GENERAL
821.01 SCOPE
1. The work under this specification consists of the design and
construction of formwork required for the proper construction of
concrete for structures in the permanent Works to the tolerances
specified herein.
821.02 REFERENCES
1. Australian Standards, MAIN ROADS Western Australia
Standards and MAIN ROADS Western Australia Test Methods are
referred to in abbreviated form (e.g. AS 1234, MRS 67-08-43 or WA
123). For convenience, the full titles are given below:

821.26 FORMWORK DESIGN
1. The design of all formwork shall be in accordance with
AS 3610.
2. Formwork shall be so designed and constructed that it can
be removed without damage to the concrete. In the case of
prestressed concrete the design of the formwork shall permit movement
of the members to occur during prestressing without damage to the
permanent Works. Formwork shall be set to the profiles and pre-
cambers shown on the Drawings and due allowance shall be made in
setting the levels of the formwork to compensate for any deflection or
deformation due to the weight of the concrete. Formwork shall be
designed and constructed to withstand the vibration required during
placing of the concrete as specified in Specification 820 CONCRETE
FOR STRUCTURES.
3. Where concrete is poured in more than one operation the Construction
Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to hold the formwork Joints
tight against the previous pour to avoid any discontinuities in the
finished off-form surface.
4. At least two weeks prior to commencing formwork HOLD
construction the Contractor shall supply to the Superintendent POINT
design details and Drawings checked and certified by a qualified
structural engineer that the formwork complies with the
Specification.
(Insert as required. Include tables, diagrams, etc as necessary. Delete Annexure page
if not required.)
All edits to downloaded TDP documents shall be tracked (most word processing
software allows this to be done automatically). Deletions shall be struck through e.g.
example. Insertions shall be in italics e.g. example. If all information relating to a clause
is deleted then the clause number should be retained and the words "NOT USED"
should be inserted.
The proposed documents with tracked changes shall be submitted to the Project
Manager for review, prior to printing the final batch of documents. When this final
printing is carried out, the tracked changes option is to be turned off.
The Custodian of this specification is the Structures Design and Standards Engineer.
If the design and Drawings nominate the use of “TRANSFLOOR” permanent concrete
deck soffit formwork then CONTRACT SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT clause 821.91
should be included and clause 821.10 deleted and replaced with “Not Used”.
