TITAN HV is designed to allow the early removal of form facing material without loosening or disturbing shores in accordance with ACI Recommendations*. This process is enabled by a unique, quick-release Drophead. Aluminum framing members can typically be removed just one or two days after the pour. In addition, up to 2/3 of the plywood can be recovered early and reused. This early removal feature yields significant cost savings in equipment and plywood costs.
*See ACI: Part 3, Section 301, Paragraph 2.3.2.5

Stripping Process

• Release the Drophead with a hammer stroke.
• Begin taking down the Secondary Beams and stacking them in the Barellas (carts).
• Recover the Main Beams and stack them in the Barellas.
• The unrestrained plywood can now be stripped and reused.
• Roll the Barellas to a new work area and begin the erection process with an additional
  set of Post Shores.
• Post Shores, and all remaining plywood, can be recovered only after a stripping release is obtained.
