One of its special features is that by using the gravity pawl bracket and the different ULMA walers it is possible to cover a wide range of spans in this kind of internal hollows.
KSP SHAFT PLATFORM 2.2. ELEMENTS DESCRIPTION 2.2.4. Adjustable slab bracket (0306059) It is used in those cases where one side of the platform 2.2.1. Gravity Pawl Bracket (0306032) is supported on an existing slab. This is the basic element of this system. It is used to support the platform on the wall.

Plate 250x250x4 (0306005) It is installed from the internal formwork face keeping It is a distribution plate on which the different screw jacks rest. It allows better sliding and moving of these in mind that a hole of 155x205 is needed on the panel plywood.
KSP SHAFT PLATFORM 3. Assembly, Use and Disassembly 3.1. MAIN PLATFORM 3.1.1. Gravity pawl bracket and Adjustable bracket The first step in the KSP platform assembly is to fix the Gravity Pawl Brackets, the Adjustable Brackets or the Short Gravity Pawls on the waler. 0250000 0252070 The connection is done by two E20x70 pins with their...

KSP SHAFT PLATFORM 3.1.2. Walers positioning Once the brackets are assembled on the walers, the next operation consists of positioning the walers. In order to do it properly, some timber planks should be used to support the set, preventing the Gravity pawl from touching the floor.
KSP SHAFT PLATFORM It is recommended to adjust the board taking into account that the distance from its edge to the wall will be approximately 50mm. These chains are directly fixed on the waler by a E20x70 pin (this pin will be an extra pin different to the ones used to fix the Gravity pawl bracket).
Page 14
KSP SHAFT PLATFORM 3.2.1. GP Box Out: To be able to insert the main platform into the shaft, pawl brackets have to be previously folded. The best way is to tie the mobile part of the pawl to the waler using cords.
KSP SHAFT PLATFORM 3.2.2. Folding bracket After the first pouring formwork panels are stripped off; the Folding Bracket can be fixed to these cones embedded in the concrete wall with an M24x80 bolt. Once the Folding brackets are fixed to the cones in the wall and as they stand out of the wall, the main platform can be inserted in the shaft and left resting through the Adjustable brackets of the platform on...

KSP SHAFT PLATFORM There are three different connection types between main platform and cone recovery platform: • Connection by BRIO standards • Connection by push-pull props E • Connection by DW15 tie rods • Connection by BRIO standards: BRIO HEAD/DU and BRIO scaffolding standards are In these cases the best option is to preassemble BRIO used for this solution: HEAD/DU on the main and cone recovery platforms.

KSP SHAFT PLATFORM 3.4. FORMWORK PANELS POSITIONING The formwork panels’ vertical adjustment is done by fixing two levelling jacks at the bottom of each gang. There are 4 different types of jacks depending on formwork type, all of them are driven by a 24 wrench •...
KSP SHAFT PLATFORM 3.4.3. Levelling jack TR35x5/ORMA The usual bracing way is with two of these push-pull prop sets per gang. It is recommended to place all It is used for levelling ORMA formwork panels. It is inclined push-pull props in one set parallel to each fixed to the panel rib with a 20x85 pin and an R/4 other in order to facilitate the set’s plumbing.

KSP SHAFT PLATFORM 3.6.2. Separately Each formwork system must be used with its corresponding approved lifting The formwork and the platform are not connected, hook so finally they move independently. 3.6.1. Complete set Formwork is connected to the main platform by chains.
KSP SHAFT PLATFORM 4. Solutions 4.1. MAIN PLATFORM SUPPORTS When climbing with KSP platforms, it is necessary to provide supports for the platforms on the wall. This support can be created by leaving a cavity in the wall It is very important to guarantee a where brackets can rest (BOX-OUT solution) or fixing minimum support of 50mm an articulated bracket on the wall with embedded...

KSP SHAFT PLATFORM The Folding Bracket must be correctly fixed to the wall and the minimum support of the Adjustable Bracket must be 50mm The stability of the platform should always be When using this box-out, it is necessary to drill a verified in the worst case (platform moved to the top 205x155 hole in the formwork panel.

KSP SHAFT PLATFORM 4.1.2. GP box out The box is placed from the concrete face of the formwork and fastened with a short pin 0.35m and hexagonal nut 15. To do so, a 18mm hole has to be drilled through the plywood. This part remains in the concrete and only removing the short pin 0,35m and stripping the formwork a few millimetres from the wall, the formwork set can be...
KSP SHAFT PLATFORM Exag. Nut DW15 Plate Washer Nut 15 For this solution, it should be kept in mind that the Folding bracket stands out of the wall approximately Push-Pull Prop E 100 mm. This is the reason why for lifting the set, the formwork has to be rolled-back at least 100-150 mm.
KSP SHAFT PLATFORM 4.3. ADJUSTABLE SLAB SUPPORT This solution can be applied in those cases where there is an already poured slab. One side of the platform is supported on the slab. For these cases MK-120, MK-180, DU-100 or DU-120 walers can be used.
KSP SHAFT PLATFORM 5. Features 5.1. MAIN PLATFORM – GEOMETRY For main platform lay-out, a minimum 50 mm gap between the edge of the plywood and the wall has to be considered due to possible concrete imperfections. 5.2. HOLLOW LENGTHS 5.2.1.

KSP SHAFT PLATFORM Depending on the loads (see point 5.3) and hollow lengths, DU-100, MK-120, DU-120 or MK-180 walers should be chosen. Hollow lengths covered by the different walers with Gravity Pawl Brackets are: DU-100 DU-120 MK-120 MK-180 HOLLOW HOLLOW HOLLOW HOLLOW WALER...
Page 28
KSP SHAFT PLATFORM For smaller hollows, where it is impossible to use the GRAVITY PAWL, SHORT GRAVITY PAWL should be used taking into account the following dimensions: M20 bolts have to be used instead of E20x70 pins when MK-0.5, MK-0.625, MK-0.75, MK- 0.875 profiles or waler DU-120/0.7 are used.
