Lower the sofit panels into postion with the front edge tight against the timber wedges, to drive the panel forward against the SHEET pile face then lift and lock guard rail.

3 (not shown)05 SHUTTERINGThe side shutters can be positioned straight onto the sofit BARSL ightly tap ends of steel bars tillthey have push up hard against the contours of the SHEET after 36 hours the soffit panels and redebs are ready to be only purpose-made SHEET pile CAPPING system available is faster and more cost effective than any on-site lash ups .The Redeb Bracket and Soffit Panels can be assembled and re-used byunskilled labour. Welding or cutting of piles is not necessary. It rendersobsolete the use of individual plywood soffit panels cut out to match old fashioned methods use brackets welded against piles tocarry longitudinal beams and shuttering timber.

4 Such brackets haveultimately to be burned off, their stubs ground down and the pilespaintwork made this trouble is avoided using this pile CAPPING concrete cap, approx. size high by wide and 275m in lengthwas completed in four weeks. A 15 metre concrete pour was made everyday. 5 no. per week using a total of 45 no. Redebs and 18 no. Panels ( 3 no. 15 metre lengths).The above resulted in a time saving of over 2 weeks compared with traditional REDEB SUPPORT BRACKETThe Redeb Support Bracket provides a cheaper, simpler and fastermethod of supporting the soffit shutter for the construction of aconcrete cap on U and Z shaped SHEET Redeb Support Bracket is a light yet robust piece ofequipment designed to give many years of trouble free serviceproviding it is correctly used and maintained.

5 It is designed solelyfor use on steel SHEET piles are generally capped for Aesthetic purposes. Theconcrete cap serves to mask the inevitable irregularities in sheetpile length, penetration depth and line. They may also be used asa support for a railing or safety are three models of Redeb bracket - the RSB500, RSB600and RSB700. The RSB500 & RSB600 models are designed towork on both Z type and U type SHEET pile sections. TheRSB500 covering narrower pile sections than the RSB600. TheRSB700 is exclusively designed to work with the Hoesch Larssen700mm wide U piles and Arcelor 750mm wide U piles.

6 Withthese models most SHEET pile sections can be accommodated withincertain MULTI PILE SOFFIT SHUTTER PANELT here are two standard soffit shutter panels for all normal pilecaps and a lot of abnormal ones as Very quick set up - saves time2. Simple use for - saves money unskilled labour3. Eliminates wastage - saves materials of consumable materials4. Provides a formal system - saves money tried and proven as opposed to one off on-site lashups5.

7 Re-useable for all - maximise repeat shapes of SHEET pile usageThe soffit shutter panel consists of rectangular rods which areretained within a framework. The rods are free to slide within setlimits. With the panel secured on the Redeb Bracket therectangular bars are pushed towards the SHEET piles, starting fromthe deepest part of each pile. The bars will deck out the soffit areaand assume the shape of the SHEET piles including the distortionwhich occurs during panels structural members, which retain the decking bars, arecapable of carrying normal loads when supported on RedebBrackets at one-pair of pile centres.

8 No additional structuralsupport is necessary. If in doubt please panel will fit all known SHEET piles and may also be used oncontinuous bored are two lenghts of panel, and The must beused for the 750mm wide pile sections ( Arcelor AU type)The panels is are intended for mechanical handling, with the 360kg and the panel weighing 430kg. 09 Although the Redeb Support Bracket is suitable in the majority ofpile cap situations there are certain limitations which must betaken into account before specifying the equipment for any givenjob.

9 (If in doubt consult the manufacturer).SAFE WORKING LOADThe of the Redeb is specified in terms of a point load onthe bracket at a certain location a load applied on the arms ofthe bracket at a distance of 310mm from the centre of the HardPoints. (see page 21 for technical specification) a. Bracket fixed on interlocks of U type SHEET piles - 2000 kgs. b. Bracket fixed on any inclined webs of U or Z type SHEET piles having a minimum included angle of 55 - 1500 means that the maximum on any Z (Frodingham)type SHEET pile will be 1500 OF SHEET PILE WEBThe ideal fixing position for the Redeb bracket is betweeninterlocks on a single U type SHEET pile.

10 The interlocks areextremely rigid and the fixing face is perpendicular to the steelhard points. However, in many cases the fixing face is at an angleto the hard point centre line. This occurs on Z (Frodingham)type SHEET piles and on narrow U type sheets when the Redeb istoo wide to fit between these conditions due consideration must be given to the angle involved and the choice of Hard Point type. a. The Redeb can not be used on SHEET piles where the angle between the fixing face (usually the web) and the Hard Point centre line is less than 55.
