Formwork construction starts with a design which begins the foundation of any RC development, these foundations are commonly known as pile caps, reinforced steel will be designed and tied, the formwork will be designed and constructed to a required specification and concrete will be poured.

 

Next comes the ground beams that will tie the pile caps together and a reinforced concrete slab is poured over them to give you a start for the rising elements. Rising elements are the formwork structures that form the shell of the development.

 

Reinforced steel bars will protrude through the concrete slab in the positions where these rising elements are designed to be, they will consist of columns, stair cores, lift cores and walls, all will have their own formwork design and possibly additional features that will be implemented as required.

 

A concrete slab will come next in the form of a precast unit or an in-situ concrete deck which Trimformworks will cast using the Doka Table System, this formwork system is both time efficient and cost effective when addressing multi-storey buildings. 

 

Keeping in mind that most developments will have different specifications, and no two formwork builds are the same, Trimformworks have the experience to differentiate when needed to complete each and every project we undertake to the highest standard.
