Concrete Placement and Curing in Quality Concrete Forming Systems


Despite the increasing popularity of modular and shipping container construction, concrete is still the most important building material, and for good reasons. Its compressive strength is unparalleled; no metal can rival it. In fact, metal is good at resisting tension, not compression. This is why in most structures, concrete and metal always go together and form what is known as reinforced concrete. Here’s a quick look at how concrete is prepared and poured into formwork.
 
Preparing the Formwork
 
There are other steps preceding formwork preparation but it’s this part where concrete actually starts to be involved. Concrete forms are crucial in the building process because they hold concrete until it hardens. They are made from wood, metal, or plastic, although in most large projects where huge volumes of concrete are involved, metal forms are the best option. There are suppliers that offer metal concrete forming systems to builders to help them achieve the best result.
