Frequently Asked Questions
What is concrete formwork and why is it important?
Concrete formwork is the temporary mould used to hold poured concrete in place until it sets and gains strength. It ensures the structure’s shape, size, and surface finish are consistent and accurate. Without properly installed formwork, the concrete can shift, crack, or fail to meet required levels, especially in structural slabs and pathways.
What equipment is commonly used in concrete formwork?
Formwork can be made from a variety of materials, but D-frame steel systems are commonly used for their strength and reusability. These provide stable, straight edges and can be adjusted to meet different slab sizes and shapes. Proper installation is essential to maintain level and alignment during the pour.
How is formwork removed after the concrete is poured?
Once the concrete has set to an appropriate strength—usually after 24 to 48 hours—the formwork is carefully dismantled. Removal must be done without damaging the slab edges or disrupting any cuts or finishes.
