The document discusses the requirements of good formwork for construction projects. There should be 8 key requirements: 1) Easy removal so it does not damage the concrete surface, 2) Economy by reducing costs through proper design, 3) Strength to withstand loads from concrete, compaction, and curing, 4) Rigidity with minimal deflection of no more than 1/300 of the span for visible surfaces and 1/150 for hidden surfaces, 5) Minimal leakage through tight joints between sections, 6) Smooth surface for easy stripping and a quality finish, 7) Light weight for ease of handling, and 8) Use of quality materials to support the concrete pour and curing process. Proper design and construction are important to meet all
