The Importance of Formwork in Modern Construction



The Importance of Formwork in Modern Construction

Construction is not just a way to provide infrastructure, shelter, and spaces of work and entertainment; it is also a driver of economies around the world. As societal demands increase, so does the need to build more structures, build them faster, and build them more cost-effectively. Technology has evolved significantly to allow new methods of construction, both in terms of materials and techniques. That said, sometimes it is a simple, practical solution that makes all the difference, such as is the case with the use of formwork in construction.

What is formwork?

It provides a handy and practical way to speed up concrete construction work while also lowering the cost. Just imagine building a huge office block with only standard-sized bricks. It would take forever and be very labour-intensive and expensive, not to mention that it would reduce the number of practical design options. It makes much more sense to use precast pieces of concrete to create solid slabs and columns, but transporting these would be challenging. Formwork allows for the construction of custom slabs and columns on site to speed up and enhance the construction process. It provides the mould in which the fresh concrete is poured, allowing it to then harden in this predetermined shape, perfect for the construction purpose it is intended for.

Why use formwork?

  • It allows concrete structures to be constructed quickly and cost-effectively.
  • In addition to its use for concrete construction, it also offers access and work platforms that supplement the available scaffolding.
  • It can considerably shorten the construction time, allowing for more projects to be completed.
  • It also lowers the construction costs (partly due to the shorter timelines), allowing projects to meet their budgetary demands.
  • Quality formwork allows for better concrete-surface finishing.
  • It allows for easier construction of custom shapes and designs compared to using traditional construction methods.
  • Conduits required for laying the utilities such as water and electricity can be included, speeding up this process significantly.
