AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing methods for assembling concrete formwork on construction sites are hindered by the need for extensive on-site work under varying conditions, safety risks, noise, and inefficiencies in transporting precast concrete parts, which are heavy and prone to damage.
Method used
A method involving the prefabrication of formwork units in a controlled environment, where formwork elements and reinforcement are assembled and connected, then transported to the construction site with a hoist, allowing for precise and safe assembly.
Benefits of technology
This approach simplifies and standardizes the formwork assembly process, reducing on-site work, enhancing safety, and minimizing noise, while enabling flexible responses to construction changes.

Abstract
Method for assembling a formwork unit, in particular a wall formwork unit, comprising the steps: a. prefabricating the formwork unit in a prefabrication area by—providing a first formwork element, —providing a second formwork element,—attaching a reinforcement between the first and the second formwork element,—connecting the first to the second formwork element in order to obtain the formwork unit, b. Transporting, in particular lifting, the formwork unit together with the reinforcement from the prefabrication area to a site of operation.
