EFCO offers formwork and shoring solutions for all types of concrete construction projects. [1] EFCO, formerly known as Economy Forms Corporation, is headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, and currently has operations in 12 countries and manufacturing facilities in both Des Moines, Iowa, and Georgetown, Ontario, Canada.

This formwork is built out of prefabricated modules with a metal frame (usually steel or aluminium) and covered on the application side with material having the wanted surface structure (steel, aluminum, timber, etc.). The two major advantages of formwork systems, compared to traditional timber formwork, are speed of construction (modular ...

Animation depicting construction of multi-story building using aluminum handset formwork. Steel and plywood formwork for poured in place concrete foundation. Cast-in-place concrete or Cast-in-situ concrete is a technology of construction of buildings where walls and slabs of the buildings are cast at the site in formwork. [1]
In 1935 W.A. de Vigier designed an adjustable steel prop which revolutionized many aspects of the construction industry including to support slab formwork, wall formwork, trench sheeting and falsework. [3] Materials from which falsework systems are manufactured have also diversified from traditional steel and timber to aluminium components.
The engineering study of every reinforced concrete construction, whether it is a building, a bridge, a bearing wall, or another structure, dictates the positioning of steel rebars at specific positions in the volume of concrete (predicted concrete cover of steel reinforcement bars). This cover varies between 10 mm and 100 mm.
