4'x8' Radius Cam Lock panel display form the World of Concrete Show. It features wood radius walers top and bottom. Vertical 2x4 studs run from waler to waler along side rows of ties holes. By adding an additional row of ties top and bottom, the panels can easily be stacked using the standard 2x4 clamps.
Gates manufactures 3/4" x 3 1/2" wood walers on their CNC machine, cutting the walers out of a sheet of 3/4" plywood. Two layers of 3/4" are put together to form a 1 1/2 x 3 1/2 radius wood "2x4" waler.
Radius panels are generally manufactured in the contractors shop, taken to the job and the set begins.
Notice the clean perfect radius. Walers can be job cut by the contractor, but most prefer the accuracy of a Gates CNC cut waler.
A large expanse of Cam Lock wood waler forms being set for a job in New Mexico.
Notice the clean radius of the finished concrete. The walers can be cut to tight radii.
