Interpret issued-for-construction (IFC) drawings, formwork shop drawings, and pour plans; develop method statements and work packs for each block/lift.
Prepare daily/weekly look-ahead plans (materials, workforce, equipment) synced to concrete pour schedules and rebar readiness.
Define formwork systems (traditional timber, modular steel/aluminum, climbing/slide forms, custom curved forms) based on structural geometry (spillway/chute, dam blocks, galleries, draft tubes, piers).
Coordinate interfaces with rebar, embeds/inserts, water-stops, construction joints, cooling pipes, instrumentation and embedded metals.
Plan lift heights, staging/scaffolding, access, and erection/dismantling sequences to optimize cycle time and safety.
2) Technical Execution
Lead erection, alignment, plumb, level, and curvature control per drawings; ensure camber/offsets where specified.
Calculate and verify formwork pressures (rate of pour, concrete temperature, slump) and select adequate ties, walers, studs, bracing.
Ensure form-release agents, surface preparation, joint sealing, and form tightness to prevent honeycombing and leakage.
Implement thermal control measures (cooling pipes coordination, insulation, pour temperature limits) to maintain joint integrity and reduce thermal cracking.
Oversee pre-pour inspections with QA/QC; close NCRs/snag lists; maintain as-built adjustments logs.
3) Safety, HSE & Compliance
Enforce HSE method statements, Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), and Permit-to-Work for all formwork activities—especially at height, near water, night pours, and heavy lifts.
Ensure scaffolding/working platforms are certified; maintain fall protection and restricted access during pour.
Conduct toolbox talks, PPE checks, and lifting plan briefings; coordinate with lifting supervisor for panel handling and crane operations.
4) Quality Assurance & Control
Ensure dimensional accuracy: line, level, plumb, elevation, curvature/geometry for spillway/chute profiles; form alignment tolerance per project specifications.
Verify construction joint preparation, keys, and waterstops placement; ensure embedment tolerances for anchors/inserts.
Document pre-pour / post-pour checklists, inspection requests (IRs), and maintain redline/as-built records.
