What Is Steel Formwork In Construction
Dec 11, 2023Metal steel formwork is a temporary structure that we usually see in construction projects. Steel formwork is widely used in modern construction and is an important part of building projects.
The most widely used formwork in construction projects, traditional concrete column steel formwork consists of individual steel plates with edges reinforced with the help of small angles. There are usually two types of steel plates: flat plates and semi-circular plates. The steel plates are combined to form moulds for pouring concrete, flat plates for rectangular columns and semi-circular plates for cylindrical columns. Steel formwork can be used for dams, bridges, storage tanks, chimneys, sewer tunnels and other large-scale projects that require extra-strong structures.

Steel plywood formwork is slightly different from traditional steel formwork, it is a steel formwork system which is a combination of steel frames and plywood, compared with traditional steel formwork, concrete steel plywood formwork is lighter because it is just a frame while traditional steel formwork is complete. Therefore, steel plywood formwork is more cost-effective.

1. Steel formwork is strong, due to its high strength, steel formwork can be used in extreme environments and harsh weather conditions. Steel formwork is usually made of Q235 or higher grade materials, so it has good anti-corrosion properties, which also protects the safety of workers.
2. As we all know, steel is a product that can be recycled and reused, so steel formwork is a sustainable building material. Nowadays, the world is responding to the sustainable development, so steel formwork is favoured by more and more builders.
AJ Building provides professional steel formwork installation guide to help you and your workers install steel formwork quickly and safely.
Construction workers need to regularly inspect and maintain steel formwork and avoid using defective steel formwork to ensure the safety of construction workers. In addition, the dismantled steel formwork needs to be cleaned and stored in a dry place, so as to reduce the possibility of corrosion of steel formwork, which can effectively improve the reusability of steel formwork and, on the other hand, save the cost.
