  Many construction projects are now calling for welded wire mesh to be used in making concrete slabs, instead of rebar. Wire mesh allows for thinner slab pours, and protects against future cracking by providing a framework for the concrete to hold to. Nova plastic formwork is the best choice so far. Reinforce wire mesh for concrete slabs so that it stays at the correct height during the pour, and so the mesh sheets remain together. Tips to use steel mesh reinforced concrete: 1. Amount of mesh and cutting The good thing about using steel mesh is that it does not require any special skills as rebar does. Steel mesh usually comes in rolls or sheets. While sheets are pre measured and cut, rolls need to be trimmed such that it fits the area it is intended to reinforce the concrete. When strengthening concrete sidewalks, for example, you measure the size of the excavated hole which is the size to cut the steel mesh to. Keeping height in mind, the same method applies when using the m

  Came across Nova Formwork Systems and would recommend it for a healthy and cost effective construction.   Nova formwork is the structure, usually temporary, used to contain poured concrete and to mould it to the required dimensions and support until it is able to support itself. It consists primarily of the face contact material and the bearers that directly support the face contact material. Falsework is the more robust structure that holds temporary formwork in place and is used in the temporary condition. Nova Formwork systems used for concrete frame construction have continued to develop significantly since the year 2004. The major innovations have focused on on-site efficiency of production, health and safety, and environmental issues, driving the concrete construction industry towards ever-increasing efficiency. Traditional formwork for concrete construction normally consisted of bespoke solutions requiring skilled craftsmen. This type of formwork often had poor safety fe
