Introduction
Selecting reliable steel concrete formwork is critical to improving construction quality, accelerating project progress and controlling long-term costs for builders, general contractors and formwork rental companies worldwide. Traditional steel concrete formwork is heavy, prone to rust, bulky for transportation and limited in compatibility with modern shoring systems, while aluminum formwork faces high procurement costs and weak load-bearing performance in complex projects.
As defined by American Concrete Institute (ACI), formwork is a core temporary structure for concrete pouring, which puts forward strict requirements on material strength, durability and assembly efficiency.
