Abstract
A waler bracket is disclosed for securing a waler to a modular form system having a pair of panels being separated by a filler channel, with the filler channel including a pair of flanges with each flange being joinable to an adjacent panel edge portion. The waler bracket includes an inner portion and an outer portion. The inner portion includes an inner through member disposed parallel to the plane of the panels and perpendicular to the panel edge portions, with the inner through member being sized for insertion between the filler channel flanges and being adapted to receive a fastener. The outer portion is adapted for attachment to the waler. Accordingly, the panels, the filler channel, and the bracket inner portion may be connected to each other using a fastener extending through the inner through member, and the waler may be secured to the bracket outer portion, thereby securing the waler to the panels and thereby permitting the form system to be lifted as a unit.
