Requirements of Good FW
Good formwork should satisfy all the following requirements listed below:
Should be strong enough to withstand all kinds of dead and live loads
Should be efficiently braced and propped both horizontally and vertically, to retain its shape
The joints in the formwork should be able to prevent cement grout leakage
Construction of formwork should permit removal of various parts in desired sequences without concrete
damage
The material of the formwork should be easily available, affordable and suitable for reuse
The formwork material should not warp or get distorted when exposed to the elements.
With rapid technological advancements, it has become easier for contractors to make formwork
because they can design it electronically and then copy the designed mold for faster and quicker
construction. Only formwork companies can handle doing a formwork because the concrete weight
needs to be supervised with caution and the finer points need to be evaluated correctly to make it
favourable for building construction. Businesses can research and opt for reputed formwork services in
Sweden such as Bygging Uddemann to help reach a more detailed understanding of the process.
