Deshuttering of Slab and Methods
Deshuttering of Slab
Installing formwork, sometimes referred to as formwork, for a slab, when covering an area of more than a thousand square meters, is easier than removing the forms later, after the concrete has been poured, which is generally called peeled. You can imagine that it is easy to remove the forms, but the truth is that it is very difficult and risky.
Before removing the blinds from the concrete slab, you should establish the “Statement of Method” or “Methodology” of how to perform safe removal. The process involves risks and dangers, especially in a high-rise building.
The engineer or consultant can prevent you from deleting the forms without their approval and consent, and will sometimes even ask the contractor to submit the reshuttering methods.
So, here is the methodology on how to open a slab safely.
All equipment or apparatus to be used on site must be installed before work begins. The site crew and scaffolds must be adequate for the job.
Formwork should not be removed until the concrete has acquired sufficient strength to hold. When supported limbs can support themselves and the load they are carrying, supports and centers can be removed.
