NOVA FORMWORKS

  Before construction is completed, it has to be put down to set. Since concrete takes about 24-48 hours to set and 28 days to gain the optimal strength, it needs to have support throughout those days. This is where formworks come in. it is a mold in which concrete is added to not only strengthen the structure but also form desired shapes. Formworks can be made from different materials like plastic, steel, and aluminium and come in several shapes and sizes. What are some functional requirements of formwork? ●         The form segments should come in a suitable size, which is not only easy to use but transported, and stored as well. ●         Every Formworks segment should have symmetry so that they can be interchanged when required. ●         Forms should be easy to build. ●         Although formworks should be lightweight, they should have enough strength to withstand the pressure and loads. Requirements of good Formwork ●         Shrinkage and deflection should be a min

  Steel is the hugely sought after material for formwork. Whether a project is big or small there is a need for shuttering. Steel formwork is used because of its wonderful qualities.   It has easy handling as it is light in weight. This makes carrying it from one place to another a comfortable proposition. Also, the damaged parts of steel formwork can be replaced without any hassle. Mentioned below are some of the advantages of steel formwork. 1.    Durability - Steel forms are quite durable. They are stronger than forms made of other material. This means that they can be used for a longer span of time sans any issue. Steel formworks have the capability of holding up both dead and live loads. 2.      Offers A Uniform Finish - Steel forms have a smooth surface finish. When a structure looks uniforms it without any doubt enhances its beauty and look. 3.    Great reusability - Steel formworks can be reused. They can be easily fixed up and dismantled. Now let us talk about a
