Understanding Slab Formwork Systems
Slab formwork comes in two major types: conventional and modular. Conventional formwork for slab developments is made of wooden beams which are combined with loose facing and props. Modular formwork, on the other hand, comprises panels or frames with an integrated facing.
Shoring systems and/or props support the formwork, and they can be lowered during the removal or stripping process. Beams are removed along with the formwork’s components to be used in the next pouring cycle.
As with any formwork, choosing the right slab formwork system can significantly impact the execution and progress of your construction project. For this reason, it is always best to do some research, and it is particularly important to consult our formwork experts here at MEVA to ensure you obtain the most reliable and cost-efficient formwork system for your project.

MevaFlex
Despite only having three components, MevaFlex offers an excellent level of efficiency and reliability. This conventional slab formwork system features girder stringers and cross beams independent of the grid pattern. MevaFlex can be quite flexible as the positioning of its beams and props are not predetermined. Therefore, during the planning stage, they can be easily adjusted and optimised according to the required slab thickness. With MevaFlex, you are also free to choose the facing that will best suit your needs, including shuttering panel 3S, alkus® all-plastic facing and other alternatives.
