Unispan is a leading provider of innovative formwork and shoring systems for the construction industry. With a strong presence in the U.S. market, the company delivers engineered solutions tailored to commercial, residential, industrial, and infrastructure projects of all scales.
Unispan offers a diverse lineup of formwork systems designed for efficiency, flexibility, and durability on the job site. From modular panel systems to custom circular and column formworks, their product range caters to a wide array of construction needs.
The Steel-Ply forming system is a versatile solution ideal for both commercial and residential concrete wall construction. Its pre-engineered, reusable panels are suited for handset or gang form applications, making it a strong choice for contractors aiming to reduce labor and material costs. Steel-Ply can accommodate walls of nearly any shape or size, thanks to a wide range of compatible accessories for corners, openings, and unique architectural features. Whether used for foundations, retaining walls, or structural cores, this system offers greater productivity and cost-efficiency compared to traditional job-built plywood forms or less adaptable forming methods.
Duraclamp wall forms are ideal for small to mid-sized construction projects where crane access is limited or unavailable. Their lightweight, modular design—featuring a galvanized steel frame and Alkus composite face—makes them perfect for handset operations in tight or difficult-to-access areas. Common applications include foundation walls, retaining walls, and basement construction. Assembled quickly using only two hammer clamps per joint, the system allows for fast cycling with minimal labor and no special tools. With a maximum form pressure of 1,350 lbs per square foot, Duraclamp offers strength and reliability while maintaining the flexibility needed for efficient on-site performance.
The Magnum system is a high-performance solution designed for large-scale concrete pours where speed, strength, and minimal labor are priorities. Its oversized modular panels—measuring approximately 80 square feet—are ideal for use in high-rise buildings, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects. Designed for use with lifting equipment, Magnum allows fast setup and alignment with only two ties per panel joint and three aligning clamps. The panels can be positioned vertically or horizontally, and assembled flat or upright. With a high pour pressure capacity of 1,350 lbs./sq. ft., and compatibility with Circa-Flex and Dura-Clamp, Magnum ensures efficient forming on demanding job sites.
The Circa-Flex system is ideal for forming curved concrete structures in infrastructure, industrial, and architectural projects. Its modular vertical frames, reinforced with adjustable ribs, allow for precise control of curvature, making it especially suitable for tanks, silos, wastewater treatment facilities, and decorative walls. With the ability to reach heights up to 20 feet through modular combinations, it supports both large and small-scale applications. Circa-Flex is engineered for repeated use without deformation, ensuring long-term value. It integrates seamlessly with Unispan’s straight wall forming systems and climbing or rollback brackets, offering flexibility and efficiency on complex, radius-based concrete pours.
Unispan’s column formwork systems are ideal for commercial, residential, and infrastructure projects requiring round, square, or rectangular concrete columns. Round column forms—constructed with two heavy-duty semi-circular panels—offer fast assembly using bolt connections, making them perfect for architectural features or structural supports. Available in steel or fiberglass, these forms ensure durability and smooth finishes. Square and rectangular forms, using standard panels, are cost-effective and well-suited for repetitive column designs found in parking garages, podiums, and office buildings. Adjustable push-pull props in three sizes simplify alignment and bracing, allowing contractors to save time and maintain precision on site.
The Aluminum Beam Gang Forming System is ideal for a variety of mid- to large-scale concrete projects that demand versatility and efficiency. It performs exceptionally well in applications such as multi-story residential buildings, commercial structures, and architectural walls with complex geometries. Unlike conventional systems limited to flat surfaces, it allows for the forming of corners, pilasters, core walls, and even curved elements with ease. Its lightweight yet rigid design—thanks to high-strength aluminum beams, steel walers, and unique attachment clips—makes it a practical choice for projects requiring reduced crane dependency, faster setup times, and consistent form quality across diverse configurations.
Project specialists model pour pressures, panel counts, and shoring loads early, producing a safe, cost-optimized formwork plan that trims labor and keeps schedules tight.
In-house engineers deliver detailed layouts and material lists; optional P.E.-stamped drawings accelerate approvals and guarantee every gang, tie, and brace meets code before shipment.
Unispan is ideal for contractors, developers, and construction managers seeking durable and adaptable formwork systems backed by technical expertise. Whether you’re working on a large infrastructure project or a mid-rise residential build, Unispan’s wide-ranging products and engineering support make it a trusted partner for safe and efficient concrete construction.
Modular Circa-Flex frames with screw-adjusted ribs shaped a seamless circular clarifier wall, achieving tight radii and 20-foot lifts with almost no panel reshoring across successive pours.
Handset Duraclamp panels built a confined foundation wall; two hammer clamps per joint sped daily cycling, and the Alkus composite face left a smooth, paint-ready concrete surface.
