Steel Formwork System: The Regular FAQ Guide

If you are a construction company or a Contractor and need to provide a Normal steel formwork system or OEM steel formwork system for your project, then you have come to the right place.

Because TSX is an experienced Manufacturer of Steel Formwork Especially for the OEM Steel Formworks, such as the Bridge Project, Building Project, Culverts, and Ditches Project.

Any formwork if you want, we all can produce if you can provide the detailed drawings with some similar pictures for our reference.

In addition, you will learn more about new styles of customized iron templates that are efficient and reliable.

1.How Do You Choose a Steel Formwork System Manufacturer?

First of all, we need to consider whether the formwork system manufacturer conforms to national standards and environmental protection production capacity.
Secondly, we need to consider the production capacity of the formwork manufacturer, that is, how long the delivery time  The delivery time of our formwork manufacturer is usually 4-6 weeks.

2.What are Quality Certifications can provide for the Steel Formwork?

We can provide SGS certifications for the steel formwork.

3.How do I know how much steel formwork I need to use? 

We can match the number of iron templates according to the area or total area of each part of the wall provided by you.

4.How much is the price of the steel formwork system?

The price of the steel formwork system is calculated according to the size and weight. The price is not fixed. It is necessary to check the real-time exchange rate and the market price of raw materials.

5.How Do You Ensure the Quality of the Steel Formwork system?

The formwork system is divided into different types, such as flat molds. We adjust the thickness or add auxiliary support products according to the height of the Formwork and the calculation of the technicians to ensure the quality of the Formwork, that is, increase the bearing capacity.

6.What are the Complete Processes of Steel Formwork’s System Manufacturing?

1.Choosing Material and Cutting.

2.Bending the edge.

3.Second Bending（Same Height to the Rib）.

4.Rib Cutting, Punch Hole, and Bending （As Client’s Request）.

5.Assembling and Welding.

7.How do I create a column in formwork?

1.Research Formwork engineering. Provide tools and materials.

2.Mark the size of the column at the bottom of the concrete. If the steel bar protrudes from the bottom of the concrete, connect with the steel bar.

3.Nail the edge of the column formwork the concrete. The internal dimensions of the column sides must allow a sheet thickness of 25 mm on each side. The column rim is prefabricated from wood.

4.Erect a connecting corner. Alternately insert the two prefabricated panels into the column edge to form a corner and nail them together. If necessary, support them diagonally with plates.

5.Place the rebar.

6.Erect the second corner of the column. Insert the remaining two panels into the edge of the column and nail them alternately! There must be a cleaning hole at the bottom of a panel.

7.Fasten the column formwork. Wrap the flat steel column clamps on the arch, and use a U clip to tighten them.

8.Check the alignment and dimensional accuracy.

8.Why steel formwork system is preferred?

1.Very strong and able to carry loads

2.Easy to be fixed.

3.Uniform size and surface.

4.Can be used more number times.

5.More durable than timber formwork.

9.What is the difference between the Steel Formwork system& OEM Steel Formwork system?

Only fixed formwork, walls, and ceilings can be constructed according to fixed specifications.

OEM Formwork system can be poured into different shapes and types according to different needs. It can adapt to different shapes in different locations.

10.What are the advantages of Using a Steel Formwork system in the Project?

1.Can be reused.

The panel of the formwork is iron and can be reused about 100 times.

2.Easy to disassemble.

The size of each formwork is not very large and can be disassembled and installed at any time.

3.The size can be customized at will.

There are no maximum and minimum specifications for the formwork, we can make it for you according to your wall requirements.

11.when can formwork system be removed

Walls and columns can be removed after about 24-48 hours

Slabs, with their props left under them, can typically be removed after 3-4 days

Soffits, with their props left under them, can be removed after one week

Props supporting slabs under 15 feet can be removed after one week

Props supporting slabs over 15 feet can be removed after two weeks

Props to supporting beams and arches under 20 feet can be removed after two weeks

Props to supporting beams and arches over 20 feet can be removed after three weeks

12.How is formwork measured

While you’ll be ordering concrete by volume, formwork is measured by area. Specifically, the area that will actually be in contact with the concrete. This means calculations will be in square meters (or square millimeters if more accuracy is needed).

To measure the area of formwork needed to support your concrete installation, multiply the perimeter or circumference by the length/height of the structure. Each side of concrete will need its own formwork calculation and more complex or irregular shapes will have more complex calculations.

13.What is Steel Formwork?

The formwork is essentially a temporary structure in which concrete can be poured and fixed while it sets.

14.What is the OEM Steel Formwork system?

According to your requirements: structure, shape, system, drawings to make it.

15.What are the components of a steel formwork system?
Reliable quality and consistent supply of new formwork components, such as steel frame, steel sheets, formwork beams, and floor props.

16.What are the requirements of good formwork?

1.It should be strong enough to withstand various dead and live loads. For example, self-weight, the weight of steel bars, the weight of wet concrete, worker’s load, and any other load during and after concrete placement.

2.It should be inflexible to build and effectively support and support to maintain its shape without excessive deflection.

3.The joints in the formwork should be tight enough to prevent leakage of cement slurry.

4.The formwork system should be created in a way that allows the different parts to be evacuated in the required order without shaking or damaging the concrete.

5.The material of the template should be cheap, easily available, and reusable many times.

6.The surface of the template should be flat and smooth and set appropriately to the required line and level.

7.When pouring concrete, the formwork material should not be bent or deformed due to sunlight, rain, or water.

8.It should be easy to remove.
