Pier Formwork is a high-strength, modular system designed specifically for the efficient and precise construction of bridge piers, columns, and other vertical concrete structures. Engineered with robust steel panels and customizable configurations, it ensures excellent concrete surface finishes, dimensional accuracy, and construction safety.
The system supports a wide range of pier shapes—round, square, or irregular—and is adaptable to varying heights and site conditions. With its quick assembly, easy adjustment, and high reuse rate, the GOWE Pier Formwork significantly boosts productivity while reducing labor and material costs.
A pier serves as a critical structural support for bridges, typically positioned on a platform or foundation to bear the load of the main beam. Pier formwork is one of the most commonly used types of bridge formwork, generally consisting of the pier shaft formwork and the pier cap formwork.
The cross-sectional shape and appearance of the pier are influenced by the type of girder used, environmental conditions, and architectural design requirements. Common pier shapes include cylindrical, round-end, conical, Y-shaped, double-curved, vase-shaped, straight, V-shaped, and rectangular forms. Some configurations—such as twin piers and Y-shaped piers—may include connecting beams for enhanced stability.
Pier formwork is typically categorized into two systems: tie-rod formwork and non-stick formwork, the latter of which includes truss-supported systems. Pier caps are available in various combinations, including round-to-round, square-to-round, round-to-square, and square-to-square configurations, depending on structural and aesthetic requirements.
Design Features:
The pier formwork features an advanced and refined structural design, offering excellent overall rigidity and high adaptability for on-site construction. Developed based on the structural characteristics of bridge piers, the system fully considers construction requirements, ensuring both concrete quality and operational safety.
To enhance efficiency, the design aims to standardize components as much as possible, reducing the variety and quantity of formwork panels required. This not only simplifies assembly but also minimizes cost. Additionally, the design process involves close collaboration with end-users to tailor the formwork for real-world construction needs, ensuring the system is economical, practical, and safe.
