1 Aluminium grave shuttering

2 Stepped shuttering system Shuttering systems ensure that the grave does not collapse during digging, or worse, at the burial! This keeps both the gravediggers and the mourners safe. As you already are probably aware, Health and Safety has drawn up rules and regulations to improve safety in the cemetery. In the decades since HONOR first designed its system they have been closely linked to the latest technologies, mechanisation, working conditions, ergonomics, practical applications, and of course your requirements. This has resulted in the HONOR stepped shuttering system, which is derived and specifically designed from the original. HONOR keeps in close contact with the people using the equipment and is therefore able to combine your needs and wishes with our extensive experience that has accrued since One of the most popular shuttering system is the user-friendly stepped HONOR shuttering. This lightweight, aluminium system is robust and extremely strong and consists of at least one, though usually three shuttering sections, which are very easy to use, either manually or with a mechanical digger. The number of sections required depends on the depth of the grave. The term stepped comes from the variation in the length and width of the shuttering sections, dimensions which take account of the limited amounts of space available. Ensuring that activities can be carried out easily and safely (manually as well as with mechanical digger), the section with the largest dimensions is dug straight into the ground. The smallest section is added last, at the deepest part of the grave. The smallest section is the last one to be added and is also the first one to be removed. This way the grave is gradually dug deeper in stages, with each stage benefitting from the support and safety of the previous shuttering section. Filling the grave is done safely by first removing the smallest, and lowest section, and then backfilling until the soil reaches the bottom of the next section, which is then removed and backfilled, and so on until the grave is filled. Each section consists of four separate components two longitudinal sections, plus two end sections, making it very easy to install or remove the shuttering. The HONOR system can be supplied with several ascending stepped shuttering sections. These ascend from one to three sections and can be expanded with an extension section if required.

3 Construction As already mentioned, the HONOR shuttering system can be used manually or with a mechanical digger. The lightweight section components are made from double-walled aluminium with integrated reinforcement ribbing and twin handles. All four components of each section are finished with a cutting edge developed by HONOR that makes it easier to push the shuttering section through the soil. The whole structure is welded which helps increase its useful lifespan and provides you with many years of reliability. The system uses a unique approach to join the longitudinal and end components together which utilizes U-shaped guides. Ridges on top of the end components drop into recesses of the same size on the longitudinal components. The bottom of the end component drops onto a buffer. Thanks to the unique HONOR design it is still very easy, even under great surface pressure caused by soil subsidence, to remove the sections either manually or with a mechanical digger. This special ridge and recess design has a multiple function by creating a single shuttering section from four separate components. This means that the end components automatically release when the shuttering is manually removed during propping but when removing with a mechanical digger using the HONOR hoisting bar, the ridges lift the complete section including the end components of the shuttering section. Combination of the HONOR shuttering, burying equipment and working grid. The HONOR soil container allow for rapid setup and convenient storage of soil removed from the grave.
