Formwork for Creating Penetrations or Openings in Concrete Floor Structures
- 12 Openings or penetrations in the cast concrete floors of multi-storey buildings are potential hazards in that workers can fall through such openings. The invention provides a robust 5 solution to this problem by providing formwork that can be used to create the openings or penetrations which themselves include a built-in safety barrier that prevents people falling through the openings. The safety barriers can be cast into the concrete floor along with the formwork, providing an effective safety barrier that is in place before the opening or penetration is even produced in the concrete floor. The nature of the safety barrier which 10 can be formed from reinforcing mesh or other metal bars can be easily cut or modified when required to allow pipework, ducting, or other services to pass through the openings. 208468AUProvSpecMar2018.docx/PA
