Formwork provides support for concrete until it gains strength to support itself. There are several types of formwork components including timber, plywood, metallic, plastic, fabric, stay-in-place, and permanent insulated concrete formwork. Each type has advantages such as durability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. Timber formwork uses boards to form a cavity structure, while plywood provides a lightweight and durable system. Metallic formwork uses steel plates and bars to form structures.

2. What is formwork?
Formwork is a temporary structure which
provide support of concrete. Support of formwork
remove after concrete gain their own strength to
bear self load and other load that comes on it.

3. Types of formwork component
• Timber Formwork
• Plywood Formwork
• Metallic or Steel Formwork
• Plastic Formwork
• Fabric Formwork
• Stay-In-Place Formwork
• Permanent Insulated or Insulated Concrete Formwork

4. Types of formwork component
Timber formwork - takes
the form of a structure of
boards surrounding an
open cavity, and also offers
several advantages over
other formwork types.

5. Types of formwork component
Plywood formwork is
a lightweight, durable
and eco-friendly
system that provides
high quality concrete
cast surface.

6. Types of formwork component
Metallic or steel formwork
- features large steel
plates secured together
with bars and couples
known as falsework.

7. Types of formwork component
Plastic formwork -
systems have been
creating a buzz in recent
times with their
advantages including
flexibility, durability and
cost-effectiveness.

8. Types of formwork component
Fabric formwork - can be used in
both cast-in-place and precast
applications. It offers several
advantages over conventional
formwork technology and provides
opportunities for innovations in
architectural and structural
concrete members.

9. Types of formwork component
Stay-in-place formwork - in such
Systems, after concrete pouring and
hardening, the Formwork systems
remain in place as an integral part of
the structure and contribute to the
structural integrity, durability and even
aesthetics of concrete elements.

10. Types of formwork component
Permanent insulated or insulated
concrete formwork consists of
twin-walled expanded polystyrene
panels that are stacked together
to create the permanent
formwork used to contain the
ready-mixed concrete for the
walls.
