With the construction of the foundation, as a rule, we can not do it without the formwork device. Formwork – is the forming base to retain the desired shape after the concrete grout and to its complete solidification. How to make the formwork for the foundation, which will save materials and build a foundation at the same time  is the greatest question people need to know.

The formwork is divided into 2 types: fixed and removable; Fixed timbering typically is used in the construction of the columnar or bored pile foundations. In this case, the shaping element may be asbestos cement pipes or other building materials, which cavity is filled with a solution, then they all become part of the foundation. Recently, however, in the construction of monolithic foundations is increased the use of permanent, fixed formwork of polystyrene foam. Such formwork allows not only to shape the concrete solution, but will continue to play the role of foundation insulation too.
