The invention comprises a concrete form. The form comprises a first concrete forming panel having a first primary surface adapted for forming and contacting plastic concrete and a second primary surface opposite the first primary surface; a layer of insulating material contacting and substantially covering the second primary surface of the first concrete forming panel; and an insulating blanket adjacent the first concrete forming panel. A method of using the concrete form is also disclosed.

According to the present invention, there is provided a pipe forming apparatus for forming a pipe at an installation site. The apparatus includes a former upon which material is wound, and a mold for receiving the former bearing the wound material. An applicator is provided for applying curable liquid within the mold. Advantageously, the pipe is formed at site to provide for efficient formation of a pipeline. A transported ISO container providing the material and curable liquid to the site can produce 800 metres of pipeline section, compared with 60 metres in the prior art, representing a significant increase in efficiency.

A delivery device for concrete admixtures, in the form of a film of watersoluble material, having a concrete admixture incorporated within the film. The film can be attached to a formwork for concrete and has a protective layer, which is removable to allow the water in the concrete to dissolve the film and release the admixture into the concrete. The film contains the required quantity of admixture and is weather-resistant and substantially time-insensitive. The delivery device is used in a process to retard the setting portion of a surface of concrete.

A mold for building coating products obtained from composite liquid mixtures is described. The mold includes a base plate, having a plurality of through holes; and a die, configured for incorporating the base plate therein. On the upper surface of the die there are a plurality of shapes of the front surface in negative of each coating product to be manufactured and a molding grid open at the upper part, configured to be pressure applied above the die. The molding grid has side walls which define the perimeter edges of each coating product. Between the molding grid side walls separate bowls are formed for containing a single coating product. Each side wall is inclined at an acute angle with respect to a vertical plane, to confer to each side wall a sharp-pointed and tapered shape from top towards bottom with respect to the entire mold for facilitating the extraction of the finished coating products.
