Location: Tugun Bypass Project Queensland Australia

This little formwork job was made quick and easy because there was plenty of Blinding to place the concrete forms and to brace off. The supervisor on this job asked how much Blinding we wanted, and to our amazement, enough was supplied.

Crash Barrier Foundation Formwork

Too often, formwork foundation jobs are made difficult and time-consuming when there is not enough concrete Blinding to secure the formwork. This usually happens when earth movers or supervisors do not consult with the formworkers and go on to blind to the exact size of the job according to the drawings.

I have had supervisors get the plan out and argue that the blinding is the right size because that is the size of the job on the drawing. On the other hand, experienced civil supervisors know to allow extra blinding not only for the concrete forms, but for bracing and holding-down as well.
