Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / swimming pools | | Italian term or phrase: casseri | This is from a text about a swimming pool firm presenting its products and talking about installation etc:
"...con dimostrazione pratica della posa dei **casseri** ed il montaggio di accessori"
Would it be "moulds"?
Grazie mille. |

| | English translation:formwork | Explanation:
You are right they are moulds, usually made of wood by carpenters (not necessarily) into which concrete is poured. This must be about the construction of swimming pools. Singular and plural is the same.

As an alternative
from ISOTEX multilingual website
"For millennia, wood has been the most widely used raw material. This fact has contributed considerably to the development of wood-concrete formwork blocks that in many northern countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) have been successfully used for over 60 years.
The wood is ground, then mineralized with the aid of the cement (or concrete); this mix, via a block-making machine, is turned into solid blocks. In this way the porous structure, which is very important for the transpiration of the masonry, is not destroyed.
The formwork blocks are laid dry, thereby eliminating the various drawbacks caused by the use of mortar, subsequently filled with concrete, thus ensuring an excellent bearing structure.
To facilitate the execution of the wall there is a series of special pieces such as the block to isolate the floor slab, lintel for doors and windows, which allow us to eliminate the cold bridges of our structure completely."
"Questo fatto ha contribuito notevolmente allo sviluppo dei blocchi cassero in legno cemento che in gran parte dei paesi nordici (Germania, Austria, Svizzera) è utilizzato con successo da oltre 60 anni.
Il legno viene macinato, poi mineralizzato con un minerale naturale; l'impasto così ottenuto, tramite una blocchiera viene trasformato in blocchi solidi.
In questo modo la struttura porosa, che è molto importante per la traspirazione della muratura, non viene distrutta.
I blocchi cassero in legno cemento vengono posati a secco, eliminando in questo modo i diversi inconvenienti causati dall'utilizzo della malta, successivamente riempiti di calcestruzzo, garantendo in questo modo un'ottima struttura portante. Le caratteristiche strutturali ne consigliano l'utilizzo anche in zone sismiche, in quanto si ha un'ottima resistenza al terremoto, anche di forte intensità.
Per facilitare l'esecuzione della parete, esistono una serie di pezzi speciali (vedi schede prodotti), quali il blocco per isolare la correa solaio, l'architrave per porte e finestre, i quali consentono di eliminare completamente i ponti termici dalla nostra struttura. [..]
