Common Mistakes in Formwork

Mistakes during formwork lead to losses of time, money and comfort. Here are the most common mistakes to avoid when doing formwork in Samsun.

Insufficient Shoring

Spacing props too far apart causes the formwork to collapse under fresh concrete or the slab to deflect.

Skipping the Plumb Check

Without a pre-pour level and plumb check, crooked columns and walls are cast; these errors are irreversible defects.

Premature Stripping

Stripping before the concrete cures causes strength loss, cracking and reduced load capacity.

Leaking Form Joints

If joints are not sealed, cement paste leaks, producing surface voids and exposed reinforcement.
