FORMWORK MELBOURNE
Formwork is the use of moulds to create concrete structures of various shapes and sizes. It is a vital part of the construction process, as it allows for the creation of customised concrete structures that would otherwise be impossible to achieve.
There are many different types of formwork available on the market, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The type of formwork you use will depend on the project you are undertaking and the specific requirements of the job.
Concrete formwork is another popular type of formwork. It is more expensive than wooden formwork but is much more durable and can be used for a variety of different projects. Concrete formwork comes in two main types: precast and poured. Precast concrete formwork is made from moulds that are cast in advance, while poured concrete formwork is made from moulds that are filled with concrete on site.

CONCRETE SLABS
Concrete slabs are flat, horizontal, structural elements that are commonly used in the construction of buildings, pavements, and other structures. They provide a solid foundation for various applications, including flooring, ceilings, and driveways.
Typically made from a mixture of cement, sand, aggregate, and water, concrete slabs are reinforced with steel bars or mesh to enhance their strength and resistance to cracking. The mixture is poured into a formwork and leveled, then allowed to cure and harden over time.
In addition to their durability and strength, concrete slabs offer numerous benefits such as energy efficiency, fire resistance, and low maintenance requirements. Their thermal mass properties allow them to store and release heat gradually, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption.
Concrete slabs are resistant to fire, termites, and mold, making them a safe and reliable option for construction. With proper care, concrete slabs can provide a long-lasting and stable foundation for various types of structures, ensuring a sound and efficient building solution.

CONCRETE FOOTINGS
Concrete footings are fundamental components in the construction process, acting as the base support for building foundations, walls, and columns. They serve to distribute the weight and load of a structure evenly across the ground, preventing any potential settlement or movement.
Footings are crucial for maintaining the stability and integrity of a building, ensuring that it remains safe and secure in various soil conditions and environmental factors.
The design and size of concrete footings depend on several factors, including the type of structure being built, the soil’s bearing capacity, and the load-bearing requirements. A well-designed and constructed concrete footing contributes significantly to the overall durability and lifespan of a building, making it an essential element in modern construction.
COMMERCIAL FORMWORK
High-quality formwork underpins the entirety of your commercial project. Whether yours is a multi-storey development, school, shop, or a large-scale government project, it deserves the best framework possible. This will allow you to have peace of mind knowing that your project is in the best hands during construction and will remain structurally sound after the project is completed.
Concrete formwork is the most popular type of formwork within the construction industry. It is more expensive than wooden formwork, but is much more durable and can be used for a variety of different projects. It can also be used time and time again, making it an excellent investment for those planning multiple projects.
Concrete formwork comes in two main types: precast and poured. Precast concrete formwork is made from moulds that are cast in advance, while poured concrete formwork is made from moulds that are filled with concrete on site.
At Italcon, we understand how high-quality formwork can make a significant difference to the end result of your commercial project. As such, we are dedicated to utilising our many years of combined experience to provide formwork services for commercial projects throughout Melbourne.
RESIDENTIAL FORMWORK
Formwork is the use of moulds to create concrete structures of various shapes and sizes. It is a vital part of the construction process, as it allows for the creation of customised concrete structures that would otherwise be impossible to achieve. Formwork is used in residential projects as well as commercial.
Residential formwork operates in the same way as commercial formwork, albeit typically on a smaller scale. As with commercial formwork, residential formwork should be strong enough to withstand all types of loads, rigidly constructed, and efficiently propped horizontally and vertically to ensure it retains its shape. The process involves propping and centring, shuttering, provision of camber, and cleaning and surface treatment.
At Italcon we aim to make our name synonymous with high-quality workmanship. We do so through the passionate and thorough approach we adopt towards every project, where we envision helping you to achieve your goals.
