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.
There are several types of formwork used in construction projects, each with its own characteristics and suitable applications. Some common types of formwork include:
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.
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.
Made of lightweight plastic panels or sheets, plastic formwork is easy to handle and suitable for smaller projects or projects with intricate shapes.
Utilizes fabric or textile materials impregnated with a setting agent to shape the concrete. It's flexible and adaptable to various shapes and contours.
These are modular formwork systems designed for specific project requirements, offering efficiency, precision, and ease of assembly.
