Formwork is an integral part of the construction process and is used in many different applications, including bridges, tunnels, buildings, and dams. It is a versatile and reliable method for creating concrete structures and is essential for creating safe and secure structures.

Formwork is an essential element of concrete construction. It is the process of creating a temporary structure that holds the wet concrete in place until it hardens and can support itself. Formwork is also used to provide the shape and structure of the final concrete element. It is an important aspect of construction that requires a high degree of skill and precision.
The two primary types of formwork are traditional and engineered. Traditional formwork is made from wood or steel, while engineered formwork is made of prefabricated modules or components. Traditional formwork is used in smaller projects or for unique shapes that cannot be achieved with engineered formwork. Engineered formwork, on the other hand, is used in large-scale construction projects where precision and speed are essential.

WHAT IS FORMWORK?
Formwork is typically made from plywood, steel, or aluminium. Plywood formwork is the most common type of formwork and is the cheapest and most accessible. Steel formwork is more durable and can be reused multiple times, making it a more cost-effective option in the long run. Aluminium formwork is the most expensive but provides the highest level of precision and speed, making it ideal for large-scale construction projects. We will advise on the best solutions to use for your project.
The formwork process begins with creating a mould or template of the desired shape and size of the concrete element. This is typically done using computer-aided design (CAD) software, and the final design is used to create the formwork. The formwork is then assembled on-site, and the wet concrete is poured into the formwork. The concrete is left to set and harden, and the formwork is then removed to reveal the final concrete element.
