The speed of the system comes from the wedge and tie. The slotted taper tie is the fastest most economical form tie available. Simply pass through forms and lock in place. Hundreds of re-uses.taper ties can be made for any size of wall. Other tie systems can be used...such as threaded taper ties, coil rod, she bolts. The gang adapter wire loop tie is available where taper ties can not be used such as water tanks. The loop tie is much faster than she bolts and inner ties, and is available with waterseals.

G-A WEDGE Provides an external spreader with either the slotted taper tie or the gang adapter loop tie. G-A loop tie with waterseal available Easily switch from gang panel to handset panels where needed with typical wedge bolt connection, ie. at pilasters, corners...
The gang adapter is basically a strongback made of 2 high strength side rails with a welded steel face. This adds strength in the vertical direction allowing less ties to be used. For example a 10' tall wall which would typically have minimum of 6 ties vertically would be reduced to 3 ties vertically. In addition to having less ties the wedge is as fast as you can get when installing and removing ties. In other words if you have a 12' wall and are using 12' gang adapters, even though you would be stacking an 8' and a 4' panel to get to 12'. The 12' gang adapter is the only strongback needed. 2'x 4' 2'x 8' NO STRONG BACKS ARE NEEDED IF YOU STAGGER FORMS AND GANG ADAPTERS
