Metal 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.

What Are The Types Of Steel Formwork?

1. Traditional Steel Mould Formwork

      The most widely used formwork in construction projects, traditional concrete steel formwork consists of individual steel formwork with edges reinforced with the help of small angles. There are usually two types of steel formwork: flat panel formwork and circular column formwork. The steel formwork are combined to form moulds for pouring concrete, flat formwork for rectangular columns and semi-circular formwork 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.

2. Steel plywood formwork

      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.

Aj Building'S Advice On Steel Formwork Maintenance

      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.

• Steel prop are frequently used as formwork supports to temporarily hold the formwork in place during concrete pouring, ensuring correct positioning and evenly distributing the formwork's weight to prevent sagging or warping.

Which Formwork Is Best?

• Steel formwork is the most durable and suitable for multiple projects, while wood and plywood are more affordable and user-friendly but have a shorter lifespan. Plastic and fabric formwork are lightweight and easy to handle but lack the durability of steel, wood, or plywood.
