Formwork

Stimex Engineers is a leading international company in the area of formwork

Formwork, also known as shuttering, is the temporary structure or mold used to support wet concrete until it sets or hardens. It's essentially the framework into which concrete is poured to give it the desired shape and structure. Formwork can be made of wood, metal, plastic, or other materials and is designed to withstand the weight and pressure of the concrete while it cures. Once the concrete has hardened, the formwork is removed, leaving behind the finished structure. Formwork is a critical component in concrete construction projects, ensuring that the concrete takes on the desired shape and dimensions.

Types of form works:

There are several types of formwork used in construction projects, each with its own characteristics and suitable applications. Some common types of formwork include:

2. Steel Formwork:

Made of steel panels or frames, providing high strength and durability. It's often used for large-scale projects or where repetitive use is required.

3. Aluminum Formwork:

Lightweight and easy to assemble, aluminum formwork consists of prefabricated panels with integrated formwork components. It's suitable for high-rise buildings and projects with a fast construction pace.

4. Plastic Formwork:

Made of lightweight plastic panels or sheets, plastic formwork is easy to handle and suitable for smaller projects or projects with intricate shapes.
