Formwork System

Abstract

Various implementations described herein are directed to a formwork system. In one implementation, the formwork system includes a first formwork panel configured to be coupled to a first tie and a second tie and has a first side rail, a second side rail, and an inner rail which extends from the first side rail to the second side rail.

         2 . The formwork system of  claim 1 , wherein the inner rail, the first aluminum tie extrusion, the second aluminum tie extrusion, the first aluminum side rail, and the second aluminum side rail are made of structural grade aluminum. 
     
     
         3 . The formwork system of  claim 1 , wherein the first formwork panel includes a synthetic form face. 
     
     
         4 . The formwork system of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the first formwork panel is configured to be coupled to a corner extrusion of the formwork system via the clamp.   
     
     
         5 . The formwork system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the inner rail, the first aluminum side rail, and the second aluminum side rail includes a plurality of flanges. 
     
     
         6 . The formwork system of  claim 1 , wherein the first formwork panel further comprises a plurality of corner castings to couple a top portion and a bottom portion of the first formwork panel to the first aluminum side rail and the second aluminum side rail. 
     
     
         7 . A formwork system, comprising:
 a first formwork panel, comprising:
 an inner rail configured to be coupled to a first tie and a second tie; 
 a first side rail; and 
 a second side rail;
 wherein the first tie is coupled to the first side rail and the second tie is coupled to the second side rail; 
 wherein the first formwork panel is configured to be coupled to other formwork panels of the formwork system using a clamp. 
 
   
     
     
         8 . The formwork system of  claim 7 , wherein the first formwork panel includes a synthetic form face. 
     
     
         9 . The formwork system of  claim 7 ,
 wherein the first formwork panel is configured to be coupled to a corner extrusion of the formwork system via the clamp.   
     
     
         10 . The formwork system of  claim 7 , wherein at least one of the inner rail, the first side rail, and the second side rail includes a plurality of flanges. 
     
     
         11 . The formwork system of  claim 7 , wherein the first formwork panel further comprises a plurality of corner castings to couple a top portion and a bottom portion of the first formwork panel to the first side rail and the second side rail. 
     
     
         12 . A formwork system, comprising:
 a first formwork panel configured to be coupled to a first tie and a second tie, comprising:
 an inner rail; 
 a first side rail; and 
 a second side rail;
 wherein the first tie is coupled to the first side rail and the second tie is coupled to the second side rail, 
 wherein the inner rail extends from the first side rail to the second side rail; 
 wherein the first formwork panel is configured to be coupled to other formwork panels of the formwork system using a clamp. 
 
   
     
     
         13 . The formwork system of  claim 12 , the first tie being a first tie extrusion and the second tie being a second tie extrusion. 
     
     
         14 . The formwork system of  claim 12 , wherein the first formwork panel includes a synthetic form face. 
     
     
         15 . The formwork system of  claim 9 ,
 wherein the first formwork panel is configured to be coupled to a corner extrusion of the formwork system via the clamp.   
     
     
         16 . The formwork system of  claim 9 , wherein at least one of the inner rail, the first side rail, and the second side rail includes a plurality of flanges. 
     
     
         17 . The formwork system of  claim 7 , wherein the first formwork panel further comprises a plurality of corner castings to couple a top portion and a bottom portion of the first formwork panel to the first side rail and the second side rail.
