Technology of monolithic concrete and reinforced concrete. Cleaning, restoration and installation of formwork

To increase the service life of formwork, as well as to improve the quality of the outer layer of concrete, you can use the service offered by leading manufacturers of formwork - cleaning and restoration of formwork. Cleaning is performed in the factory at industrial installations. Cleaning formwork is especially important after the completion of large projects.

Since the formwork elements are made of different materials, then their service life is different. The formwork coating wears out faster than the frame, in many cases it is more profitable to restore it than to buy new. Full repair usually costs 1/3 of the cost of a new item. If necessary, elements can be technically improved.

Formwork systems on the Russian market are represented by the following foreign companies (in alphabetical order): "Aluma Sistems" (Canada), "DOKA" (Austria), "MEVA" (Germany), "NOE" (Germany), "Outinord" (France) , "PERI" (Germany), THYSSEN HUNNEBECK (Germany).

Among domestic producers can be called: "DVK-E", "Stroymetallkonstruktsiya", TSNIIOMTP. The MODOSTR system of Belarusian specialists from BelNIIS (represented by the Stromtrading company) is also presented in the Russian Federation.

Installation of formwork systems. Formwork systems are delivered unassembled to the construction site, which is convenient for storage and transportation.

Installation of modern formwork systems is carried out by qualified personnel manually and with the help of construction equipment: cranes, scaffolding, scaffolding.

In some cases, for example, in the central parts of cities, in the reconstruction, where there is no possibility to accommodate construction equipment, special formwork systems are used, the installation of which is completely done manually. In this situation, it is of great importance both the weight of the formwork elements, and therefore the material used for the manufacture of formwork, and the size of the formwork elements. The complexity of the installation work affects the overall construction time of the structure.
