COFRESA

COFRESA, is a family business that has been 50 years on the in the sector of manufacturing formwork, offering a wide range of highly differentiated and competitive formwork, which today are introduced in a variety of countries with a large acceptance.

COFRESA began the activity in 1963 as “Talleres Biota” (Biota Workshops) dedicated to the boiler works and the locksmith and manufacturing the first formwork panels at that time.

In 1982 the company was renamed “Cofres Metalicos, S.A.” (COFRESA), and in this year launched to the market the “Light Range”, light panels to make pillars or small walls, still today an unique and differentiated range.

COFRESA has been the first Spanish manufacturer of “Braces” for the realization of one sided-walls, the first Spanish manufacturer of the “Heavy Range” the full-metal range for walls, and the “Super-Light Range” made by aluminum and a phenolic panel for walls, etc.

In conclusion, COFRESA is a company with an extensive experience in the market, since 1963 has continued to evolve with its main assets, customers and employees, innovating and offering the best formwork solutions for any need on site.

The seriousness, accuracy and efficiency in our work, has enabled us to face and overcome all the vicissitudes of these 50 year career together.

COFRESA , is synonymous with success, effort, performance, innovation, overcoming, our customers support us in this process.

PRODUCTS RANGE: COFRESA

LIGHT RANGE. A handled metal formwork system (it was designed for not using crane, weight 30 kg/m2), for the realization of small walls and pillars.

The system is composed of panels (flat and semicircular panels) joined by the bolt attached to the panel and the key (woodruff and flat key).

Key Features:
1. The panels withstand pressures up 30kN/m2.
2. Modulation of panels: Standard widths for the Light Range from 250 to 500mm (every 50mm ) for the Reinforced Light Range, of 600 and 750mm., with several heights 1.250, 1.500, 2.600, 2.700 and 3.000mm. For Circular Formworks, the diameters ranging from 250 mm, every 50 mm, and heights 1.000, 1.500 and 3.000mm.
The panels can be supplemented each other to reach 4.5 meters high.
3. Versatile Range, with a minimum number of accessories, the panels can be assembled for formworking a low wall or a pillar.
4. Simple and fast closing: Woodruff key that is inserted into the bolt through a hammer.
5. Rounded edges in the reinforcements of the panel, favors the self-cleaning, and the minimum maintenance.
6. Symmetrical panels, have no hand.

Area of applicability for the Light Range:
• Pillars may be square, rectangular, oval or semi-oval section. The measures obtained are:
o Standard Light Range: from 250x250 to 450x450mm,
o Reinforced Light Range: from 350x350 to 700x700mm.
• It also provides a solution to sized pillars and party walls (against existing walls)
• One-sided Wall (3 meters).
• Two sided-Wall (up to 4.5 meters).

HEAVY RANGE. And all-metal complete modular formwork system for walls and large pillars. To work with cranes.

The system consists of screens, joined by clamps, having elements and accessories that solve all kinds of geometries quickly, efficiently, safely and without having to improvise.

Key Features:
1. The screens support pressures up to 70kN/m2.
2. Modulation of screens (check any other measure): widths from 200 to 1000mm (every 100mm.) and 3 heights 1000, 1500 and 3000mm.
3. Robust Range:
• Sheet thickness: 3 mm.
• Profiles frame: 100x50x2 (Slotted), the profile is jammed in both directions, to prevent deformation when joining several screens or passing the tie bar.
• Transversal profiles (Reinforcements): 100X50X2 and 80X40X2.
• Cast Iron Corners, reinforcing the corners of the screen, absorb blows and prevent damage due to the incorrect use of formwork, extending the life of the product.
4. Versatile Range, due to:
• Slot into perimeter frame.
• Jammed holes in perimeter frame.
They allow to have the screens vertically or horizontally, formworking quickly, providing solutions to closures, corners or pillars.
5. Low-cost maintenance.
6. The joints between screens are made through the clamps, activated with just one hammer blow at any point on the perimeter. Enabling not only the joining of the screens, but also the alignment and stiffening of the ensemble. It's just necessary two of them for formwork heights up to 3 meters.
For joints with supplements, the extendable clamp is used

Areas of applicability for the Heavy Range:
• One-sided Wall (up 6 meters).
• Two-sided Wall.
• Sloping Wall.
• Polygonal Wall.
• Walls in unevenness.
• Foundations.
• Lifts shafts.
• Corners at 90 ° or other angle (from 70 ° to 150 °).
• Covers for walls.
• Projecting Walls.
• ‘T’ Wall
• ‘Z’ Wall
• Climbing Wall.
• Square, rectangular, circular, oval and semi-oval pillars.
By the Wall-Pillar screen, can be made section pillars in concrete from 250x250 to 850x 850.

GIGA. An all-metal formwork system for walls. To work with cranes.

It was designed thinking of reducing the execution times (formworking and stripping).
A large size screen, compatible with the screens and accessories of the Heavy Range, which is joined by clamps, and requires only 4 tie bars in three meters high (6 square meters of formwork surface).

• Good support for boards (35 mm).
• Self-cleaning: to prevent the concrete is deposited on it.
• Reinforced Stubs (absorb shocks due to formwork stripping) extend the useful life of the profile.
• Measurements, 3 lengths: 1.000, 3.000mm. and extendible.
4. Distribution Profile: It’s the profile that determines the Shoring Profile position, and keeps it at the desired distance; it’s placed perpendicular to it. Lengths: 2.000 and 4.000mm.
