Formwork & Shoring
Field drawings, structural analysis and 3D modeling
Formwork and shoring plans require careful design to account for structural capacity, safety, budget, as well as on-site functionality.
For safety and complience, site engineering offices often demand for detailed formwork and shoring drawings, structural analysis, assembly check lists, and other documents.
A good set of field drawings greatly helps unskilled workers to build faster, and safer, reducing the possibility of errors due to improvisation.
Field and Assembly Drawings
Without drawings or assembly instructions it is impossible to garantee the stability and safety of a formwork or shoring structures.
Drawings provide, not only the necessary information to those assembling, but also the necessary assurance to those responsable.
As concrete structures are bigger, higher, heavier or geometrically more complex, it becomes more important the presence of drawings capable of explaining each assembly.
Structural analysis & Documentation
To approve a formwork or shoring solution one needs to check its structural capacity and stability, as well as complience with the local regulations.
Besides Drawings, a Structural and Stability analysis, an assembly Check list, and the responsible Engineer's signature are essential for a complete approval of a formwork and shoring structure.
3D modeling of solutions
The use of 3D models allows for an easier analysis of possible body interferences, study of assembly procedures, and a much easier understanding of complex geometries and details.
As the labour force becomes less qualified, the use of 3d models gains importance, and in some cases, becomes vital for a safe and correct assembly of formwork and shoring structures.
N4d offers the modeling of technical formwork and shoring solutions.
