The component used in all these solutions is the WALER MK. Its design and the proper accessories make it possible for the system MK to give such different configurations. ENKOFORM VMK is a vertical formwork designed for vertical building (non-residential and residential building) and civil engineering (piers).
ENKOFORM VMK ENKOFORM VMK 1.1. CONCEPT OF THE SYSTEM The main feature of this system is its unlimited flexibility. This system offers to assemble the PANELS depending on the: Shape: This system enables assemble customized PANELS with the needed dimensions, always with standard components.

Configuration of a PANEL for a 30 kN/m2 concrete pressure. In contrast to modular PANELS such as ORMA, ENKOFORM VMK PANELS of both sides do not need The main advantage of this system is that PANELS to be the same. Therefore, the solutions for corners, will be assembled with the required shape.
ENKOFORM VMK ENKOFORM VMK 2.2. ELEMENTS DESCRIPTION 2.2.1 PANEL IN DETAIL The unit element of the system is the PANEL. Although this system formed many components, the unit of the system will be the PANEL. The placement of some PANELS next to each other will make possible to adjust to the required geometry of the wall.
