CONSTRUCTION COMPANY RELIES on new NeoR lightweight formwork from PASCHAL to build new apartment building in Kleefeld, Hanover. A five­storey apartment building, complete with un­ derground car park, is The new NeoR lightweight formwork from currently in progress as an PASCHAL is used as formwork for the inner city infill site in stairwell and lift core. Kleefeld, Hanover. A total of 11 modern condominiums with high­quality fittings are being erected, while its architectural features ensure that the building itself blends seamlessly into the surrounding residential area. The developer for the project is WBK Wohnbau Konzept Hannover GmbH. To manufacture the reinforced concrete structures for the basement and ground floor, WBK Wohnbau Konzept Hannover GmbH is relying on three different formwork systems from PASCHAL. LOGO.3 and TTR in combined use of formwork The LOGO.3 wall formwork system was rented out in combination with the TTR Circular trapezoidal girder formwork to form the basement walls together with the entrance to the underground car park.PASCHAL supplied the LOGO.3 wall formwork with a formwork height of 270 cm to produce the straight wall sections. The circular ramp and basement walls were completed using the TTR Circular trapezoidal girder formwork. Due to the infill site, some of the formwork had to be single­ sided in order to be formed against existing buildings. PASCHAL supporting jacks were used to safely dissipate the pressure of the concrete and lifting forces in the ground.

NeoR lightweight formwork impresses The new NeoR lightweight formwork was chosen for the staircase and lift core, instead of the wooden formwork that had been originally planned. With approximately 183 m² of NeoR lightweight formwork with different panel widths and a formwork height of 150 cm, WBK Wohnbau Konzept Hannover GmbH is now fully equipped for a wide range of formwork constructions – whether to build foun­dations, beams, columns or walls. The system can be further extended with the NeoR large­size panel 180 x 300 cm to form large sur­faces quickly and economically. NeoR lightweight formwork: light, functional and robust The new NeoR lightweight formwork system from PASCHAL combines the benefits of the proven Modular/GE universal formwork and of the LOGO.3 wall formwork system, while at the same time offering all the system properties of modern lightweight formwork. In addition to the reduced maximum weight of only 40 kg, the formwork panels convinced through significantly higher fresh concrete pressure absorption of 50kN/m², compared to the Modular/GE universal formwork.
