MevaLite

MevaLite is a modular formwork system that can be either handset or
gang formed. It is suitable for use on residential, commercial, industrial
and highway projects.

The panels are composed of closed profile powder coated aluminum
frames and a high grade alkus composite facing that provides an
excellent concrete finish. Panels are connected with the MEVA assembly
lock which results in fast and efficient assembly with no nuts and bolts.

A complete formwork assembly including accessories weighs about 12
psf. Panels are designed for a maximum lateral concrete pressure of 1350
psf when properly supported.

MevaLite panels are available in 4 different heights (9’, 6', 4’, and 3’) and
in 5 different widths (3’, 2’, 1’-6”, 1’-0”, and 6”). In addition, 2’-6" wide
multi-purpose panels are available in each height. These panels have
multi-adjustment profiles for placing ties or column clamps and are ideal
for forming 90° corners, columns, pilasters, and connections to existing
walls.

Introduction

Available accessories include aluminum fillers (1”, 2”, and 3”), inside
corners (12”x12”), outside corners, push-pull props, and walkway
brackets. Threaded nuts built into the panels allow for easy attachment
of accessories.
