Paschal Group, Germany’s international provider of formwork systems, will introduce its latest range of concrete formwork at gulfBID 2016.

GulfBID in 2016, which celebrates its 10th anniversary as the GCC’s annual expo for construction and building materials, is set at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre, with the support of Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al-Khalifa, prime minister of Bahrain, from April 26-28.

Paschal Group, started in Steinach, Baden, Germany, has grown to cover 40 countries around the world, specializing in concrete formworks, support systems and formwork planning software.

“Paschal introduces its modular column formwork (MCF) product that supports the use of reinforced concrete frame construction. Our product will be launched for the first time at gulfBID 2016,” says Amir Delghandi, GM, Paschal’s branch in Bahrain.

“GulfBID, which takes place in Bahrain, at the heart of the Gulf’s construction trading with Saudi Arabia, is the perfect platform to launch the MCF to the Middle East’s construction sectors to target a wider exposure to the northern Gulf market,” Delghandi added.

The MCF system is designed for builders to form square or rectangular reinforced concrete columns with external dimensions from 20 to 50 cm in increments of 5 cm.

Additional adjustments are able to be applied through column edges, chamfer angles of sealing strips inserted in the corners of the formwork.

The height of the modular column panels can be extended through fastening them one below the other using keybolts.

“Paschal Group has leadership in German innovation in the construction industry. The introduction of the MCF systems presented by Paschal Group, Bahrain branch at gulfBID shows the high value proposition that the regions construction and building materials show has for the construction sector,” says Jubran Abdulrahman, MD, HCE, organizer.

Paschal also provides custom formworks from wood to steel.
