What is Form work?

■ Formwork in construction is the use of support structures and moulds to

create structures out of concrete which is poured into the moulds.

■ Formwork can be made using moulds out of steel, wood, aluminum and/or

prefabricated forms.

■ Formwork is an ancillary construction, used as a mould for a structure. Into

this mould, fresh concrete is placed only to harden subsequently. The

construction of formwork takes time and involves expenditure up to 20 to

25% of the cost of the structure or even more.

■ The operation of removing the formwork is known as stripping. Stripped

formwork can be reused. Reusable forms are known as panel forms and

non-usable are called stationary forms.
