Know More About Concrete Slab Formwork

https://alumlight.co.il/en/

Concrete slab formwork is an important concrete work that requires concrete contractors to complete. A concrete slab must be built in strong concrete structures that can support the concrete weight. Concrete slab formwork normally will be completed by building concrete forms. The concrete forms are attached to wooden-framed structures and made watertight with the help of polyethylene sheets.

Concrete Contractors who do concrete slabs need knowledge related to concrete, construction equipment, etc. If you are a new person in this job field, you may consider getting some advice from experienced workers or reading articles about concreting jobs .

The following steps should be considered for using concrete slab formwork:

1) Build Forms for Concrete Slabs around the concrete foundation.

2) Install cross bracing between concrete forms to make concrete slab formwork stronger.

3) Erect the concrete forms around concrete footing with the help of temporary braces and stakes, if necessary.

4) Apply a release agent (petroleum jelly or non-drying lubricating oil) on the inner surface of concrete forms to avoid sticking to freshly placed concrete.

5) Fill the voids among concrete forms and concrete foundations with pieces of broken bricks or stones by filling behind and under concrete formwork .

6) Remove the temporary braces and cut off heads of nails below top edge level before placing concrete in concrete slab formwork.

7) Add grade boards at both side edges after placing fresh concrete till it is about 2-3 inches thick.

8) Screed concrete slab formwork surface with a straight bar or large piece of flat wood.

9) Float concrete slab formwork to achieve required concrete finish by using a long, straight board as a screed .

10) Spray clean water on concrete slab formwork till the concrete sets.

11) Cover the concrete forms if the concrete is exposed for more than 48 hours after placing concrete in forms.

12)(a) Apply protective coating over concrete after one day depending on weather conditions and other conditions, if necessary. (b) Also apply protective coatings over concrete surfaces before exposing them to rain or snow as per manufacturer’s recommendations, if necessary.

13) Remove concrete slab formwork from concrete surface after concrete has been cured.

14) Allow concrete to cure for a few days before removing concrete slab formwork from concrete foundation .

15) Remove the remainder of transit water or moisture by drying concrete with a fine stream of air after the forms have been removed.

16) Store reusable steel and wooden forms properly, if necessary.

17) Perform proper maintenance activities related to your equipment so they will last longer.

Understanding Light Modular Formwork

Light Modular formwork is a light and quick system that allows the creation of light structures.

It’s estimated that the light modular formwork has low weight, it can be assembled with screws and different connectors, as well as it is designed for buildings less than 8 meters high. The light modular formwork (LMF) combines the benefits of light and temporary structures at a lower cost and time saving. It’s usually used in areas like warehouses or school construction.

On one hand, light modules are made from steel profiles by using aluminium plates or plywood boards which come in several standard thicknesses depending on the specific cases. On the other hand, scaffolds are usually assembled by connecting U-profile main beams with brackets called cambas. These light modules allow the construction of light formwork which is quick and easy to assemble with screws.

LMF can be designed for buildings less than 8 meters high, mainly because it’s made from steel profiles and aluminium plates or plywood boards which come in several thicknesses. Scaffolds are usually assembled by connecting U-profile main beams with brackets called cambas, a light temporary system that has a low cost and time saving. It’s a light structure material that allows the creation of light structures on different types of surfaces such as woods, concrete slabs, poured floors or even existing ones. On one hand LMF light modules are made from steel profiles by using aluminium plates or plywood boards which come in several standards. On the other hand light scaffoldings are usually assembled by connecting U-profile main beams with brackets called cambas.

The light modular formwork allows to increase productivity and reduces risks on workers.

As it is light, Alumlight does not require special transport infrastructure, allowing the use of standard workstations such as forklifts or cranes. This light structure system can be installed in a short time without problems of transportation and/or assembly. Moreover, the light modules allow users to quickly execute elevations and present them in real time before starting any construction process. That’s why it is easy to install, fast and less expensive than traditional systems that need more workforce and longer installation times which results in significant cost savings for customers.

LMF can be installed rapidly without requiring special transport infrastructure allowing standard workstations such as forklift or cranes to use this light structure system. That’s why light modules are light, don’t require special transport infrastructure and can be installed in a short time without problems of transportation or assembly.

One advantage is that light scaffoldings are usually assembled by connecting U-profile main beams with brackets called cambas. These slab support system allow the construction of temporary structures on different types of surfaces such as woods, concrete slabs, poured floors or even existing ones. This type of structure is designed for buildings up to eight meters high and light modular formwork allows the creation of light structures on different surface types like wood, concrete slabs, poured floors etc.
