One - Sided Systems
One-sided formwork systems can be used in a number of different situations. They work well for retaining walls where lots of support is needed on one side. One-sided formwork systems transfer forces into embedded anchor systems unlike anchor rods with curtain systems. In essence, one-sided formwork systems can self-support and adding extra sections removes any height limitations.

The Full Details
With only six main components and pressure capacity up to 1,250 psf, Backbone is an efficient and cost-effective method for supporting one-sided walls to nearly 30’ in height. This versatile system has multiple stacking and anchoring options and can be used with virtually any forming system. Try Backbone for the deep foundation walls at the start of your mid-rise or high-rise building. Symons One-Sided Forming (OSF) frame transfers the forces through the anchors embedded in the concrete at the foot of the formwork and through the rear pressure jack on the bracket.
