5 Places You Should Never Pour Concrete Without Formwork

Skipping formwork might seem like a shortcut, but it can turn into a structural disaster. Here are five spots where pouring without proper formwork is a big no-go:

1️⃣ Foundation Edges
Without formwork, edges will slump, making the foundation uneven and weak.

2️⃣ Columns and Pillars
They’ll lose shape, dimensions, and strength — and can collapse under load.

3️⃣ Retaining Walls
Concrete will spill and fail to hold the intended line, compromising stability.

4️⃣ Staircases
Without formwork, you’ll never get clean steps — only a messy, unsafe slope.

5️⃣ Sloped Surfaces
Gravity will pull the mix downhill, ruining both the shape and strength.

💡 Pro Tip: Formwork isn’t just about shape — it ensures proper curing, load distribution, and long-term durability.
