METHODOLOGY FOR FORMWORK SYSTEMS PROPOSED

HY-RIB Stoppers for construction joints:
Hy-rib stoppers shall be used in the foundation where mass construction of concrete
has to be done with-out any construction joints or heavy dense reinforcement is used
where it is difficult to erect vertical formwork shutter.
Hy-rib permanent formwork comprises of Zinc-coated steel which are
formed into a ribbed expanded mesh.
It is a lost type formwork item to form construction joints in concrete &
Stopper ends for retaining walls, columns & beams. It can also be used to
support horizontal slab flooring.
It will produce a surface which will bond directly with the next pour.

Method Statement for Column Formwork:
Formwork Erection:
Making of shutter panels
1) Drill holes in H-beams for fixing beam clamp, lifting
bracket & Working platform bracket.
2) Make shutter panels (without/with fixing of walers
and accessories) of required size including cutting
plywood for stitching with H-beams.
3) Fix of wooden planks (40mm) at top & bottom sides
of shutters. Minimum size of column that can be
done is 300mm x 300mm.
4) The shutter panels can be combined as an L
shaped panel using angle plate& lifted to next location.
5) Fix starter suitable to column size.
6) Remove the forms for starter after concreting is
over.
7) After concreting clean the shutters with water jet for any excess / over concreting.
Assembly of formwork:
1) Fix both shutter panels in position.
2) Fix tie rod, anchor plates and wing nuts at the corner of shutters in each waler level.
3) Fix Alignment props/supporting brackets with Head adaptor assembly and
foot adaptor assembly on the adjacent sides of the shutters.

WALL FORMWORK
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:
Wall Formwork is a complete

Formwork system, which mainly consists of plywood sheathing backed by H-Beams and
Steel walers (ISMC 100 B/B
channels). The support is given
by double nut alignment props
which can be used to
align the shutters to the required angle and position.
These shutters can be erected
manually &also can be handled
by crane.
Besides giving smooth concrete
finish this system comes with
inbuilt safety and working
accessories.
Method statement for Wall Formwork:
Formwork Erection:
Making of shutter panels
1) Lay waler @ distance (or) predetermined location over the leveled surface. (Either a
timber platform or with lean concrete to accommodate the size of the shutter panel)
2) Drill holes in H-beams for fixing beam clamp, Lifting bracket & working platform bracket
at predetermined locations using suitable power drill.
3) Drill holes in H-beams with Drilling plate & safe guard for fixing M 6 x 70 bolts with
waler.
4) Place the H-beams above the waler and connect the same with beam clamp / M6 bolts.
5) Place the Plywood (the grains should be perpendicular to the timber beams) and ensure
proper butting of plywood with the Assembly.
6) Use only screws (1.5 long) for fixing plywood with H-beams. (approx. 8 nos for 8 x 4
plywood size )
7

L&T Construction
7) Fix wooden planks (40mm thk. x 160 mm) at top & bottom sides of shutters. Provide slot
in the top plank of lifting bracket location.
8) All the above should be done with an accuracy of ( + or -) 2mm
9) Any lengths of panel to suit the required dimension of walls can be formed using the
available lengths of waler, splice plate & connecting pins, if the system is to be crane
handled.
Erection of wall formwork:
1) The wall panels should be placed on the outside first and all the gaps to be filled
appropriately using fillers/sponge etc. for maintaining the form finish, then reinforcement can be tied and inner shutters be placed.
2) The wall panels should be placed alongside each other & aligned properly; edges
checked using plumb bob and line threads.
3) The joints of the wall panels should be filled with sponge or appropriate filler material
so that the slurry leakage is arrested.
4) The tie rod hole locations shall be made prior to erection of shutters so that the
alignment &pattern of hole locations is to be maintained uniformly. No other holes
should be allowed to drill later.
5) The grout check has to be fixed to the shutters at the top so that the concrete level can
be maintained in a straight line for the pour and it also acts as a starter for the second
pour above.
6) Fix timber spacers to maintain the wall thickness at top.
7) High strength tie system bears large concrete pressures and avoids load-bearing struts.
8) Panels can be made in large units for handling by crane and in smaller ones to facilitate
manual handling.
9) Panels can be used along with Climbing Formwork system for the more height.
De-shuttering of wall formwork:
1) First remove Wing nut, Anchor plates, Tie rods, Head adaptor assembly, Alignment
struts, Supporting Brackets, Foot adaptor assembly.
2) Remove shutters (each separately) with the help of crane or manually.
3) In case of subsequent lifts remove climbing brackets, Suspended platforms handrail post,
accessories.
4) In case of shutter being used for subsequent lifts the Alignment struts head adaptor
assy., Foot adaptor assy., Supporting Brackets need not be removed.
5) Stacking of wall shutters shall be done vertically with fabricated steel racks (Ref. fig vertical stacking of formwork).

L&T Construction
FLEX SYSTEM
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:
The forms shall be made with plywood backed by H-beam & supported by using props. Props
take the load and shall be erect in position using tripods for lateral stability. The spacing between the timber beams shall be in accordance with design criteria & should be properly
screwed to the plywood and safely placed over the props to avoid toppling.
The props are designed to take care of the vertical loads which are tested under maximum
loading conditions. The spacing of CT prop will be decided based on the thickness of the slab
i.e. load coming from the slab & the prop height required. More the height, the lesser will be
the capacity so it should be ensured that use of props in the fully extended condition should
be avoided.
Method statement for FLEX FORMWORK:
Formwork Erection:
Erection of FLEX SYSTEM:
1) Mark Props location.
2) Place main Props I step, Tripods, - II step, Four way heads III step.
3) Use four way heads over props at the lapping joints of primary H-beams.
4) Place primary & secondary layers of H-beams.
5) Place plywoods and screw with H- beams.
6) No need to place tripod at all the prop Location but should provide at ends and joints
of primary H-Beam
9

L&T Construction
7) Maintain the required level of slabs by adjusting the props.

8) Apply shutter release agent over plywood surface & fix masking tape in joints of
plywood to avoid slurry leakage.
De-shuttering of flex formwork:

1) Lower the props height by collapsing.
2) Remove secondary beams and parallel remove plywood.
3) Remove primary beams.
4) Remove four way heads and Intermediate props.
5) Remove main props, four way heads, Tripods.

Elimination of unsafe acts and conditions

Inclusion of Safety Aspects in the design itself
Integrating Safety into Systems & Work Methods
Should Confirm the Scheme drawing before doing any formwork
Activity in site.
Proper Slinging and Rigging Practices should be followed while
lifting the formwork assembly.
Strength and Location of lifting hooks should be checked.
No loose materials should be kept on the formwork panels or top
platforms.
Panels should be pre-checked before lifting
Safe Design
Adequate Factor of Safety for Formwork System and individual Components

Components can be inspected easily to check design adequacy and
acceptance criteria
Consideration of concrete pressure and rate of pouring in formwork
design
Formwork System is self-aligning and self-standing
Easy to fasten accessories
System integrated aligning and bracings
