Falsework

Our specialism

Carrying the load until the structure can

Falsework is the temporary structure that supports formwork, decks and loads until the permanent works can stand on their own — most often under concrete slabs, beams and bridge decks while they’re poured and cured.

It has to be engineered to the load and built exactly right, because everything sits on it until the concrete’s there. We’ve put up falsework for big concrete pours for years, designed to the scheme and installed by experienced carded teams.

From a slab to a bridge deck
