Climbing Formwork

StarStarStarStar

Climbing formwork is a special type of formwork for vertical concrete structures that rises along with the building of new sections.

StarStarStarStar

Anchor Bolts

StarStarStarStar

Anchor bolts secure the formwork to the foundation, ensuring stability and alignment during concrete pouring.

StarStarStarStar

Scaffolding

StarStarStarStar

Scaffolding provides access and working platforms for workers at varying heights during formwork assembly and disassembly.

StarStarStarStar

Formwork Liners

StarStarStarStar

Liners provide a specific texture or finish to the concrete surface and protect the formwork for multiple usages.

StarStarStarStar

Modular Formwork

StarStarStarStar

Modular formwork consists of pre-made modules and panels that can be quickly assembled and dismantled, offering efficiency in construction.

StarStarStarStar

Tie Rods

StarStarStarStar

Tie rods are used to maintain the distance between opposite formwork sides and transfer loads to the anchors.

StarStarStarStar

Flying Formwork

StarStarStarStar

This reusable formwork is used for slab construction, which can be moved from one location to another using cranes or other lifting equipment.

StarStarStarStar

Sleeve or Cone Inserts

StarStarStarStar

These are used in precast formwork to create holes that are later filled with lifting hardware or for service installations.

StarStarStarStar

Outriggers

StarStarStarStar

Outriggers are external supports that extend from the main structure to provide additional stabilization to the formwork system.

StarStarStarStar

Timber Beams

StarStarStarStar

Timber beams provide support to the formwork sheathing, distributing loads and reducing deflection.

StarStarStarStar

Proprietary Formwork Systems

StarStarStarStar

These are complete pre-engineered formwork systems, which are reusable and provide speed and efficiency in forming.

StarStarStarStar

Formwork Bracing

StarStarStarStar

Bracing stabilizes formwork structures with diagonal supports to prevent lateral movement and to secure vertical alignment.

StarStarStarStar

Camber

StarStarStarStar

A camber is a slight upward curve built into a beam, girder, or form to compensate for anticipated deflection, ensuring level structures after loading.

StarStarStarStar

Shoring Towers

StarStarStarStar

Shoring towers are temporary structures to support formwork, especially for slabs and beams during concrete curing.

StarStarStarStar

Form Ties

StarStarStarStar

Form ties hold the formwork panels together against the lateral pressure of wet concrete; they are removed or cut once concrete cures.

StarStarStarStar

Plywood Sheathing

StarStarStarStar

Plywood sheathing is used as a flat surface to retain the poured concrete and shape it to the desired form.

StarStarStarStar

Walers

StarStarStarStar

Walers are horizontal members that connect vertical supports and distribute the load from the formwork.

StarStarStarStar

Distance Pieces (Spacers)

StarStarStarStar

Spacers maintain the correct cover to the reinforcement and ensure the concrete cover thickness for durability and fire protection.

StarStarStarStar

Formwork Coatings

StarStarStarStar

Coatings are applied to the formwork material to ease the release of the formwork and to protect its surface for reuse.

StarStarStarStar

Slip Formwork

StarStarStarStar

Slip formwork is used to form a continuous vertical structure by constantly 'slipping' the form upwards as concrete is poured and sets.

StarStarStarStar

Reinforcement Spacers

StarStarStarStar

Spacers ensure that reinforcement bars maintain the proper distance from the formwork to guarantee the correct concrete cover.

StarStarStarStar

Column Clamps

StarStarStarStar

Column clamps are fastening devices that hold the formwork for columns tightly together, ensuring shape and rigidity.

StarStarStarStar

Adjustable Steel Props

StarStarStarStar

Adjustable steel props support formwork and slabs during construction, with their length being adjustable.

StarStarStarStar

Base Plates

StarStarStarStar

Base plates spread the load from supports to the ground or to the slab below, preventing local failure.

StarStarStarStar

Falsework

StarStarStarStar

Falsework supports temporary structures during construction and is removed after the permanent structure becomes self-supporting.
