Fabric formwork method

Fabric formwork, also known as fabric-forming method or concrete mat method, uses high-strength synthetic fibers. It is a technique where concrete is injected and cured on-site into fabric-forming mats that are manufactured in a factory based on design drawings. Compared to traditional cast-in-place concrete or precast block installation, this method allows for construction by a smaller team in a shorter time frame. Since underwater construction is possible, it eliminates the need for switching work and water-stopping work, resulting in shortened construction periods and enhanced cost-effectiveness. It adapts well to complex slopes with varying gradients, achieving uniform thickness. Due to pressurized injection with a pump, it can cover a wide area at once, regardless of slope or flat areas. The fabric-forming mats are lightweight, allowing for safe construction and easy transportation and storage. The water-cement ratio significantly decreases, leading to particularly high initial strength and a reduced curing period. We offer a wide range of options tailored to usage conditions, including filter point type, no-filter type, and greening type.
