Shuttered and Poured Repairs

Shuttered and poured concrete repairs are essential techniques used to restore the integrity of concrete structures. Shuttering, also known as formwork, involves creating a mold to hold the concrete in place until it hardens. This method ensures that the concrete takes the desired shape and dimensions, providing a strong and durable repair.

The process begins with the preparation of the damaged area, which includes cleaning and removing any loose or deteriorated material. Next, the shuttering is set up around the area to be repaired. This can be done using materials like plywood, timber, or metal, depending on the project’s requirements. The shuttering must be sturdy enough to withstand the pressure of the wet concrete and any vibration equipment used during the process.

Once the shuttering is in place, the concrete is poured into the mold. The concrete mix is carefully prepared to ensure it has the right consistency and strength for the repair. After pouring, the concrete is compacted and levelled to match the surrounding surface. The shuttering is then left in place until the concrete has sufficiently cured and can hold its shape independently.

Shuttered and poured concrete repairs are highly effective for both horizontal and vertical structures, providing a reliable and long-lasting solution for restoring damaged concrete.
