Performance Testing Results for Tension Plate Formwork Systems

Performance Testing Results for Tension Plate Formwork Systems

For engineers and project managers, data-driven confidence is paramount. When selecting a formwork system, promises are not enough; verified performance testing results for tension plate formwork are essential. At Shoulv Formwork, we subject our systems to rigorous, standardized testing to provide you with the certainty needed for your most demanding projects.

Validating Structural Integrity Under Load
Our integrated formwork with tension plates undergoes exhaustive load testing in controlled conditions. Panels are assembled into standard wall forms and subjected to hydraulic pressures that simulate and exceed the maximum expected concrete pour pressures. These tests consistently demonstrate minimal, predictable deflection—well within engineering tolerances—and confirm the system's ability to maintain structural integrity without failure.

Cycle Testing for Long-Term Durability
A formwork system is a long-term investment. Our performance testing includes accelerated cycle testing, where panels are assembled, struck, and reassembled hundreds of times. This process validates the durability of the tension plates, locking mechanisms, and the panels themselves, ensuring they will perform reliably throughout their long service life without degradation in quality or strength.

Connection Strength and Reliability
The heart of the system—the tension plate connection—is tested for shear strength and fatigue. We measure the force required to cause connection failure, consistently achieving safety factors that far exceed industry standards. This confirms that the pin-and-wedge mechanism creates a connection as strong as the panels themselves.

Transparency You Can Build On
At Shoulv Formwork, we believe in transparency. Our performance testing results are not just for our internal validation; they are available to our clients. We provide certified test reports and engineering data that give you the confidence to specify and use our systems, knowing they are backed by science and proven performance.
