Assembly, Erection and Stripping
Planning Stage
Planning and preparation are the
keys to a successful application of
any formwork system.
To determine the amount of
formwork material that will be
needed, a number of influencing
factors should be taken into account
such as:
Æ movement of formwork on the
site, including weight to be handled
and capacity of lifting equipment
Æ project schedule
Æ construction joints (if specified)
that define concrete placements
Æ pour plan & sequence, taking
into account the number of corners,
pilasters, etc. in each pour
Æ stripping requirements
Æ concrete placement method
Æ reinforcing steel placement
method
Æ site conditions and accessibility
Æ coordination with other trades
Once all these aspects have
been considered, the quantity of
formwork can be determined.
During the planning stage some
general aspects of the forming
details should also be considered,
such as incorporating stripping relief.
Continuous formwork between two
structural elements such as walls
or pilasters should utilize stripping
corners, pilaster panels, or job built
fillers to facilitate stripping.
A safety plan should be developed
to address all aspects of the
formwork operation including
assembly, erection, concrete
placement, and stripping. Adequate
fall protection must be provided as
required by all applicable regulations
& codes.
