Formwork
Wall Formwork Systems
Heavy duty modular wall formwork for shear walls and retaining structures.
Formwork
Column Formwork System
Universal adjustable steel-framed panels and circular steel shutter shells engineered for fast, accurate casting of square, rectangular, and cylindrical columns with pristine fair-faced concrete quality.
Key Highlights
- Step-less or 50 mm incremental adjustment from 200 mm to 1200 mm
- Designed for rapid full-height single-stage pours up to 90 kN/m²
- Tie-free external clamping options eliminate through-wall tie holes
- Circular column two-piece hinged steel shells for round piers
- Integrated crane-liftable concreting platforms and OSHA ladder brackets
Precision Vertical Alignment & Finish
Column formwork systems are essential for creating vertical concrete structures such as columns and piers. These systems provide a sturdy framework to support the concrete until it sets, ensuring the accurate shape and alignment of columns.
Used in residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects, they offer quick setup, high reusability, and precise results. Advantages include reduced labour costs, enhanced safety, and the ability to produce smooth, high-quality finishes, making them indispensable in modern construction.
Technical Advantages
- Universal Windmill Design — 4 identical panels assemble in a windmill pattern to form multiple sizes.
- High Pour Pressure — Rated for 90 kN/m² for uninterrupted fast pumping.
- Chamfered Edges — Built-in chamfer strips prevent grout bleeding and create sharp, clean column edges.
- Long Service Life — Heavy structural steel framing with high-durability coatings.
