Overview
Zolo automatic hydraulic tunnel formwork is the equipment to make the concrete lining for the tunnel in one time, with the advantages of good concreting quality, high-speed of installation and removal of the form, easy operation and safety.
The empty gantry allows the transport vehicles to pass. The motor gearbox is adopted to drive the whole
equipment, the formwork is fully hydraulic, with hydraulic cylinder to prop & strip, and lock mechanically.
Features
1. Humanization &automation: reduce labor costs, improve construction efficiency and reduce construction risks.
2. Universality: standardization production makes a large number of standard parts in equipment, to promote the Zolo tunnel formwork universality and repeat-use.
3. Finite element analysis: calculation of force optimization structure, under the premise of ensuring strength, reducing the amount of steel used in the equipment, reduce construction costs.
4. Tailor-made: 6m, 9m, 10m, 12m or designed according to customer requirements.

Tunnel Lining Formwork Instructions
Tunnel lining formwork is a crucial aspect of constructing tunnels, providing support and shaping for the concrete lining. The working process of Tunnel lining formwork is as follows:
Tunnel lining formwork is a crucial element in the construction of tunnels, providing support and shape to the inner surface of the tunnel. The process involves several key steps:
Design and Planning:
Before starting the tunnel lining formwork, engineers design and plan the formwork system based on the tunnel specifications, dimensions, and structural requirements.
Material Selection:
Choose appropriate materials for the formwork, considering factors such as strength, durability, and ease of assembly and disassembly.
Assembly of Formwork:
Erect the formwork structure inside the tunnel using pre-designed components. This structure will define the shape and dimensions of the tunnel lining.
Placement of Reinforcement:
Install any required reinforcement, such as steel bars or mesh, within the formwork. This reinforcement enhances the structural integrity of the tunnel lining.
Concrete Placement:
Once the formwork and reinforcement are in place, concrete is poured into the space between the formwork and the tunnel excavation. This is often done in sections or rings.
Curing and Setting:
Allow the concrete to cure and set. This process ensures that the concrete gains the necessary strength before the formwork is removed.
Formwork Removal:
After the concrete has sufficiently cured, carefully dismantle and remove the formwork. This step requires precision to avoid damaging the newly formed tunnel lining.
Quality Control:
Inspect the tunnel lining for quality and adherence to design specifications. This may involve testing the concrete for strength and checking the alignment and smoothness of the lining.
Finishing Touches:
If necessary, apply additional finishes or coatings to the tunnel lining to enhance durability, waterproofing, or other specific requirements.
Continuation of Tunnel Construction:
Once the formwork is removed and the lining is in place, construction activities inside the tunnel can continue, such as the installation of utilities, tracks, or other infrastructure components.
Throughout the entire process, safety measures should be in place, considering the confined space and potential hazards associated with tunnel construction.
