Abstract

The present invention concerns a shuttering ( 100 ) for the formation of a wall or similar, comprising a first wall formwork device ( 10 ) of an insulating material and a second wall formwork device ( 20 ), which are formed to be arranged in parallel so that a space (x) is formed between them intended to be filled with flowing concrete. A number of form ties ( 30 ) are arranged to connect the first and second wall formwork devices ( 10,20 ). The first wall formwork device ( 10 ) comprises a number of building or plastic foam blocks ( 11 ), and the second wall formwork device ( 20 ) comprises a number of sheathings ( 21 ). Each form tie ( 30 ) is provided with a first end having a fastening element ( 40 ) formed for connection with the first wall formwork device ( 20 ), and in its second end provided with a clamp tie device ( 50 ) for locking to the second wall formwork device upon temporary mounting and retention/clamping of said second wall formwork device ( 20 ) during the concreting, and releasing/unlocking after casting for allowing the wall formwork device ( 20 ) to be removed, form stripping. The invention also concerns a procedure for forming, for instance, a wall as well as a support for a said shuttering.
