Completed falsework: Decking and some formwork has been added. The illustrations are of modern pipe-column falsework, used to support the formwork for a post-tensioned reinforced concrete flyover connector for the eastern span replacement of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. When the supports are complete, wood beams and plywood or reusable ...

In August 1972 the falsework that had supported the westbound carriageway deck pour was moved over to the eastbound carriageway. [1]: 113 The two structures were separated by a gap of just 2 feet 10 inches (0.86 m). [1]: 111 The falsework was dragged across on a temporary track. It was inspected and some defects were rectified before it was put ...
Right: Northern columns, falsework, and formwork (westbound to tunnel upper deck). Late 2011 Progress: A portion of the SAS span is seen the bottom of the image. Late Summer, 2012: The westbound link falsework and formswork were disassembled and are now used to construct the eastbound link (center of image).
Shoring is designed to prevent collapse where shielding is only designed to protect workers when collapses occur. Concrete-structure and stone-building shoring, in these cases also referred to as falsework, provides temporary support until the concrete becomes hard and achieves the desired strength to support loads.
Formwork is molds into which concrete or similar materials are either precast or cast-in-place. In the context of concrete construction, the falsework supports the shuttering molds. In specialty applications formwork may be permanently incorporated into the final structure, adding insulation or helping reinforce the finished structure.
Construction site safety is an aspect of construction-related activities concerned with protecting construction site workers and others from death, injury, disease or other health-related risks. Construction is an often hazardous, predominantly land-based activity where site workers may be exposed to various risks, some of which remain ...
It expanded rapidly in formwork and scaffolding under GKN ownership in the end of the 1980s. [2] In June 2000, GKN Kwikform merged with RMD (Rapid Metal Developments, established in 1948), the formwork and scaffolding unit of RM Douglas (part of Tilbury Douglas), to form RMD Kwikform. [3] [1] Tilbury Douglas renamed itself Interserve in 2001. [4]
