Composite steel formwork rental: What buildings are steel formwork mainly used in?

1、 High rise buildings and civil engineering
High rise residential buildings
Steel formwork has significant advantages in the construction of reinforced concrete shear walls, which can improve the flatness and construction efficiency of the walls. It is suitable for pouring walls and floors of high-rise residential buildings with more than 30 floors.
Commercial complex
The beam and column structures of large shopping malls and office buildings often use composite steel formwork for standardized pouring to ensure the dimensional accuracy of the load-bearing structure.
2、 Infrastructure construction projects
Bridge engineering
Mainly used for the concrete forming of key parts such as bridge piers, box girders, and T-beams, its high-strength characteristics can meet the load requirements of bridges and improve construction safety. A typical case is the bridge deck pouring of a large-span cable-stayed bridge.
Water conservancy facilities
The main structure of the dam and the pressure pipelines of the hydropower station rely on steel formwork to achieve high-strength concrete pouring, ensuring the durability of water conservancy facilities.
3、 Industrial and Special Buildings
Industrial plant
The portal frame factory adopts steel formwork for pouring columns and beams, meeting the structural stability requirements of large space factories.
Public venues
Special shaped concrete components such as the dome of the sports hall and the curved structure of the airport terminal require the use of climbing or sliding formwork systems to complete highly complex pouring.
4、 Comparison of typical application scenarios
