The Right Formwork Solution for Every Project

Our ProductsPVC Formwork & Drainage Products, Manufactured Locally Across Australia

For over three decades, builders, civil contractors, and engineers across Australia have relied on us to supply lightweight, waterproof, made-to-measure PVC tubular formwork and drainage products. From high-rise column pours in Melbourne to bridge upgrades in Brisbane, soakwell installations in Adelaide, and jetty construction on the NSW coast, our PVC forming systems are engineered to strip clean, pour true, and save time on the critical path.

PVC Column Formwork

Spirally wound tubular forms for concrete columns and piles

PVC Lined Column Formwork

Architectural-grade smooth-finish column forms

PVC Slotted Soakwells

Stormwater infiltration and drainage chambers

PVC Bridge Voids

Lightweight void formers for bridge deck & structural applications

PVC Bored Piers

Permanent and strip formwork for bored pier foundations

PVC Jetty Piers

Corrosion-proof formwork for marine and waterfront piling

Manufacturing UnitsA National Footprint, Built on Local Manufacturing

We operate dedicated factories in:

Unlike suppliers who import stock sizes or ship interstate on long lead times, we manufacture in-state. Because every column, pier form, and soakwell is manufactured to exact millimetre sizing rather than a generic standard size, there’s no wasted concrete, no on-site trimming, and no delay waiting on a container from overseas.

About Company35+ Years of Formwork Experience

Our business has grown from a single tubular formwork operation into a multi-state manufacturing network, but the fundamentals haven’t changed: light, strong, waterproof PVC forms that strip easily, leave a clean finish, and hold up in the harshest Australian conditions — from coastal humidity to inland heat. Our technical team works directly with engineers and site supervisors to confirm diameters, wall thickness, and profile selection before a single tube is wound, so what turns up on site is exactly what the drawings call for.

What sets our experience apart:

Three decades supplying the commercial construction, civil, and marine sectors – Purpose-built PVC extrusion and winding lines in four states – Made-to-measure production — no standard sizing compromises – Technical support from order through to strip – A safety-first product: no razor-sharp edges left exposed during stripping – Proven use on high-rise buildings, bridges, wharves, retaining structures, and residential slab-on-ground drainage

Our CustomersWho We Work With

Our clients span the full spectrum of the built environment:

Commercial & Residential Builders pouring column formwork for multi-storey structures, basements, and car parks

Civil Contractors and Councils installing stormwater soakwells and drainage infrastructure on subdivisions and road projects

Bridge and Infrastructure Contractors specifying lightweight void formers to reduce structural dead load

Marine, Wharf and Jetty Construction Contractors requiring corrosion-resistant piering systems for waterfront and estuarine environments

Piling and Foundation Contractors using bored pier formwork for footings in reactive or unstable ground

Structural and Civil Engineers specifying PVC formwork systems for their designs, including architectural-grade lined finishes for exposed columns

Design and Construct Contractors who need fast turnaround, exact sizing, and one point of contact across multiple states

If your project involves a concrete pour that needs to be light to handle, easy to strip, and 100% waterproof, our team can specify the right product for it.

FAQFrequently Asked Questions

What is PVC column formwork used for?

PVC column formwork is a spirally wound plastic tube used to form round concrete columns and piles on construction sites. It’s lightweight, fully waterproof, strips away cleanly, and can be manufactured to any diameter and length, avoiding the wastage that comes with fixed “standard” sizes.

We manufacture PVC formwork and drainage products from factories in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia, and deliver to builders and contractors Australia-wide.

Yes. Because PVC column and pier formwork strips away easily without damaging the concrete surface, it can stay in place longer than timber or steel formwork, which helps shorten the critical path on a construction program.

Yes. All our tubular PVC formwork — columns, bored piers, and jetty piers — is made to order to the exact millimetre, rather than supplied only in fixed stock sizes.

Our Queensland facility manufactures columns up to 2000mm in diameter, which can be freighted to any state.

Yes. Our column forms are designed so no razor-sharp edges are exposed during the stripping process, reducing handling risk for site crews.
