The Different Types of Concrete Formwork and Their Pros and Cons
Concrete formwork is used in a wide variety of construction projects where pouring concrete is involved. Pouring the foundation of a building or structure, such as a house or a bridge, requires concrete formwork. Walls, columns, slabs, and floors made of concrete all utilize concrete formwork for pouring and casting. Beams, girders, and other support structures for buildings and bridges also depend on reliable concrete formwork during the pouring and curing process.نور یی ولوله -
Concrete formwork explained
Formwork is structural and is the term used for specialised concrete construction moulds. Wet concrete is poured into these supportive moulds, which are usually temporary, to set and take form until it can support itself.نور یی ولوله -
Formwork vs Falsework: What’s the Difference?
You may hear the words ‘formwork’ and ‘falsework’ thrown around on site from time to time. While they both are used to describe supports that help to form concrete, their roles in the process differ immensely.نور یی ولوله -
5 ELEMENTS OF SUPERIOR CONCRETE FORMWORK
Concrete is the most commonly used man-made material on earth. Given its particular properties, it is also among the most widely employed options for construction. This mixture of cement, sand, gravel and water begins as a wet substance unable to support its own weight, thereby requiring the use of a mold to achieve the desired shape and structure. In construction applications involving concrete, that mold is referred to as the formwork.نور یی ولوله -
What is Formwork?
In a nutshell, formwork is the mold wherein fresh concrete is poured and formed. The mold, which can be permanent or temporary, holds the poured concrete and shapes it until it solidifies and becomes strong enough to support itself and other loads.نور یی ولوله -
A Quick Guide to Common Formwork Materials
Concrete formwork systems are built using a variety of materials. They all have their pros and cons, and different options are better for different projects, site environments, and construction needs.

7 Things You Should Know About Concrete Formwork
The construction of concrete formwork is no small undertaking; it takes time and can cost up to 25 percent of the total price of the structure. Luckily, stripped concrete formwork can be reused to reduce time and cost. Reusable forms are known as “panel forms,” while non-reusable concrete forms are called “stationary forms.”نور یی ولوله -
What Is Concrete Formwork?
Concrete formwork is a mold or frame that holds wet concrete (poured into the formwork) until it dries and creates the desired structure that suits the purposes of a construction project. Concrete formwork can be temporary or permanent. When it is temporary, it is removed once the concrete sets. Temporary formwork is more common than permanent formwork. It can be re-used for other projects once it is no longer needed, which is of great benefit to the contractor. Because of this, temporary formwork can be resold after a project or reused on a later job. Temporary concrete formwork can be made of heavy-duty aluminum, steel, plastic, plywood, or timber. Permanent formwork, which remains in place and becomes a part of the construction after the concrete sets is often made of foam material. The process of using concrete formwork in construction is sometimes referred to as “shuttering.” A major benefit of using concrete formwork is that it aids in achieving a desired concrete shape with a great degree of precision. Use of formwork as opposed to other methods of setting concrete is quick and efficient.نور یی ولوله -
Project Categories: Construction Equipment - Scaffold
Construction equipment projects involve installation of equipment to support construction activities or to secure a construction site for protection of workers and the general public. Construction projects may include erection of a new building or the alteration, renovation, remodel, or renewal of an outdated or damaged existing structure and associated materials, including any partial or full demolition. These projects may require construction equipment such as scaffolding during the project’s execution.نور یی ولوله -
The Do’s & Don’ts of Scaffold Safety in Construction
We all know that fall hazards are the leading cause of construction worker deaths, accounting for about 33.5% of all fatalities in construction each year. Of the 338 construction worker fatalities attributed to falls in 2018, close to 15% were from scaffolds. OSHA estimates that about 65% of all construction workers perform some work on scaffolds every year. That’s a lot of folks working on scaffolds potentially being exposed to a number of hazards such as falls, electrocutions, and falling objects.نور یی ولوله -

Scaffolding 101: Everything You Need To Know
Scaffolding - also known as a scaffold or staging - is a temporary structure construction crews use when working at heights. This temporary structure also acts as a secure working environment because it provides construction workers with a stable platform when working on jobs that are off the ground.نور یی ولوله
