Concrete forms

[Rob Tucker]

There is no one answer to that except that for ground work it is not necessary to wait until the concrete is fully set over twenty four hours.

The time to await form removal will vary due to the wetness (slump) of the cement, the weather conditions and the rate at which it sets.

Usually within a couple hours forms for low or ground level concrete can be removed and easily cleaned. Some structural elevated concrete may require the forms to remain in place for weeks.
