FAQ

What are waler brackets used with?

Waler brackets are essential in concrete formwork construction, allowing for secure attachment of horizontal supports (walers) to vertical formwork panels. Their primary function is to keep the forms straight, plumb, and stable, preventing any bulging or collapsing from the weight of the wet concrete. While there are various types of waler brackets available, they all serve the common goal of ensuring proper formwork support. Certain brackets are tailored for specific formwork systems, while others offer versatility in their usage.

What is a waler in concrete formwork?

In concrete formwork, a waler is a horizontal beam used to provide support and stability to the form panels. It helps distribute the pressure from the concrete to ensure that the forms maintain their shape during pouring and curing.

What is the function of a waler?

The primary function of a waler is to reinforce concrete forms against the lateral pressure of unhardened concrete. This reinforcement prevents the forms from bowing or breaking under pressure, ensuring the concrete structure forms correctly and uniformly.
