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. Where have you seen the worst no-formwork concrete work? Drop it in the comments 👇
