STRUCTURE :
P.ZONE has chosen three types of structures to fit all types of pools according to the nature of each project;
COFFOR, a reinforced concrete type of structure in steel formwork for any shape any dimension.
iGUi, for ready-made monocoque pools for limited sizes.
ILOE, an innovative technology for natural pools and lakes where no concrete or steel is used.
COFFOR
Fiber Glass / IGUI
Gumiloe
Traditional System
Coffor : is a form of a pre-fabricated steel making permanent formwork panels
Each COFFOR panel is composed of:
Rib lath:Expanded metal with rib produced from commercial quality, cold rolled and hot galvanized steel in accordance with ASTM C 847.
C-shaped vertical stiffeners with five ribs, produced from commercial quality cold rolled and hot galvanized steel RS F47 or according to Z 225 norm NF A 38-322 (France) or equivalent. The minimum thickness of the steel is 0.6 mm (1/32″). The C profiles are spaced 200 mm (8″) apart.
Longitudinal rebarare steel Fe 500 (French Norm) or equivalent. Diameter is minimum 5 mm. Elasticity limit is 500 N/mm2, traction strength is 700 N/mm2. The longitudinal rebar are spaced every 200 mm apart.
Connectors are made from steel in coil grade B DIN 17 223 or equivalent. Diameter is 3 mm. The loops are spaced every 400 mm apart.
COFFOR INSULATEDinner panel maybe insulated by replacing the Rib lath with insulation material such as polystyrene or polyurethane.
Standard thicknessof the polystyrene or polyurethane boards is:
40 mm (1 5/8″)
60 mm (2 3/8″)
80 mm (3 1/8″)
Conductivity equal or less than 0.041/m2 K.
Other insulation material is available on request.
Total thickness of the panel will increase by the polystyrene or polyurethane thickness.
COFFOR panels dimensions and weight:
Width
Height
Thickness
Standard straight panel widths are:
Panel heights are order up to 5800 mm (19′)
Once unfolded, standard panel thickness are
1100 mm (44″)
160 mm (6″)
990 mm (36″)
200 mm (8″)
700 mm (28″)
250 mm (10″)
500 mm (20″)
300 mm (12″)
Or Curved panels according to required design
Panels may be delivered with the exterior side higher than the interior side to eliminate edge formwork on site.
Other thickness available on request.
Coffor panelis light: about 12.8 kg/m2 (2.25 lb/sq ft).
Coffor panelcan easily be carried by 1 or 2 workers.
1- Reduces construction time:
Cofforis 2 to 3 times faster than other traditional construction systems.
Possibility to pour a whole floor in one pass: reduces preparation time and eliminates lost time in rotating standard formwork.
Time spent placing thermal insulation is eliminated: coffor insulated already integrates the insulation material – eliminating the necessity to come back to place it.
All types of finishing bond exceptionally well due to the Coffor herringbone rib lath
Anti-cracking welded wire is no longer necessary: given the presence of the C profile, the rib lath, their proper bonding to the concrete and their respective steel section, the anti-cracking welded wire (a requirement with traditional waterproof formwork) is eliminated. In addition, the rapid elimination of excess water decreases concrete shrinkage, dramatically reducing the occurrence of cracks
Time is saved building slabs/floors:using Coffor with the external sides higher than internal sides eliminates the need to remove them after the slab is poured. It is possible to place the forms of the upper slab before the concrete pour of the walls.
Coffor is compatible with any type of floor;hollow core slab, prefabricated slab or cast in place full concrete slab. Single Coffor panels are also used for slabs. This allows a total uniformity in material used on the site and it eliminates all possible risks of shortage of hollow core material or plywood
Construction shutdowns due to weather conditions are reduced:
Work can continue in high winds without a crane.
Work can continue in low temperatures as the rapid elimination off excess water reduces occurrence of ice formation.
Construction speed is increased only by adding unskilled labor, contrary to other traditional systems whom depend on skilled labor and availability of plywood and steel formwork.
2- Simple to use:
Every step of the construction process is simplified:
• Placement, alignment, bracing.
• Setting of openings.
• Rebar insertion (if necessary).
• Service conduit penetration.
• Concrete pour.
Workers are trained on the Coffor technology in just 2-3 days (immediately on site).
Easy rebar insertion(when necessary):
• Grouped in pairs, vertical rebar are inserted from the top into the axis of the C profiles.
• Horizontal rebar are then slid between the C profiles and vertical rebar.
Construction mistakes are reduced: since Coffor is transparent, it is much easier to control the quantity; quality and placement of rebar and service conduits before and during the pour. Coffor eliminates the risk of void under window openings, eliminating the need to re-do a pour. Occurrence of cracks and waterproofing defects are reduced.
No specific tools are requiredapart from those generally available on all construction sites such as gloves, hammers, shears, electric saws, pliers, plumb lines, steel wire, tubes, light planks, ladders, etc..
Security is improved: heavy and cumbersome objects are no longer necessary as light steel tubes or wood planks are sufficient. Risk of accidents due to unsteady heavy shoring or crane falls are eliminated.
COFFOR is 7 times less than the equivalence in bricks, concrete blocks or Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF).
3- Earthquake resistant:
Coffor builds shear walls and shear core that provide earthquake resistant structures.With the looping effect of the rebar connecting the grids, the structures built in with Coffor are of a superior quality than those of other traditional systems.
Shear wall design is the best method to provide optimum safety against natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, etc
Connections between walls and floorsare efficient with continuity rebar. Concrete can be poured simultaneously in the wall and upper floor to improve the monolithic concrete structure.
Cofforacts as ductile frames, distorting progressively and retaining resistance capacity prior to failure. Rupture will not occur in a brittle manner.
4- Improves concrete quality:
Concrete qualityis improved with Coffor by the rapid and natural elimination of excess water from the concrete. Problems linked to bleeding, water rise, shrinkage, creep, increased porosity and concrete ageing are for the most part eliminated.
Tests made in France at the C.S.T.B.indicate that the rapid elimination of excess water inCoffor results in:
8-10% greater compression strength.
30% higher elastic modules.
10 times lower (2µ vs. 25µ) concrete shrinkage.
25% greater tensile strength.
After Coffor panel is placed, concrete is poured inside. Excess water is eliminated by gravity through the grids. The fluid concrete becomes semi-solid decreasing pressure against the grids. This explains why Coffor panel can be so light compared to traditional heavy waterproof formworks.
5- Multiple creative possibilities
Creativity is not limited by technical constraints: the flexibility of Coffor panels allows any type of architecture including sloping/radius walls or roofs, blind walls, etc. Adaptation of the panels to non-repetitive designs or even last-minute changes directly on-site are easy as the rib lath can be cut with a simple hand-shear or circular saw. Small projects are realized cost-effectively since the cost of designing and producing special sheeting is eliminated.
The grids, connected by articulated rebar loops that fold for cost effective transport.
The volume used by
Coffor panelremains in the construction to reinforce it after the concrete is poured
Coffor panel is primarily used for building walls in all types of construction.
There is no limitation of wall height or number of floors.
6- Environment friendly
Coffor technologyhelps protect nature, reduces the depletion of natural resources and saves energy.
Forests are preservedas the intensive consumption of wood is reduced. Pollution brought about by the burning or dumping of wood debris from construction sites is decreased
Potentially polluting oil to clean metal sheeting is eliminated.
Use of bricks is decreased;reducing the amount of natural resources used as well as the energy to make them (China has banned the use of the bricks for this reason).
The external placement of thermal insulation provided by Coffor INSULATEDmakes it far more efficient than bricks in eliminating cold bridges, saving heating and air conditioning energy.
Cofforbuilds concrete structures that last and do not require maintenance and repairs like other construction systems (wood, bricks, etc.).
