How to Choose Formwork Materials between Plywood and Steel?
Plywood is a manufactured product of timber. It is also used for formwork system. It consists of a number of veneer sheets or plies in layers. Nowadays, the use of plywood formwork increases especially for film faced plywood. The reason behind it is that the plywood formwork provides smooth finish when compared to normal timber formwork. Therefore, finishing cost may reduce by the use of film faced plywood. Film faced plywood formwork manufactured by ADTOGROUP has following advantages:

The Reason why We not Choose Timber Formwork
Timber is the most commonly used construction materials in the past. It is often used to fabricate props, formwork, scaffolding planks, scaffolding standards.etc. Timber logs, lumber, etc. are used as bracing members from ancient times. So, the formwork or scaffolding manufactured of timber are also called traditional formwork or traditional scaffolding. It is the most economical material used for formwork. Timber is more accessible for the people in remote mountain area compared to steel or aluminum. Therefore, it is still used in sites as formwork material for a number of years. The methods of constructing timber framework are well known to the workers.

What Can We Do to Protect Our Construction Workers?
According to the statistics, approximately 2.3 million construction workers frequently work on scaffolding system. Scaffold-related accidents cause about 4,500 injuries and 50 deaths every year. They also result in $90 million in lost workdays. Statistics also show 72% of workers injured in scaffold accidents attributed the accident to the scaffolding planks or scaffolding couplers giving way, or to the employee slipping or being struck by a falling object. These situations could be prevented with proper compliance with scaffolding safety operation standards. Taking steps to ensure compliance with the scaffolding standards could help employers protect workers and prevent significant costs. The following points are common scaffolding hazards:

How to Select Concrete Formwork System in Construction Projects?
Formwork system is defined as a solid barrier that helps to shape the concrete until it hardens and get a certain strength. The concrete takes the shape of the formwork system or molds in which it is contained. When it comes to the selection of concrete formwork systems, people think that it is dependent on the application of the formwork system in “where” and by what measures. The concrete formwork system selected for a construction project is dependent on the following points:

Why are There So Many Different Types of Scaffolding All Over the World?
There are many types of scaffolding systems used in construction projects all over the world. Sometimes a specific type of scaffolding is commonly used because the construction tools are available and a large number of people get a basic understanding of the scaffolding system.

Things you should do for scaffolding safety construction
Before getting on a scaffold check to make sure that a competent person has inspected the scaffold before the work shift and that it is safe to use and in proper working order. Scaffolds can only be erected, dismantled, altered or moved under the direct supervision of a competent person by trained personnel. If you are ever unsure regarding the safety of a scaffold check with a supervisor before use.

Things Need to be Considered when Designing Formwork System
Before the application and design of formwork system, one should have a basic understanding of how pouring materials in the formwork system exert pressure on the whole system. It is reported that concrete exert lateral pressure on the formwork system, and the whole formwork system is designed according to these lateral forces.

The Division of Formwork System According to Materials
Formwork system, or just so-called shuttering, is a temporary structure used to shape the pouring materials (commonly referred to as concrete). There are many kinds of formwork system in the world. Today we will make a brief introduction on different formwork systems.

Technological Gap between Chinese Scaffolding and Japanese Scaffolding
The technological level of scaffolding manufacturing in China is far behind that in Japan. There are only 2 to 3 steel formwork manufacturers in Japan, but more than 450 frame scaffolding manufacturers and scaffolding accessory manufacturers. In the 1950s, single-pipe tubular scaffolding was mainly used in Japan. Due to the frequent occurrence of safety accidents by using tubular scaffolding, the frame scaffolding had been widely used in the 1960s.

ADTO Plastic Formwork System
ADTO plastic formwork system is fabricated from high strength plastic. This kind of plastic materials is that neither placed materials adhered to it nor chemical reactions occur between poured materials and the plastic formwork. And consequently, there will be no residue on the surface of the reinforced concrete element.
