Types of shuttering used in construction projects

.

While there are times when formwork or shuttering means the same, these two still cannot be used interchangeably. Why? Shuttering is basically a temporary mould or framework that is used in construction to hold or shape building materials until they harden up or become self-supporting.

These days, almost all the construction works include the use of concrete. It is actually a mixture of sand, gravel, and cement aligned with crushed rock and water. The mixture is then poured into a mould so it forms the desired shape when it dries. When that happens, it hardens up and possesses incredible strengths.

Bolts, clamps, and nuts are used to secure the panels. This kind of formwork is also great for curved structures like sewers, tanks, chimneys, etc. This sort of shuttering is easy to assemble and can be rescued numerous times.
