Industrialized Formwork: Applications and how to choose the ideal one for your project

Industrialized formwork has played a fundamental role in the modernization of civil construction. By replacing conventional wooden methods, they bring significant gains in productivity, safety, quality and sustainability. Generally composed of galvanized steel or aluminum, they are reusable, modular and easy to handle, which makes the assembly and disassembly process faster and more precise.

Applications of Industrialized Formwork

These forms are used in the molding of structural elements such as:

Pillars and beams: Metal forms ensure repeatability and dimensional precision, favoring vertical and high-demand works.

Slabs: Modular formwork systems serve both flat and ribbed slabs, with versatility and resistance.

In-situ concrete walls: Widely used in residential projects, especially in housing programs with standardized units.

Staircases, elevator shafts and tanks: Allow for clean and fast execution even in elements with complex geometry.

How to Choose the Ideal Formwork for your Project

The correct choice of formwork depends on technical and economic factors:

Type and repetition of the structural element: For large repetitive volumes, metal forms are ideal.

Deadlines and cycles of the project: Industrialized systems reduce execution time and increase productivity.

Final finish: Metal forms offer a smooth finish, reducing the need for plastering.

Long-term cost-benefit: Even with a higher initial cost, frequent reuse compensates for the investment.
