KWIKSTAGE Access & Falsework

Our Experience & Expertise

Kwikstage is one of the most universally established scaffolds throughout the world. Used for access and
falsework applications, it’s the inherent simplicity that makes Kwikstage a versatile, efficient and cost
effective alternative to traditional loose props and tube & fitting scaffolds.

It’s the result of over 60 years of experience gained on major projects throughout the world. What’s more,
our network of local branches means when you deal with RMD Kwikform, you talk to people who
understand the working environment, technical difficulties and challenges facing you.

The RMD Kwikstage system can be broken up into two main categories of use throughout South
Africa:

a) Access Scaffolding Application

b) Falsework Applications

Bracing & Lacing

Bracing

Bracing is used to afford stability (avoid sway or sideways movement) for the falsework and
formwork.

It is installed to transfer horizontal forces to the ground or to stable permanent structures.

These horizontal forces may be transferred from bracing to other member (such as Kwikstage
Ledgers, lacing etc.) which in turn transfer the forces to other braced bays of supportwork.

The forces resisted by bracing can result from:

Wind
Water
Erection tolerances such as Standards erected out of plumb
Concrete pressures and placing of concrete
Movement (workers, dumpers….)
Permanent structures

The following must be taken into consideration:

The location of the site

Terrain (exposure to wind)
The face area of the falsework and formwork
The method of placing concrete
Stability offered from existing structures

The bracing is usually comprised of scaffold tube and couplers.

For bracing to be most effective it is fixed to the Standards.
In system support work, the bracing should be fixed to the Standards, at 45 degrees, within a
maximum of 150mm from the node point.

Bracing should be installed as the falsework is erected.

This will:

Afford stability to the falsework at each erection phase and create a safe temporary
structure for the site workers.

Assist with the correct positioning/vertically of the components.

All braces to be installed as per RMDK Drawings.
