7. Formwork erection


Soon after completion of the formwork, the students then had to make Y bracing for the soffit of the beam. The bracing was made from once again recycled metal( used to be part of a lecture hall bench) and we did spot welding to crate the Y shape that was used in the support system.

After placing the formwork in its actual position the students then had to make adjustment so that the formwork was vertically straight and leveled on all sides. Water level (water in a translucent tube) and spirit level was used to achieve this goal.Once the level was obtained we wedged the Y bracing under it to make sure that it dosent move any more.
