Thirteen construction workers were severely injured while working at a mixed-use development in Oakland, California on May 2017. The cause of the accident was the collapse of a shoring system while concrete was being poured into the formwork it was supporting. Investigators later found evidence that point to safety violations committed by the three main contractors of the project, who were later fined $147,315 for damages.
This incident is a perfect example of the disaster that can happen if the concrete forming systems used during construction fall short of building standards, which begs the question, “what type of formwork is safe to use?” or “how do you know which type of material makes a good formwork?”
