Selecting the Suitable Formwork for Quality and Profitability

The pre-construction meeting is a crucial step where the entire construction team must thoroughly review the contract document. This document outlines the expectations of the criteria or a process for evaluating the project's formed concrete surfaces. ACI suggests that this discussion includes a review of the designer's specified desired surface finish, the owner's understanding of what the final product will approximately look like, and the contractor's selection of facing materials, release agents, and concrete mixtures to achieve the specified surface finish.

Contractors have been facing a significant challenge in recent years due to the introduction of new cement components in concrete mixes. These material changes are directly impacting the service life of the form's facing material, which in turn, is affecting the contractor's profitability.

In this 2024 Pre-construction series webinar, we will provide you with practical best practices and material options. These are not just theoretical concepts, but tools that you can apply to make the placement more efficient and productive, empowering you to excel on your next project.

If you design, place, or maintain structural concrete, this webinar's information is a must-listen.

Learning Objectives:

Contractors, architects and engineers who attend this webinar will be given a Certificate of Attendance for self-reporting certification purposes.
