Ribbed Slab Formwork

Cast in-situ, ribbed concrete floors are an efficient design solution for concrete frame construction. Benefits of using this technique when compared to traditional, flat alternatives include: Longer floor spans, reduced weight and improved efficiency of materials, improved thermal mass, vibration control, improved visual appearance.

Cordek's trough and waffle formers can be used for the construction of both one-way and two-way spanning ribbed floors. They are designed to meet specific project requirements in terms of shape, size and profile, providing a cost-effective formwork system designed for both single and multiple uses.

Depending on the choice of material used to manufacture the formwork, they can also provide a consistent and high-quality finish for exposed soffits.

Trough Formers

  • Manufactured for project specific requirements
  • Available in a wide range of materials
  • CNC machined for consistent, tolerance-controlled surfaces

Waffle Formers

  • Re-usable where formers of the same size, shape and profile are required
  • Basic, Ordinary, Plain & Special Finishes achievable

Feature Formers

  • Manufactured for project specific requirements
  • Available in a wide range of materials
  • CNC machined for consistent, tolerance-controlled surface
