Horizontal Decks
The system consists of adjustable props (shoring) that are connected through top and sole plates or head jacks to distribute the burden evenly, formwork sheeting or formface that contacts the concrete, and bearers and joists to span between supports. The cost efficacy of horizontal systems is frequently enhanced by the reuse of panels and props for both slabs and walls.
Vertical Structures
For vertical walls and columns, the formwork is more heavily braced to withstand lateral pressure. Internal components include face panels, supported by studs and walers, and secured with form ties that carry the thrust of the concrete. For round columns, cardboard tubes (such as Formatube) serve as lightweight, disposable moulds. To achieve smooth finishes, form oil is applied to every contact surface. This also facilitates panel removal. All of the above must comply with AS 3610 and safety code practice, which ensures consistent structural quality, finish level, and site safety—from initial pour through to formwork reuse and dismantling
Automated Climbing Formwork
Formwork that utilises hydraulic power, exhibits diligent mechanical design, and incorporates advanced safety measures to transform the landscape of high-rise concrete construction. This solution facilitates sustainable, efficient, safe, and high-quality pours, ranging from reinforced rock pours to tall core structures, thereby establishing itself as an indispensable asset for contemporary and ambitious construction projects.
Background Information
A conventional formwork can be enhanced to incorporate additional functionalities, such as the ability to ascend to the designated building location. The climbing qualities of the formwork, along with the opening and closing features of the formwork shell, are critical parameters for assessing the performance of self-climbing formwork. You can learn more about our advanced self-climbing hydraulic formwork system research.
Advantages
-
Pressure resistance: Engineered to resist high lateral pressures typical in filling tight, reinforced rock molds.
-
Height scalability: Unlimited vertical reach—essential for tall, single-pour lifts.
-
Quality assurance: Hydraulic lifting ensures consistent pressure and panel positioning for smooth concrete finishes.
-
Reusability: Efficient use of modular components across both horizontal platforms and vertical pours, lowering long-term costs.
Core Topics
It is generally requisite that two floors be completed at the outset to facilitate the utilisation of the self-climbing formwork system. The determination of the length of the climbing rails is contingent upon the height of the concrete sections to be constructed, as well as the necessity for a finishing platform in instances where the concrete sections are elevated. As a result, the height of the concrete section to be constructed is significantly exceeded by the length of the ascending rails. An American patent for rail-guided self-climbing formwork is available here.
