Common Challenges
Are you having problems with the construction formwork used on your construction site?
Heavy and Hard to Handle
It is hard to lift and move old formwork. Steel panels can weigh more than 50 kg for each square meter. Big steel formwork can weigh over 100 kg per square meter. These heavy panels need machines to lift them. This slows down work and makes it less safe. Aluminum alloy formwork weighs 25 kg per square meter. It is still hard to carry by hand. The weight makes moving and installing these materials tough. It is even harder on tall buildings or places with small spaces.
Labor and Time Intensive
Old formwork systems need lots of workers. You need skilled people to put together, change, and take apart the panels. This takes a long time and slows down your project. Surveys show that these methods make work risky and deadlines hard to meet. If you build tall buildings or tricky designs, it gets even harder. Keeping up with tight schedules is a big challenge.
- Tip: Fast formwork setup helps you finish on time and keeps everyone safe.
Prone to Damage
Wood and metal formwork can get damaged while being used. Water, chemicals, and lots of handling can bend, rust, or wear out the panels. Broken panels can leak or make rough concrete surfaces. You often have to fix or replace these materials. This costs more money and causes delays.
High Costs
You pay a lot for old formwork. Buying it costs a lot, and fixing or replacing it adds more cost. On big projects, these costs can be a huge part of your budget. Builders now want to spend less and waste less. Using recycled materials is getting more popular. It helps lower your carbon footprint.
Problems with old formwork include:
- Heavy and hard to move
- Needs lots of workers and time
- Gets damaged often
- Costs a lot and wastes materials
- Results are not always good on tricky projects
