Concrete formwork and shoring is to be designed and constructed in a manner that safely supports all loads imposed during concrete placement. All formwork and shoring is to be designed strictly in accordance with published practices of the formwork manufacturer, and performed by qualified personnel. All formwork and shoring components are to be inspected by qualified personnel prior to, during, and after erection. Drawings or plans of jack layout, formwork, shoring, working decks and scaffolding systems are to be available at the jobsite at all times.
Formwork and shoring are not to be removed until it has been determined through proper testing that the concrete has gained sufficient strength to support its weight and any superimposed loads, and meets all requirements of the project contract documents.
