Process
Wall Erection
Installation of AFS RediWall® begins with the installation of the floor track or floor angle, which is typically fastened to the slab or footing with masonry anchors or a masonry nail gun. Erection of AFS RediWall® components usually starts at a corner. A corner unit connector is installed with a few panels and joiners, which are erected at each side of the corner. The corner is then braced and checked to ensure that it is plumb prior to proceeding.
Erection proceeds along one wall to the next corner by vertically sliding adjacent components together. The components are placed tight into the floor track or against the floor angle on the foundation or slab and are braced.
Bracing
AFS RediWall® requires temporary bracing for lateral stability during the concrete core fill. Alternatively, timber can be used for bracing.
Concrete Core Fill
After the installation process is complete and bracing is secured the panels are then core filled with concrete using concrete pumping methods – typically using a boom pump.
The concrete walls are then ready to perform as a load bearing structure for the next floor slab or roof structure.
Completed Walls
The bright and clean surface of the AFS RediWall ® panels offers a serviceable, low maintenance finish that does not require further treatment.
