Plastic Column Formwork for Circular, Rectangular, Square & Adjustable Columns

NexGen manufactures circular, rectangular, and square column formwork systems. The systems are designed for different column geometries and can be selected according to the required column dimensions and project requirements.

Circular and round column formwork generally refer to the same type of formwork used to construct round concrete columns. NexGen's circular column formwork is designed to maintain consistent circular geometry, alignment, and concrete dimensions during casting.

Yes. "Round column shuttering" and "circular column formwork" describe the same reusable PP system used to cast round RCC columns. NexGen's round column shuttering panels are engineered for consistent circular geometry, accurate dimensions, and a smooth concrete finish across repeated use.

NexGen column formwork uses polypropylene (PP) panels with an MS steel frame, according to the product specifications. The system is designed to provide a lightweight, durable and reusable alternative for concrete column construction.

NexGen column formwork is designed for 100+ reuse cycles with proper handling, cleaning, storage, and maintenance. Actual service life can vary depending on site conditions, usage practices, handling, and maintenance.

Yes. Polypropylene is resistant to water and does not absorb moisture like plywood. This makes PP formwork suitable for construction environments where exposure to water or wet conditions is expected.

Key advantages include:

• Reusable construction system
• Lightweight PP panels
• Water-resistant material
• Accurate dimensions
• Fast assembly and de-shuttering
• Consistent concrete finish
• Reduced material waste
• 100% recyclable PP material at end of life

NexGen's current technical specification indicates column widths from 230 mm to 600 mm, with customization available in 25 mm increments. Custom requirements should be confirmed with the NexGen engineering team before ordering.

Pricing for NexGen column formwork depends on column size and shape, order quantity, customization requirements, and project location. Because polypropylene column formwork is reusable across 100+ cycles, cost per pour is typically lower than single-use or conventional systems over the project lifecycle.

Column formwork installation generally involves preparing the reinforcement, positioning the formwork panels, securing and aligning the system, checking dimensions and verticality, carrying out the concrete pour, and subsequently de-shuttering after the required concrete strength is achieved.

For project-specific installation requirements, the formwork should be installed according to the approved construction method and engineering requirements.

The current NexGen specification indicates a typical 15–20 minute assembly time per standard column with two workers, subject to column configuration, site conditions, panel arrangement, and worker experience.

Yes. NexGen column formwork is suitable for a range of construction applications, including residential buildings, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, institutional projects, and infrastructure construction, subject to project-specific requirements.

Yes. NexGen Formworks supplies column formwork across India from its manufacturing facility in Hyderabad, Telangana, with technical support for project requirements.
