• Bridge pylons
• Towers
• Tall retaining structures
• Vertical infrastructure elements

Ideal for: projects requiring safe, repeatable and efficient vertical construction.

Robust Formwork Systems for Large Concrete Structures

WAKE provides cantilever formwork systems for demanding structures where strength, support and repeatable construction are required.

These systems can be applied to dams, retaining walls, abutments, piers, bridge structures and other large concrete works.

Suitable applications include:

• Bridge piers and abutments
• Retaining structures
• Dam and water infrastructure works
• Heavy civil concrete structures
• Complex staged construction

Ideal for: projects requiring strong formwork support for large vertical or inclined concrete structures.

Practical Formwork Support Where Two-Sided Formwork Is Not Possible

Single-side support systems are used where conventional two-sided formwork cannot be applied because of site constraints, existing structures, excavation faces or restricted access.

WAKE supports contractors with systems designed to assist with safe, practical and efficient wall construction in constrained environments.

Suitable applications include:

• Basement walls
• Retaining walls
• Water-retaining structures
• Structures against excavations
• Civil and infrastructure walls
• Constrained construction zones

Ideal for: projects where access, geometry or site conditions limit conventional formwork methods.

Safe Temporary Works Support for Heavy Loads and Complex Structures

Our shoring and falsework systems are designed to provide temporary support during construction, helping contractors manage load transfer, structural stability and safe working conditions.

These systems are used where strong, reliable temporary support is required for beams, slabs, bridge structures, heavy civil works and complex concrete pours.

Suitable applications include:

• Heavy slab support
• Beam support
• Bridge construction support
• Civil structures
• Temporary works
• Complex concrete pours

Ideal for: projects requiring strength, stability and temporary structural support.

Adaptable Formwork Systems for Vertical and Structural Concrete

WAKE supplies wall, column and wood beam formwork systems for a wide range of vertical and structural concrete applications.

These systems are designed to support accuracy, repeatability and efficient site installation, making them suitable for both standard and complex structures.

Suitable applications include:

• Retaining walls
• Shear walls
• Core walls
• Reservoirs and tanks
• Basement walls
• Building columns
• Bridge piers
• Infrastructure columns
• Industrial structures
• Beams and structural concrete elements

Ideal for: concrete structures requiring accuracy, consistency and efficient construction cycles.

Specialist Systems for Complex Access and Construction Conditions

WAKE supports contractors with systems for tunnels, pipe galleries, shafts, pier platforms and related infrastructure applications.

These systems are designed for projects where access, alignment, safety and construction sequencing are critical.

Suitable applications include:

• Tunnels
• Pipe galleries
• Shafts
• Pier construction platforms
• Infrastructure access structures
• Complex civil works

Ideal for: infrastructure projects requiring specialist formwork, access or platform systems.

Systems for T-Beams, Small Box Girders and Segmental Elements

HW Formworks supports precast beam and girder applications with formwork systems designed for repeatable production and efficient construction workflows.

Suitable applications include:

• T-beam precast formwork
• Small box-girder precast formwork
• Segmental box-girder precast systems
• Bridge beam production
• Repetitive precast concrete elements

Ideal for: bridge and infrastructure projects requiring repeatable precast beam or girder production.

Specialist Formwork for Curved and Custom Structures

Not every structure is straight or standard. WAKE supports contractors with circular, arc and shaped formwork systems for curved geometry and custom concrete requirements.

These systems are developed to respond to the technical requirements of each project, supported by design input, manufacturing capability and practical site guidance.

Suitable applications include:

• Curved and circular structures
• Arc formwork
• Reservoirs and tanks
• Architectural concrete
• Custom concrete shapes
• Project-specific temporary works

Ideal for: projects requiring bespoke formwork design and specialist technical support.

Supporting Components for Project-Specific Formwork Requirements

WAKE also supports contractors with formwork accessories and custom-engineered systems developed around the requirements of each project.

These solutions may support system assembly, adaptation, safe operation, repeat use and project-specific installation requirements.

Suitable applications include:

• Formwork accessories
• System adaptation
• Project-specific components
• Special temporary works
• Custom engineering requirements

Ideal for: projects requiring specialised support, adaptation or custom-engineered components.
