Accelerated curing is any method by which high early age strength is achieved in concrete.These techniques are especially useful in the prefabrication industry, wherein high early age strength enables the removal of the formwork within 24 hours, thereby reducing the cycle time, resulting in cost-saving benefits.

The formwork stays in place after the concrete has cured and acts as axial and shear reinforcement, as well as serving to confine the concrete and prevent against environmental effects, such as corrosion and freeze-thaw cycles. Flexible formwork. In contrast to the rigid moulds described above, flexible formwork is a system that uses ...
Hazard elimination is a hazard control strategy based on completely removing a material or process causing a hazard.Elimination is the most effective of the five members of the hierarchy of hazard controls in protecting workers, and where possible should be implemented before all other control methods.
In mid-February 2012, the northern structure has been poured and formwork was being removed. In early September 2012, the falsework had been removed, modified, and constructed at the eastbound location with formwork completion now allowing reinforcing and concrete placement.

Various workplace safety signs commonly used at construction sites and industrial work environments. The leading safety hazards on construction sites include falls, being caught between objects, electrocutions, and being struck by objects. [23] These hazards have caused injuries and deaths on construction sites throughout the world.

Traditional formwork is fabricated using wood, but it can employ steel, glass fibre, reinforced plastics and other materials. [3] Formwork for beams takes the form of a box that is supported and propped in the correct position and level. The removal time for the formwork will vary with air temperature, humidity and consequent curing rate.
