GEOTUB is a reusable formwork in plastic for the production of round columns.
GEOTUB is a reusable formwork in plastic for the production of round columns: unlike other formwork (in wood or cardboard), it is easy and quick to dismantle.
The GEOTUB is particularly suited to build columns when working in presence of water, which can make the work difficult and complicated. In this case, the use of GEOTUB is the only possible solution since it is made of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). In fact, this material, compared to cardboard and steel, does not suffer from degradation due to natural weathering. Moreover, thanks to its lightness and modularity, the work of the labourers are much easier even in difficult situations such as those mentioned above.

Cleaning and Maintenance Information
After every use, cleanse the panels with water (preferably with a pressure washer). Any deposit of concrete should be removed with a spatula or a wire brush.
In order to facilitate the handling and lifting of the panels and all accessories, store them on pallets or battens to keep them off the ground. Although the product does not suffer weathering, it is preferable to store the panels in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
