Before a concrete pour
The lorry is on its way. These are the questions that should already have answers.
- Is the formwork or falsework design done and checked?
- Is it built as designed, and has it been inspected?
- Have any defects been put right?
- Has the permit to load been issued by the coordinator?
- Does everyone know the pour sequence and who stops it if something moves?
- Is someone watching the formwork during the pour?
If any answer is no, the pour waits.
The formwork and falsework inspection checklists and the permit to load are in the shop, and the Formwork and Falsework Pack has them together.
This is a general guide. What your job needs is for your coordinator and designer to decide.
General guidance to support a temporary works procedure. Not legal, engineering or compliance advice.
