Formwork & Shuttering

Formwork and shuttering materials for hire or purchase — steel framing, panels, props and walers that hold a concrete wall or pour in place — supplied from our Ajman warehouse and placed and struck by our own teams across the UAE.

Formwork & Shuttering Systems

Formwork holds wet concrete to shape until it cures; shuttering is the facing that gives the finished surface. The system has to hold its line while the pour is placed and compacted, not only while it is empty.

The range covers the steel framing and the support components that carry the pour — props, walers and the connections between them — so the pressure of the concrete is transferred back into the structure.

Because the finished concrete takes the shape of the form face, alignment and joint quality matter as much as strength: a straight, tight form gives a straight wall and less making-good afterwards.

Formwork is supplied for hire or purchase as part of the access package, and the same teams that erect the scaffolding place and strike it. Where standard panels do not suit the structure, elements are fabricated in-house to the drawings.

Questions

Common questions

What is the difference between formwork and shuttering?

Formwork holds wet concrete to shape until it cures; shuttering is the facing that gives the finished surface. Both are supplied here as one system with its support components.

Who places and strikes the formwork?

The same teams that erect the scaffolding: formwork is supplied for hire or purchase as part of the access package, and the elements that standard panels do not cover are fabricated in-house.

Why does alignment matter so much?

Because the finished concrete takes the shape of the form face: a straight, tight form gives a straight wall and less making-good afterwards.

Can I hire shuttering for a concrete wall?

Yes. Wall shuttering — the steel framing, panels, props and walers that hold a concrete wall in place — is supplied for hire or purchase from our Ajman warehouse, and our own teams place and strike it.

What lengths do the H20 beams come in?

The product catalogue lists H20 formwork beams at 1.80 m, 2.45 m, 2.90 m, 3.60 m and 4.90 m, with 18 mm marine plywood, timber and LVL planks, steel boards and 16 mm × 6 m tie rods alongside them.
