Formwork


by
Kevin 04/21/10


The garage formwork is going up quickly.
Once the footings are poured the outside wall of the formwork is constructed on top. The formwork gets build one wall at a time so it can be braced and straightened. Once it is correct then the rebar is tied and then the interior wall is tied to the exterior wall. The interior wall is very fast to construct since it is based on the exterior wall.

The shoring at the front of the picture is to form the garage door opening. After this garage is formed and poured the forms will be stripped and reused on the adjacent garage.
