What is Formwork?

It is used in construction projects where you need to create moulds for wet concrete to form specific shapes, or where you need to have shapes in place to keep wet concrete stable until the mix has settled and hardened to maintain its integrity and handle the weight that it must carry.

Why Use Formwork?

The moulds and our expertise in creating these hold several advantages, which include:

  • Time-savings because the shapes are pre-made.
  • Value for money as the shapes can be used repeatedly.
  • Easy to clean and maintain.
  • Easy removal of the shapes.
  • Provide for standardised shapes, ensuring consistency.
  • Cost-effective as you don’t have to design each mould on site.
  • Reduced labour costs as the concrete can be poured into moulds fast.
  • Durability of the moulds makes it possible to use these for more than one project.
  • Ensure structural integrity because of the placeholders and precision shapes.
