Concrete Construction Formwork & Scaffolding
B.F.S Concrete Construction - Transforming liquid material into structured architectural forms
In concrete construction, formworks play a crucial role in shaping and supporting structures until the concrete gains sufficient strength. Various types of formworks, including modular formwork, tunnel form, climbing form, and slip form, are used depending on the project’s requirements. Modular formworks offer flexibility and ease of assembly, making them ideal for walls, columns, and slabs, while tunnel forms allow simultaneous casting of walls and slabs, enhancing efficiency in mass housing projects. Slip and climbing formworks are essential for high-rise structures, ensuring continuous casting with minimal joints. To reinforce and stabilize formworks, cuplock scaffolding, PAL scaffolding, adjustable props, soldiers, connectors, waler beams, corner angles, and locking clamps are utilized. These systems not only improve construction speed and accuracy but also ensure safety and cost-effectiveness in modern concrete projects.

Wall Formwork
Our range of wall formwork products at B.F.S has been designed to support a variety of applications—from lightweight systems that can be lifted into position by hand for small basement projects to heavy-duty systems required for large infrastructure projects.
Development of Employees and Turnover
Our success factors are tremendous innovative strength and internationalization at an early stage. Behind this are around 70 employees who are committed in providing the best individual solution for the benefit of our customers.
Complex Concrete Structures
When it comes to modern construction, choosing the right system formwork is essential for maintaining project timelines and ensuring structural safety. At BFS Industries, we provide a comprehensive range of engineered solutions, from high-pressure column formwork to versatile wall and retaining wall shuttering systems. Our modular designs are specifically engineered to handle the immense lateral pressure of wet concrete, offering superior durability compared to traditional timber methods. Whether you are working on circular pillars using our circular column formwork or massive infrastructure projects requiring tunnel formwork, our systems prioritize ease of assembly and a high-quality concrete finish. By integrating advanced components like heavy-duty tie rods and adjustable yokes, we ensure that every pour is precise, reducing the need for costly on-site rectifications.
Shoring and Scaffolding Systems
The stability of any concrete slab or beam depends heavily on the reliability of the shoring and propping equipment used during the construction phase. Our product lineup includes industry-standard Cuplock and Ringlock scaffolding systems, which are renowned for their exceptional load-bearing capacity and versatility in complex building shoring. To complement these systems, we offer a variety of shoring props and support equipment designed to provide rigid vertical support for floor slabs and heavy-duty beams. Understanding the technical requirements of propping in construction is vital; therefore, our equipment is manufactured to withstand extreme weights while offering easy height adjustability. From simple residential slab supports to engineered shoring for heavy civil projects, BFS Industries provides the rugged hardware necessary to maintain safety and stability on every job site.

Frequently Asked Questions on Concrete Construction
1. What are the components of a column formwork system?
A professional column formwork system consists of several integrated parts designed to withstand high concrete pressure. The primary components include:
Formwork Panels: The facing material (usually steel or plywood) that creates the concrete surface.
Column Yokes/Clamps: Adjustable steel frames that surround the formwork to prevent bursting.
Tie Rods & Wing Nuts: High-tensile rods that hold opposite panels together under pressure.
Bracing & Props: Inclined supports used for leveling and ensuring the verticality of the column.
Chamfer Strips: Used to create beveled edges on the concrete corners for a professional finish.
2. How to calculate the shoring prop spacing for slab supports?
Calculating the optimal spacing for shoring props is a critical engineering process that ensures the structural integrity and safety of the concrete slab during the curing phase. To determine the correct distance between props, you must first calculate the total design load, which includes the combined weight of the wet concrete slab (dead load), the formwork system itself, and any live loads such as workers and equipment. Once the total pressure per square meter is established, you must refer to the certified safe load capacity of the specific prop being used, keeping in mind that a prop’s load-bearing capacity significantly decreases as its extension height increases. The final spacing is calculated by dividing the prop’s allowable load by the design load per unit area. At BFS Industries, we strongly recommend utilizing our detailed load-bearing charts or consulting with our technical engineering team to ensure that your propping and shoring configuration adheres to international safety standards and project-specific requirements.
