Formwork System Concept The Beton Baspar Universal Formwork System is designed for simplicity and ease of use. It is easy to assemble and transport, which increases productivity, improves working conditions, and reduces the environmental impact.All panels are reusable and require minimal maintenance. This system minimizes the environmental footprint since every panel is designed and manufactured for multiple uses, and the components are extremely easy to clean and store. Lightweight and Ergonomic Plastics are among the most versatile materials and are now used in nearly every industrial sector. Choosing the right polymer and applying precise engineering lead to remarkable results.Our company has succeeded in bringing all the advantages of ABS formwork technology into the construction industry. Lightweight Design User-friendly tools are safer, easier to handle, and more efficient. It is a known fact that repeatedly lifting heavy equipment leads to fatigue and potential injury.Our Baspar Panel formwork system weighs, on average, 15 kilograms per square meter, and no single component weighs more than 11 kilograms.This means the entire system can always be handled manually — under any working condition. Crane operations are no longer required, making construction sites far more flexible without any compromise in health and safety. Transportation Thanks to its lightweight and modular design, the storage and logistics of the Baspar Panel Formwork System are extremely simple.Humidity and water have no effect on the panels, so no dry-storage conditions are required. The low weight of the system eliminates the need for cranes or truck-mounted lifting equipment, greatly simplifying logistics. Fast Assembly A well-engineered formwork system should be quick and simple to use.Formwork made from injection-molded ABS employs a smart design to accomplish tasks with the smallest possible number of components.Its lightweight structure and simplicity significantly improve speed and efficiency. Different shapes and sizes of formwork elements can be easily assembled, requiring only minimal use of wooden fillers. Simple and Efficient Productivity is a key factor wherever concrete is poured.Whenever manual operation is the best option, lightweight and fast formwork dramatically improves speed and efficiency compared to traditional metal or timber formwork systems. Strength ABS is a highly durable polymer, resistant to impact and abrasion.The Baspar Panel Formwork System withstands pressures up to 80 kN/m². The excellent thermal stability of ABS is key to its usability in both hot and cold climates.Years of experience have shown that when properly handled, a Baspar Panel Formwork can be used for over 100 casting cycles. Easy Release Concrete does not adhere to the smooth ABS surface, which makes plastic formwork systems extremely easy to clean — simply by washing with water, without the need for detergents.Although release agents are not strictly required, water-based form oil may be used if desired. Fast cleaning means faster equipment turnaround.Time is the most valuable commodity on a construction site — and this system optimizes the concrete casting cycle. Modularity The elements of the Baspar Panel Formwork System are fully modular, designed to be combined in countless configurations to suit the specific requirements of each construction site. Panels are highly precise in size and shape, completely interchangeable, and use a universal locking mechanism, which reduces the overall number of components required to assemble a complete formwork system. Sustainability An environmentally responsible approach to product design is essential.ABS formwork panels are durable, long-lasting, and 100% recyclable at the end of their service life — allowing the material to be reprocessed into new formwork products of similar quality.

Waffle Formwork In today’s construction industry, the use of modern structural systems to reduce costs, improve the quality of architectural plans, and enhance the seismic performance of buildings has become more important than ever. To select a suitable structural system, it is initially necessary to have a structural floor with diaphragm performance according to Standard 2800, among which one can consider beam-slab floors, two-way waffle slabs, and one-way waffle slabs. Of course, with proper implementation of joist-light form floors and the ability to model this type of floor in relevant software, it is possible to achieve a floor with appropriate performance. When did Beton Baspar Sanat Company start producing waffle formwork? Accordingly, Beton Baspar Sanat Company, considering the country’s needs and the increasing progress of construction engineering in our beloved country, initiated the production of two-way and one-way waffle formwork. Around the year 2011 (1390 in the Iranian calendar), when the first waffle floors were designed and constructed in Tehran, Beton Baspar Sanat, in collaboration with structural and architectural designers, including Mr. Farzad Deliri, began producing two-way waffle formwork measuring 60×60 cm with a height of 30 cm, and 90×90 cm waffle formwork with heights of 30 and 40 cm. In Chapter 9 of the National Building Regulations, a section is dedicated to slabs and floors with two-way joist performance, which must be considered when producing two-way waffle formwork. The most important point in this regulation is that the free distance between two waffle joists should not exceed 75 cm, which has not been observed in some types of waffle formwork produced in the market. Why should waffle slabs be used? What is the role of waffle formwork in waffle slabs? Waffle slabs, as a modern and efficient system with two-way load distribution and two-way performance, have gained a special place in construction projects. Due to their grid-like and honeycomb appearance, two-way load transfer capability, and reduction of dead load, waffle slabs have become an attractive and widely used option among structural designers. According to various international codes such as ACI 318 and Eurocode 2, waffle slabs, in addition to increasing structural stiffness, significantly save concrete and steel compared to beam-slab systems of the same thickness. This feature has made the waffle slab system, together with appropriate waffle formwork, applicable in large international projects as well as in various medium- and small-scale urban buildings.

The main goal was to achieve a system capable of covering longer spans (column-to-column distances of around 10 meters or more) without the need for heavy beams. The first projects using waffle formwork and waffle slabs included multi-story parking structures and commercial buildings, which faced limitations with traditional beam sizes defined by regulations. With the advancement of formwork technology and the introduction of lightweight plastic and fiberglass forms, various waffle formworks such as 60×60, 75×75, 80×80, and 90×90 cm with different heights for various span lengths were rapidly adopted in large projects such as airports, shopping centers, sports halls, and high-rise buildings. In Iran, waffle slabs have been introduced over the past two decades and are now widely used in modern construction projects, including office complexes, cultural centers, and luxury residential buildings. What is a Waffle Slab? (Waffle Slab Definition) A waffle slab, or two-way ribbed slab, consists of a series of intersecting joists arranged regularly in two perpendicular directions. The voids between the joists are formed by temporary waffle formwork, which can have various dimensions. Today in Iran, there is high demand for 80×80 cm waffle formwork with a height of 28 cm and 60×60 cm waffle formwork with heights of 25 and 30 cm. The spacing between waffle forms usually ranges from 10 to 20 cm and is selected based on the span and column-to-column distances in the architectural plan. Designing waffle slabs using waffle formwork allows: Reduction of slab weight Transfer of loads in two directions Increased flexural stiffness and overall system strength Easier passage for mechanical and electrical installations Advantages of Waffle Slabs Material Savings:By removing concrete in non-essential areas (tensile regions of the waffle slab), the volume of concrete used is reduced, and construction costs are approximately 20–30% lower than flat slabs. This feature not only contributes to economic savings but also results in a lighter slab with a lighter foundation. Long Span Coverage:This system can cover spans of up to 15 meters or more without large suspended beams, while flat slabs typically cover only 6–8 meters. This capability is crucial for commercial and industrial projects requiring open, column-free spaces. Dead Load Reduction:Removing excess concrete lightens the slab and improves the building’s seismic performance, which is particularly important in earthquake-prone areas. Architectural Beauty and Exposed Ceilings:The underside of the slab is a regular grid, which in many projects serves as the final ceiling without additional finishing. This feature is highly valued in the design of auditoriums, cultural centers, and modern commercial buildings. Ease of Installation for Services:The voids between joists provide a suitable path for pipes, cables, and other utilities, reducing the need for separate channels or additional openings. Durability and Longevity:With proper design and execution, waffle slabs can remain functional for decades with minimal maintenance. Disadvantages of Waffle Slabs and Waffle Formwork Requires precise formwork and substructure Relatively longer construction time compared to flat slabs Needs skilled personnel for correct reinforcement placement between waffle forms and proper positioning of shear studs Initial cost of waffle formwork is […]
