Column Shuttering – Steel Column Formwork Specifications
Column shuttering is a formwork system used to cast concrete columns in buildings, bridges and industrial structures. Suncorp steel column shuttering panels are assembled around column reinforcement to create the desired shape. After concrete gains strength (24 to 48 hours), shuttering is stripped and reused up to 200 times.
Column Shuttering Specifications
| Parameter | Standard Panel | Heavy Duty Panel |
|---|---|---|
| Panel Size | 500 x 1250mm | 1000 x 1250mm |
| Thickness | 6mm | 8mm to 10mm |
| Material | IS 2062 Mild Steel | IS 2062 Grade B |
| Reuses | 50 to 100 cycles | 100 to 200 cycles |
| Finish | Smooth rolled face | Smooth rolled face |
Column Sizes Achievable
Using 500mm wide panels: 500x500mm, 750x750mm, 1000x1000mm square columns. For circular columns we supply circular column moulds from 200mm to 1200mm diameter.
What is the best shuttering material for column casting?
Steel shuttering is best for column casting due to strength, reusability (50 to 200 cycles), smooth concrete finish and dimensional accuracy. Cheaper per pour over its life than timber or plywood shuttering.
Column Shuttering - Complete Guide to Steel Column Formwork
Column shuttering is a formwork system used to cast concrete columns in buildings, bridges and industrial structures. Steel column shuttering from Suncorp consists of flat steel panels assembled around column reinforcement to create the desired column shape. After the concrete gains sufficient strength (typically 24 to 48 hours), the shuttering is stripped, cleaned and reused for the next column.
