Formstrong understands formwork. We understand a contractor’s need toerect quality formwork on time safely and with high standards of qualityerect quality formwork on time, safely and with high standards of quality.Formstrong aims to deliver high quality formwork fast and safe, using the innovativeKwik StrongDeck system and StrongBrace systems.
Our management team has extensive experience across not only formwork,but also other aspects of the construction industry and corporate and developmentbut also other aspects of the construction industry and corporate and developmentsectors. Because we understand the construction and development industries, weunderstand the imperatives that drive our clients businesses. This helps us deliverbetter service to you.

We combine this with the StrongBrace system to provide the bracing andstability for the Kwik StrongDeck systemstability for the Kwik StrongDeck system.
Formstrong’s use of the Kwik StrongDeck system and StrongBrace systemsgives a contractor the edge in formwork delivery. In turn, that gives you the edge inoverall project delivery.

Kwik StrongDeck system
Kwik StrongDeck system gives you the edge. In a nutshell, the KwikStrongDeck system is:StrongDeck system is:•safer,•faster•more efficient,
l f l•less wasteful,when compared to traditional timber and plywood systems.The system has been extensively tested for strength and serviceability toconfirm that it is structurally capable of withstanding any conditionsy p g yfound on construction sites.
SaferWorkers erect the Kwik StrongDeck system from the ground. The risk of falling from ah i ht i i i i d P l t ti ll lift d d d f b l Thheight is minimized. Panels are systematically lifted and propped from below. TheFormwork Code of Practice in Australia requires workers not to work at more than 1.8mabove ‘ground’. Working from a previously poured deck ensures adherence to the code andsafer conditions for workers.FasterFasterKwik StrongDeck system is quick. 47% quicker on average based on our research. Look atthe comparison:
More efficient3 trained workers from formstrong can erect 10 m2 of formwork very quickly. The modularsystem reduces labour requirements, a major advantage where skilled labour is scarce.And because it is a modular system, the skilled trade component required to erect theKwik StrongDeck system is 30% of the labour component, compared to 70% for traditionaltimber systems who rely heavily on a large proportion of skilled carpenters.

StrongBrace systemStrongBrace system
StrongBrace works hand in hand with Kwik StrongDeck system.It b d t bili th K ik St D k t l ll i 10It braces and stabilizes the Kwik StrongDeck system panels, allowing 10mhigh decks to be erected without difficulty. And because it is used with itsown formwork hoists, there is no need to use site cranes. Formstrong is self-sufficient in this regard. The erection of our formwork is not dependent oncrane availability e.g. due to wind condition.
