Formwork systems are temporary structures used in construction to support and shape concrete until it hardens. They are essential for creating walls, slabs, and other concrete elements, ensuring that the final product has the desired shape and strength. Common materials for formwork include wood, metal, and plastic, each offering different benefits in terms of cost, durability, and ease of use. There are various types of formwork systems, such as slab formwork, wall formwork, and column formwork. Each type is designed for specific applications and can be customized to fit the project’s requirements. Properly designed formwork systems contribute to the efficiency and safety of the construction process.
