steel formwork price is different depending on the factors such as material, dimension, manufacturing process, etc. we should consider the exactly project requirements to select the suitable steel formwork. In addition, steel formwork should match with some auxiliary components such as steel formwork pegs, steel formwork pins, etc.，to ensure the stability and accuracy of steel formwork. When you buy steel formwork, you should choose the supplier with good reputation to ensure the good formwork quality and after-sales service.

● Components of steel formwork

Steel formwork is mainly consist of steel formwork panels, supporting system, connection parts, reinforce materials, etc.

1. Steel formwork panels: Steel formwork panels is the key parts of steel formwork, usually made of steel. The width and length of steel formwork are usually composed of integer multiples of a certain base, for example, 1m, 2m, 3m, etc.

2. Supporting system: The supporting system is the frame of steel formwork reusable, it is used to support the steel formwork panels and ensure their stability. Supporting system usually consist of steel frame, steel panel, steel props formwork and so on.

3. Connection parts: The connection parts are used to join the parts of formwork of steel together, for example, between steel formwork panels and steel formwork panels, between steel formwork panels and supports, etc. Connection parts usually include U-shaped clips, L-shaped pins, hook bolts, butterfly fasteners, etc.

4. Reinforce materials: Reinforce materials are used to enhance the strength and stability of formwork of steel. For example, the thin rectangular or circular cross-section steel pipes in supporting system.

These components of steel formwork cooperate with each other and form a stable and reliable steel formwork system, to support and form the concrete structures.

● What is bridge steel formwork?

Bridge steel formwork is a kind of metal formwork for bridge structure building. It is reusable, mainly made of steel, has high strength and stiffness. Bridge steel formwork is mainly used for the piers, cap beams, beam slabs and other bridge parts, can bear large pressure and bending force. The bridge column steel formwork design and manufacture need strict calculation and testing, to ensure the safety and stability.

The manufacturing process of bridge steel formwork is complicated, it requires to use advanced machinery equipment and professional steel formwork design calculation software, carry out precise cutting, bending, welding, assembly and other processes. As a manufacture with strong technology ability and rich bridge steel formwork fabrication experience, we can offer customized services according to customer requirements.

The functions of bridge steel formwork in bridge construction are mainly include the following aspects:

Compare to traditional wooden formwork, steel formwork is more stable and durable, and can be disassembled and moved fast. This can short the construction period, improve construction efficiency, and mostly reduce the project delay.

5. Reusability: Steel formwork for concrete is a reusable construction mode with long service life. Once one bridge construction is finished, steel formwork for concrete can be disassembled and reuse into other projects. This not only save resource and cost, but also reduce the impact on the environment.

● Steel formwork vs timber formwork

Steel formwork and wooden formworks are two commonly used formwork materials in the building construction. They have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages of steel formwork:
1. High strength: Steel formwork is made of high strength steel, has good resistance to compression and bending, can bear large construction load.

2, Strong durability: Steel formwork has long service life, can be reused for many times. It is not easy to broken in use, saves the formwork investment and maintenance cost.

3 High construction efficiency: Steel formwork can achieve overall assemble and disassemble, easy to install, can greatly short the construction period, improve construction efficiency.

4. Flat formwork surface: Steel formwork has excellent manufacture process, the formwork surface is very smooth and flat, can meet the requirements of high demand building construction.

5. Good environmental performance: Steel formwork can reuse for many times, which can ease the shortage of forest resources to a certain extent.

Steel formwork disadvantages：
There are two disadvantage of steel formwork:
1, Has high requirement on building standardization: Steel frame formwork usually be designed at advance and carry out standardized production, this means, if the building structure is not standard enough, for example, if it has too many components, it has to modify the steel frame formwork, this will take more time and cost.

2, High requirement on management: Steel formwork is very heavy, need to be installed with a crane, so has high requirements on worker’s operation and construction skill. If the mangers are not skilled enough, the construction efficiency may lower than wooden formwork.

The advantages of wooden formwork:
High usage efficiency: The manufacture of wooden formwork is simple, it is easy disassembled, has high construction speed.

Good environmental performance: Wooden formwork mainly made of natural wooden and environmental coating, etc. it has few pollution to the environment during the construction.

Wide application range: Wooden formwork can be used to various parts of concrete structure construction, and has high customization degree.

Relatively low cost: Compare with other material formwork, such as steel formwork, aluminum formwork, the cost of wooden formwork is relatively lower.

The disadvantages of wooden formwork:
Easy to moisture and deformation: Wooden formwork is easy to be affected by humid environment, if not store correctly, it will suck the water and cause deformation, finally reduce its service life.

Easy to cause fire: The wooden formwork is easy to be fired, has bad anti-fire performance, and also easy to affect the surrounding environment.

Weak tightness: The interface of wooden formwork has weak tightness, which is easy to cause the concrete leakage, lower the project quality.

In general, both steel formwork and wooden formwork has their own advantages and disadvantages, users can make choice according to the special project situation, such as the standardization degree of building structure, construction period, environmental requirements, etc.
