Formwork For Concrete
In modern construction projects, concrete formwork plays a critical role in shaping the foundation of everything built on it. It provides a stable beginning that gives concrete its final shape and structural integrity.
It’s the temporary framework that holds wet concrete in place while it cures and develops strength, kind of like an invisible mold that disappears once its job is done.
When you plan formwork for concrete, you create a negative space that will eventually become walls, floors, columns, and more.
With construction formwork, it all comes down to preparation and precision. The final concrete product will mirror every formwork detail and imperfection.
Formwork systems come in a variety of materials from wood to aluminum and steel panels. You can choose which fits the needs of your project best.
A well-designed forming system can be used multiple times, significantly reducing costs on large projects. At DSS, we’ve seen firsthand how quality formwork can make or break a project’s timeline and budget. That’s why we offer the best quality tilt up braces, handsets, clamp accessories, and more.
Tilt-Up Posts
Tilt up braces are used to hold in place large concrete elements (usually walls) after they have been lifted and put in place. They may also be used for shoring applications.
DSS Direct Ply Hand Set Modular System
DSS Direct Ply is a pre-engineered, factory built, reusable modular forming system, with endless application in handset and gang configurations. Direct Ply formwork can be used in residential, commercial, industrial, and heavy-highway construction, and because there is no left, right, up, or down to the form itself, structures of almost any shape or size can be accomplished.
Taper Ties, Shebolts and Wing Nuts
Taper ties, shebolts, and wing nuts might seem like small components, but they are important for making sure your concrete forms stay exactly where they need to be during pours. These hardware pieces work together as a system to create rock-solid connections between formwork panels.
Wall Braces
Wall braces are used to hold in place large concrete elements (usually walls) after they have been lifted and put in place. They may also be used for shoring applications.
Difference Between Scaffolding and Formwork
These are two types of temporary structures used in construction. Both serve as temporary support systems, but scaffolding is intended to provide access to a structure for contractors while concrete formwork is designed to hold wet concrete in place until it’s cured.
