What are the benefits of metal formwork? Formwork material

What type of structure is called steel formwork?

Depending on requirements construction project a special collapsible, adjustable structure in the form of steel formwork is used. It gives any monolithic structure a certain geometric shape. The design includes shields, as well as additional components and connecting elements.

Large panel formwork is produced in accordance with the standards of GOST 52085 of 2003.
In order for the steel formwork to be a ready-made and stable structure, it is necessary to pre-fabricate the panels. To manufacture them in accordance with regulatory requirements A high quality profile is used. The finished frame is lined with laminated plywood, which serves as protective coating.
The height of one steel shield can reach three meters. If it is necessary to “increase” the height of the structure, the use of so-called additional panels is allowed. Items may be different types at the request of the customer in accordance with the requirements of the construction project.

In modern monolithic construction, permanent formwork is most often used. According to its characteristics, it is universal, as it can easily be adapted to other buildings.
High-quality formwork should be characterized by high bearing capacity, resistance to deformation, strength and stable geometric dimensions.

Steel panel formwork

The monolithic structure receives the final geometric shape thanks to high-quality steel panels. Depending on the type of construction project, panels come in different types:
- hinged shield
This element allows you to form large angles up to 135 degrees.
- angle of internal, external and zero type
For the construction of structures with right angles.
- universal shield
Used on straight sections.
- stripping corner
- radial shield

What auxiliary elements are used for formwork?

These can be various components, ranging from locks to pins, couplers, struts, spacers, grips, scaffolding, depending on the type of formwork and technical requirements.
What is steel formwork?
We are talking about large-panel formwork, which is necessary for the construction of industrial, road or civil complexes. Thanks to the auxiliary structure, it is possible to create strong and stable monolithic structures, erect walls, and form columns.
The Formwork Leader Group company will supply panel formworks that meet all building regulations. The products are reliable, safe, durable, and have an affordable price.
Why steel formwork?

In construction it is important that every element finished design was reliable and strong. Formwork can be considered the basis of the future building. Therefore, it is recommended to approach its choice responsibly and competently. You need to pay attention to the following points:
- on product quality;
- for a guaranteed service life;
- compliance with building codes;
- a list of declared characteristics;
- on the price of the structure;
- on design features.

Metal formwork– structures of increased reliability, used for concreting objects of various configurations and complexity. Such systems are able to withstand loads that are contraindicated for wooden or plastic equipment. There are steel and aluminum models on sale. The latter are somewhat inferior in strength, but have the advantage of lightness and ease of installation.

Advantages

The advantages of metal formwork include:

• strength;
• versatility;
• durability;
• high quality concreting;
• easy installation/disassembly.

If you decide to buy metal formwork, you will pay more than for similar plastic or wooden system. However, these costs are more than offset by the durability of the material. If used in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements, high-quality equipment can withstand hundreds of cycles, which far exceeds the capabilities of wood and PVC. In addition, if the main elements wear out, their life can always be extended through repairs. In other formworks there is no alternative to replacement.

Quite often there are combined structures, the panels of which are made of laminated plywood, and all other elements are made of steel or aluminum. Such systems are also durable and reliable, and they will cost much less. Naturally, plywood wears out faster than metal, but it is also a fairly durable material that provides high quality filling. If metal formwork is required for one-time concreting, it is more profitable to rent it. There will be no need to spend money on further storage and maintenance.

Design

The basis of metal formwork structures is the shield. This is a sheet that is located on a frame - a frame of a certain shape, equipped with internal jumpers for greater rigidity. There are angular and linear products. Using shields different sizes assemble a system of the required configuration, connecting them with standard fasteners and additional tension locks. To maintain stability, special supports are used.

There are metal formworks for horizontal (ceilings, overpasses) and vertical objects (walls, facades, columns). Many designs are universal, that is, they can be used for concreting buildings for various purposes. When pouring horizontal floors, telescopic racks are often used to allow the equipment to be secured at the desired height. The more complex the object, the greater the need for auxiliary equipment(scaffolding, scaffolding, crane, etc.).

Factory-produced metal formwork undergoes rigorous pre-sale testing. The manufacturing accuracy of parts must correspond state standard. During control assembly, products are painted, lubricated with special materials, and marked. If you buy new equipment, the seller is obliged to provide installation instructions and a technical data sheet for it. The absence of these documents is not absolute evidence that there is something wrong with the product, but it is better to look for other options.

Much more often this situation arises when it comes to renting or buying used equipment. Here is the probability that documents are missing according to objective reasons, much higher. Such products are much cheaper, so many take this risk. There are practically no problems with renting. Reputable companies that make money from rentals carefully monitor their equipment, so having a passport does not play a special role. The design will definitely cope with your concreting.

Metal formwork purchased at a low price may not meet expectations in terms of durability. They may sell you a product that looks acceptable on the outside, but literally after a few cycles it will require more than just overhaul, and replacements of almost all key elements. When renting, the future fate of the equipment is not your concern, but here you can lose a lot of money. If you need long-lasting metal formwork, buying a new set is much safer.

When an object with unique characteristics is to be concreted, standard designs may not fit. In this case, you can order the production of a formwork system according to individual project. This service is provided by both domestic and foreign manufacturers. The first option is preferable due to its more affordable cost and speed of service. In any case, custom-made equipment will cost more than factory equipment. You can purchase steel and aluminum formwork in Moscow from our company. A wide selection of Russian and imported systems at affordable prices.

The formwork consists of reliable frame modular panels. They can be assembled into panels of different sizes and types, which is very convenient during installation. The panels are connected to each other by reliable elements of a prefabricated frame structure.

Advantages of steel formwork

Many construction companies Steel formwork is chosen due to the following qualities:

• Functionality;
• Durability;
• Reliability;
• Endurance;
• High rigidity and hardness;
• Corrosion resistance;
• Ability to withstand great pressure;
• Prevents warping, dents and gaps.

When using steel formwork, you can easily create walls with perfect smooth surface. You can fill walls of any thickness and type without wasting time on additional layers. This the best option for those who want to spend construction works quickly and efficiently.

The use of steel formwork reduces installation time

The frame of modern metal formwork panels is equipped with a special “spring surface”. Thanks to it, you can install and dismantle the structure much faster than other options. Agree, in times of great competition in the field monolithic construction this is a huge advantage.

Pay attention to the strength of the steel formwork. To further protect the frame of the metal shield from external influences, it is subjected to full hot-dip galvanization. This allows you to significantly increase its service life.

Convenient and multifunctional assembly of shields

An important advantage of steel wall formwork is modern assembly technology. You can combine panels in vertical and horizontal positions, adapting them to your design. Functionality This type of formwork is very wide.

You don't have to worry about the reliability of the fasteners. The panels are connected into solid panels with strong locks. They ensure the safety of the structure when pouring concrete mixture. You can use different fasteners to make the formwork suitable for the construction of any structures and buildings.

The versatility of metal formwork

For straight walls, the design of metal formwork involves the use of linear panels. Corner panels are used to pour concrete into straight monolithic corners. Universal shields can be used to work with corners of variable thickness and columns. They can also replace conventional linear shields.

Dimensions of metal formwork panels

The height of steel formwork panels can be from 2.5 to 3.3 meters. The width is possible from 0.25 to 1.2 meters.

What are the benefits of using steel formwork?

• You can significantly reduce the amount of finishing work.
