Concrete Formwork

Formwork is a mould or box used to pour and compact concrete into a desired shape. It serves two main functions: to support the weight of wet concrete and to mold the concrete into the intended form. Key considerations in formwork design include lifting equipment, materials used, decorative finishes, labor and material costs, and safety. Common types of formwork include those used for foundations, columns, beams, and slabs. Common causes of formwork failure are improper stripping of forms, inadequate bracing, vibration issues, lack of attention to formwork details, and inadequate control of concrete placement.
