What Is Suspended Slab Formwork?


Suspended slab formwork creates temporary support structures that hold concrete in place while it cures for elevated floor slabs. These systems are essential for multi-storey residential buildings, car parks, and commercial structures. The formwork consists of bearers, joists, and plywood sheets that form the base, supported by props or shores extending from the ground or lower floor level. Our systems accommodate various slab thicknesses and load requirements, ensuring structural integrity throughout the concrete pouring and curing process.
