Posted by navkaargroup on May 1st, 2017

While constructing a house or building, slabs are immensely important. A slab is a flat piece of concrete, that is put up on the walls or columns of a structure. By providing flat surface, it also supports loading, helps in maintaining privacy for occupants and can also become the ceiling for the storey that is below it. However, there can be concrete slabs that are suspended and thus are not supported by ground. Thus, to create a structure – a slab formwork is a requisite. Formwork is nothing but is made of panels and falsework that creates a mould in which concrete is poured to create a setting.

A slab formwork consists of a gamut of elements like formwork panels, stringers, etc., that help in pouring concrete and suspending above the ground. Also, to give shape to the concrete various materials are also used like – metal, plywood or even plastic. No matter what, this formwork tends to be highly customizable and thus can be moulded into various shapes and designs as per the requirements. As it is customizable, the materials that are used to create the slab formwork can vary depending upon the size of the project.

Several construction industries make use of steel forms because it is favourable for larger projects. Nevertheless, aluminium and plywood play an important role in catering to small projects. Plywood forms usually boast of a laminate base that helps in protecting the wood from moisture as concrete can transmit moisture to the wood. Nevertheless, there are a variety of slab formwork namely - Timber beam slab formwork, Traditional slab formwork, Metal beam slab formwork, Modular slab formwork, Table or flying form systems, etc.

They in turn help in increasing safety on the site and also boosts productivity and reduces the slab implementation.
