Page14.12&13, Clause14.29 (3)(7) )

◼ Formwork shall be firmly supported and individual


panels shall be rigid. Joints between formwork
panels, stop ends and adjoining concrete shall be
tight and shall not permit grout loss. Gaps shall be Kicker
sealed with gaskets, filler, sealant or tape before
the application of release agents.

◼ If required for cleaning or inspection, temporary


openings shall be provided in the formwork.
Temporary openings shall not be cut in any
formwork without the approval of the Engineer.

Formwork for cast-in-situ
◼ The form is erected on site in location.

◼ Inspection is very important in all stage formwork


and should consist of checking the various forms, to
ensure sufficiently strong and rigid enough.

◼ The checking should be included all part of formwork


i.e. wedges, braces and ties etc.

◼ The size, level, plumb and alignment also be check


time to time.

◼ Falsework, scaffolding and working platform are the


main accessories.

Precast concrete form
◼ Precast concrete usually has to be made within fine limit of accuracy
and to a high degree of finish.

◼ Precast units have to fit and easily install when delivery on site.

◼ The mould boxes have therefore to be carefully made to permit these


standards in casting.

◼ For mass production purpose, it is necessary to be able to strike a


mould when the concrete is in a vary green state, both to permit early
re-use of the forms and to enable the finished article to be cleaned
down when in a workable state.

◼ Its panel or unit should come square away from the concrete face and
not side off it.

◼ Hinge, tenon and easy bolt shall be used for joint of erection.

◼ The placing direction is always different from the design on site. 8

Form tie (tie bolt) to through the two pieces of wall form panels and tie them together,
which acts in tension due to pressure from elevated height difference of fresh concrete.

Basic woodworking machinery
(in face to face session)
https://www.labour.gov.hk/eng/public/os/A/WWMR.pdf
There is a high risk of accident from the use of woodworking machinery.
In spite of improved safeguards, many people using these machines are
injured each year.
The facts show that injuries from these accidents are invariably more
serious than those caused by ordinary machinery and a great many of the
victims suffer from permanent incapacity.
The Factories and Industrial Undertakings (Woodworking Machinery)
Regulations lay down standards of safety measures for woodworking
machinery and impose duties on proprietors to protect persons operating
the machinery. At the same time, the Regulations also place a legal
obligation on persons employed to use the guards and safety devices
provided.
