NOVA FORMWORKS

  Modern formwork systems feature a speed of erection, safety, cost-effectiveness, and versatility. Wooden scantlings and timber runners were used in the first formwork systems because they allowed for easy shaping and building on site. However, with time and with frequent use, these wooden scantlings and timber runners lose their structural and dimensional qualities, causing safety concerns. Because of poor formwork and scaffolding, many accidents occur in the Reinforced Cement Concrete building industry.   Although it is not always simple to implement architectural concepts, there is a growing trend in modern architecture for imaginative and organic shapes. Concrete, in theory, is the ideal material for creating a wide range of forms since new concrete can be poured into any formwork shape. Traditional formworks, on the other hand, are rigid and straight-lined, resulting in flat walls and rectangular beams or columns.   For more organic design, these concrete sh...

  In construction, formworks or shutters are mould structures in which concrete is poured so that it gets support while its hardened. When the strength of the concrete poured reaches the required levels to hold its own weight, the forms are taken out. So a formwork works as a frame of a temporary or permanent structure into which concrete is poured and given a particular shape.   What are the things to be considered for a good formwork? ●         It must be strong enough to bear the loads that come with the construction process. ●         Formwork joints must be tough to maintain sagging, twisting and bulging due to load actions in the minimal level to prevent disfigurement on the concrete surface. ●         Formwork should be easy to detach for repeated use and minimize damage costs. ●         Lines in the formwork must be sha...

  The construction industry is growing at a great speed every day and it is giving a huge contribution to the national economy. Coming to the concrete formworks system there are many different materials in formwork but plastic formworks are currently the best. Nova Formworks have plastic formwork at the top of the list which can be used in many applications. Plastic formworks have bought a revolution in the construction industry.   The structure of plastic formwork for concrete escalates the force area and improves the edge structure. The extent level of force increases the strength and quality of the formwork frame. It will make you sure that the entire structure is steady, and solid, and guarantees the security of every development workforce. With Nova Formworks you simply don’t have to stress over the development.   Apart from that, the plastic formwork system is completely eco-friendly eliminating any risk to the environment. When it comes to the benefits of ...

The world is rapidly growing and urbanizing and because of that is the reason there are more and more people needing houses. That is much more than the previous demand. The question arises that whether conventional building methods are able to cope with the ever-increasing demand for quality homes.   People demand for a low cost housing construction with a great quality and Nova Formworks is right here for the rescue. Nova Formworks involves the use of a unique removable, reusable, recyclable and lightweight plastic formwork which can be reused 100 times. The result for using these plastic formworks is a fast track cost effective and transferable construction technology, which reduces the cost of construction and transportation significantly. This also facilitates the possibility for many in situ structures to be built in just one day. It is essentially the simplicity of its design and performance that contributes to the affordability.   Now, there is a huge mis-conce...

  Formwork in concrete construction is nothing but a mold for a structure where fresh concrete is poured with the purpose of strengthing it consequently. The only essential ingredient used in concrete construction is formwork. Formworks are temporary or permanent moulds into which concrete is poured until the concrete becomes self-supporting. There are many types of formwork used in concrete construction. Let us talk about how we use formwork with column and beam.   Column Formwork is made to be able to accommodate relatively high and fresh concrete pressures as comparatively small cross-sections are concreted quickly. Therefore, the joints in particular are to be designed very carefully and tightly sealed.   Beam formwork is generally formed with either timber or metal panels. In this type of formwork, the process is to produce a box surrounded with frames at the perfect size of the beam and fasten it firmly from base or at the last phase of beam concreting. The...

  Formwork is an arrangement of bolts, boards and much more, used to shape reinforced concrete or similar material while it is setting. It is also called shuttering. The formworks are made of wood or metal such as steel or aluminium, but now a revolutionary material has taken over that is plastic. It comes at an affordable cost and has many environmentally friendly benefits.   Out of all the formworks, plastic formwork is the most successful in the modern age. This formwork is continuously adjustable and has many advantages that can be widely used in the construction field. There are many advantages to plastic formworks.   ●         The panels of this formwork are lightweight, firm and easier to handle and manage. ●         It is easy to clean this form with water as the concrete does not stick to it. ●         A plastic shuttering does not require oil as ...

  The column formwork systems now available are normally modular in nature and allow quick assembly and erection on site while minimizing labour and crane time. They have a variety of internal surfaces depending on the concrete finish required. Column shuttering can have integral concreting platforms with guard rails and access equipment including ladders. This reduces the need for independent access. In some systems, the props used to stabilize the column formwork are integral. They are easy to clean and reuse with little waste generated compared with traditional formwork. At Nova Formworks they have an alternative approach for circular columns, which is to use disposable formwork that consists of cardboard tubes with a plastic liner. These are left in place until the concrete has gained sufficient strength and then the cardboard is carefully removed. For this type of column formwork , working platforms for concreting have to be erected separately to allow access to the top of...
