A clamp assembly for a formwork system, comprising:
- a clamp, comprising:
- a first member having a first substantially planar side having a first surface and defining a first opening configured to accommodate a first flange;
- a second member having a second substantially planar side having a second surface and defining a second opening configured to accommodate a second flange;
- and
- a connector clip having a base plate between, connected to, and substantially coplanar with a first lateral plate member and a second lateral plate member, the connector clip being configured to be coupled to an alignment bar, a personal tie-off point, a pipe brace attachment, or a lifting bar;
- wherein the first opening and the second opening are at an end of the surfaces closest to the base plate and are both configured to restrict motion of the first or second flange in at least two directional axes, and
- wherein the first surface and the second surface are both configured to restrict motion of an object via direct contact.
