MEVA Mammut XT's wooden shuttering system supports the construction of the Nyíregyháza carbon neutral housing estate

The use of the high-performance MEVA Mammut XT formwork system has reached a new milestone: as part of the NORDii Homes Sóstó Park project, the Debrecen-based NORDII INVEST Zrt. in Debrecen, with approximately 250 elements being manufactured. The choice was made not only because of geographical proximity, but also because of the plant's excellent technological capabilities, including modern mixing capacity, a well-equipped laboratory and innovative factory management.

The project in Nyíregyháza will cover an area of 9620 square metres, of which more than 5100 square metres will be preserved as green space. The A+++ (CO2-free) energy rating of the buildings is not only to be environmentally friendly, but also to produce more energy than they use to operate (the surplus can be used to charge cars, for example) - thus actively reducing the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere.

MEVA technology for sustainability

The MEVA Mammut XT system fits perfectly with the carbon neutral ambitions of the project. The precast reinforced concrete elements also take into account long-term ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) aspects: at the end of the buildings' life cycle, the designed concrete elements can be fully recycled, thus also applying the principles of the circular economy.

In the production of high-strength C40/50 concrete class square elements, accuracy of production is key. The choice of the Mammut XT formwork was therefore no coincidence: the system can withstand fresh concrete pressures of up to 100 kN/m², while its flatness and dimensional accuracy are outstanding, guaranteeing smooth installation on site.

Flexible system, durable surface finish

Kálmán Oberrecht, technical consultant for MEVA Zrt., also assists with the manufacturing processes on site. As he explained, the special feature of the Mammut XT steel frame formwork system is its galvanised, closed-cell steel frame design, which can withstand high-volume production demands over the long term. The MEVA „alkus” plastic formwork used to create concrete surfaces not only has a longer service life than traditional wooden formwork, but can also be repaired without limitation, for example by plastic welding or polishing.
