Permanent Formwork System - About Weldgrip

Weldgrip


Permanent Formwork has been sold under the banner of BRC Special Products for twenty years. In June 2008 it was decided to merge, under the name of Weldgrip Groundwork, with sister company Weldgrip Geotechnical.

Weldgrip Geotechnical was established in 1975 to supply welded mesh to the mining and civil engineering industries. Geotechnical is now firmly established as one of the leading producers and suppliers of high quality strata and ground stabilis-ation products, tools and equipment worldwide.

Working together, Groundwork and Geotechnical are able to provide in-depth practical expertise and technical support based on years of experience. Our commit-ment to design, innovation and quality means our product range continues to evolve as we work to deliver enhanced strength, longevity and safety.

Meshform Permanent Formwork system is the fastest, most structurally capable and cost effective in-ground formwork solution on the market today. Meshform is made at our Warrington factory from steel mesh using varying thickness steel bar with heat shrunk layers of polythene on both sides. The flat sheets are then cut and formed to your drawings and specifications and can be delivered directly to your site within 48 hours.
Each project is jointly reviewed with our customers, any special requirements taken into account and a formwork solution detailed. The agreed solution is then manufactured and shipped to site with a complete assembly guide for rapid site installation. Meshform Permanent Formwork is ideal for ground beams, pile caps, bases, manholes, drilled piles and many other construction processes that require formwork.
