Steel: Steel is also used in pre-fabricated formwork. Purpose made steel forms are fabricated when dimensional tolerances are critical, or when the forms are planned to be re-used. Aluminium: Often used in pre-fabricated formwork, that is put together on site. waffle floors).

Its importance is evident when you consider that the cost of fabrication, erecting and striking the formwork, often exceeds the cost of the concrete it is designed to shape and support. Always inspect the formwork prior to pouring. GOOD FORMWORK: There are two factors that decide how well the concrete will look in the final result.

2) poor communication between the fabricators and erectors. (3) The most common causes of structural failures are: (1) Poor communication between the various design professionals involved, e.g. engineers involved in conceptual design and those involved in the supervision of execution of works. (2)

Reinforcement was fabricated and fixed along with post tensioned mono strands (encased in HDPE pipe) to profile. After fabricating and fixing shuttering in position, micro concrete encasement was carried out throughout the core holes in the slab. End anchors of post tensioned strands were fixed in position.
