkheads can be built in a number of ways.
Here are a few of the standard approaches:
1. Utilizing an outside corner on each side of the wall and
clamping in the appropriate filler size for the bulkhead.
2. Utilize job site material and build your own bulkhead
from plywood and lumber. Please note that you will
require a tie in the tie hole directly adjacent to the
bulkhead to resist lateral forces.
3. Utilizing the SOLO Multi-Purpose panel, you can
accommodate various wall thickness. Please see pages
50 to 51 for proper use of the Multi-Purpose panel.

Typical T-Wall Intersection Details
Typical T-Wall Intersection Details
Typical T-Wall intersections can be formed using
the 12” x 12” Inside Corner and the appropriate
opposing panel and ties. If a filler panel or wood
filler is required to make up the dimension, then
it is necessary to wale the joint. In each applica-
tion of this nature, please refer questions to your
SOLO technical representative.

Pilaster Corners
Pilaster Corners
Pilaster details can be formed fast and economi-
cal. The pilaster corner is designed to be used in
conjunction with standard panels or the multi-
purpose panel. The form is designed to hinge on
one side and rotate around the hinge point. Rota-
tion is allowed to happen due to the unique rolled
face of the inside corner. This rotation provides
relief of 3⁄4”. The pilaster form dimensions are 12”
x 8”. The 8” side goes on the pilaster face. Careful
attention should be paid to inserting the pilaster
locking bars prior to concrete placement.

Crane Lift ing
Crane Lifting
The crane hook is designed to lift only Solo Form panels and fillers. This
crane hook locks into place and must be manually release from the form by
releasing the spring loaded latch. The maximum allowable working load on
each crane hook is 1600 pounds.
Always attach the crane hook to the panel joint to prevent any movement of
the crane hook. When panels are on their side, the crane hook may be placed
over the cross member location.
Make sure to balance the crane hook locations and keep the
lifting lines above the 60 degree minimum angle.
• All lifting hardware must be tested and maintained by the contractor
• All gangs must have a tag line attached to guide the formwork into place
• Never stand under or near a gang during lifting
• Never use a the crane hook to lift gang in a horizontal configuration
• Never fly gangs with loose items on formwork
DO NOT Suspend Crane Hook
