Formwork FAQ
What is Formwork?
Formwork refers to the temporary or permanent molds into which concrete or similar materials are poured to form structural components like walls, slabs, columns, and beams. It is crucial in ensuring that structures achieve the desired shape, alignment, and finish — as emphasised by
WorkSafe ACT’s guidance on formwork and falsework.

Why should we use formwork?
Formwork ensures the concrete holds the correct shape and surface finish while curing. Good formwork improves safety on-site, speeds up construction, enhances structural quality, and helps achieve cost-effective, reliable results.
Is formwork only used for concrete?
Primarily, yes. Formwork is most commonly used to mold and support concrete until it achieves structural integrity. However, in some specialized construction projects, formwork can also assist in shaping other materials like plaster or even compacted earth in certain eco-building methods.
What is the thickness of these panels, and up to what height can they be used?
Panel thickness depends on the system but typically ranges from 12mm to 18mm for standard plywood-backed panels and is thicker for steel or modular panels. With proper support, formwork systems can easily handle heights up to 3–6 meters for walls or columns in a single pour, and higher with additional engineering controls.
How many times can it be used?
Reusable formwork systems offer significant cost benefits.
Timber formwork: 5–10 uses, depending on care.
Plywood formwork: 20–30 uses.
