Pier Column Formwork

Pier column formwork is a special shaped mold for concrete pouring of piers in bridge, highway, railway and municipal engineering, and it is the core construction equipment for the substructure of bridges. It is mainly used to restrain and shape freshly poured concrete, bear concrete lateral pressure, construction loads and wind loads, ensure the forming dimension, surface flatness and structural accuracy of piers, and serve as the key tooling to guarantee pier construction quality.
Manufactured with high-quality Q235B steel in general, the pier column formwork is composed of face plate, flange, rear rib, stiffener, waler, bolts, tie rods and other connecting parts. According to engineering design requirements, it can be customized into various special-shaped structures such as cylindrical, rectangular, round-ended, hyperbolic, vase-shaped and Y-shaped, adapting to solid piers, hollow thin-walled high piers, corbelled piers and other pier types. Conventional pier formwork is reinforced by bolting, tie rods or trusses; hydraulic climbing formwork and sliding formwork systems can be matched for high pier construction to realize automatic climbing operation.
Featuring high strength, great rigidity, low deformation rate, excellent airtightness and tight assembly joints, the pier column formwork effectively avoids common concrete quality defects such as slurry leakage, dislocation, honeycomb and pitting, delivering piers with smooth surface and straight alignment. With the advantages of convenient assembly and disassembly, high turnover rate and outstanding durability, it significantly improves pier construction efficiency, shortens the construction period and reduces project costs. It is widely applied in civil engineering projects including expressways, railway bridges, interchanges and municipal overpasses.
