Prefabricated Formwork for House Foundation Engineering

Admin September 18, 2026

The prefabricated formwork used in house foundation engineering mainly includes types such as mould formwork and rural self-built house foundation formwork.

Mould formwork is a formwork system used in foundation construction in construction engineering, primarily constructed using brick or concrete materials. Its typical application scenarios include the construction of concealed components such as foundation beams, pile caps, and raft foundations, as well as operational links such as basement foundation caps, tower crane foundations, and steel structure engineering. Brick mould formwork comes in two thickness specifications: 240mm and 120mm, and requires internal wall plastering to prevent slurry leakage and provide a base layer for waterproofing construction; concrete mould formwork, on the other hand, comes in forms such as prefabricated frame structures, and is assembled by filling gaps with special adhesives and mesh cloth, enhancing its bending and deformation resistance. Additionally, as a new process, prefabricated panel mould formwork is assembled using prefabricated concrete panels or lightweight partition panels, offering advantages such as fast assembly speed, high strength, and environmental friendliness. It is suitable for parts where side formwork for basement foundations and caps is difficult to remove, especially in deep excavations, high water levels, or complex geological environments.

Rural self-built house foundation formwork is a mold customized according to the dimensions of the house foundation, with commonly used heights of 80 cm, 1 m, and 1.2 m, an upper width of 30 cm, and a lower width of 80 cm. The main panel is made of a 2mm main panel or a 150*4 gold panel, with adjustable dimensions, and adjustable sections can be added in the middle to fit different foundation bases. This formwork is designed flexibly to meet different terrain and construction needs. Additionally, there are also prefabricated cement concrete formwork for rural self-built house foundations and steel formwork for house foundation beam bases on the market. Some of these products support custom sizing and fast delivery, providing more options for rural self-built houses.

These prefabricated formworks play an important role in house foundation engineering, not only improving construction efficiency but also ensuring project quality. Different types of prefabricated formwork are suitable for different construction scenarios and needs, and selecting the appropriate formwork type is crucial for the smooth progress of the project.
