Make Your Construction Stronger And Better With Best Formwork Design

Posted by navkaargroup on June 26th, 2017

When it comes to the construction industry or even civil engineering, it cannot be completed without a formwork. What is formwork? Formwork is nothing but a mould that includes all supporting structures. It is also helpful while shaping and supporting the concrete unless and until it doesn’t achieve enough strength to carry its own weight. Apart from its own weight, the concrete should also be self-sufficient to carry all dead and live loads. With all this information, we can now guess how important is formwork in the construction industry.

It’s not about today, but formwork was playing a keen role before the conceptualisation of concrete construction. Slowly, new materials started getting introduced like – plastic, steel, etc. Today, a great amount of attention has been given to formwork design along with erection, dismantling and even fabrication. Most importantly, a formwork is required wherever there is monolithic concrete and reinforced concrete structures or structural components. To elaborate further, it is used in foundations, columns, structures that boast of special functions like chimneys; structures with great requirements like towers, public buildings and structures that have strict requirements.

Commonly, each formwork brags its own interim nature, but it has to be removed after the concrete hardening takes place. The formwork should be strong, but the process of formwork stripping should also be considered while erecting the formwork. While placing a formwork, remember to not use too many nails. Try and make maximum use of wires, tie, braces, timbers, etc. Whatever material or panel you are going to strip first, make sure to fix them in a sequence – this will suppress your difficulties.

Most importantly, formwork designing should be undertaken properly. If at all the formwork breaks after placing of concrete, then it can result in heavy damage especially of materials. Moreover, it can hamper and cause injury to people who are working on it. Apart from this, you might face monetary crisis too. Also, when a formwork is extremely strong, then it needs an immense physical force while stripping which may also be a hindrance. So, take cautious steps while designing, placing and stripping of a formwork.

With evolving times, several types of formwork are now designed to overshadow the obstacles of the construction industry. Beam formwork, column formwork, ceiling formwork, foundation formwork, etc., are some of the prominent form works that are ruling the market.
