Formwork and Reinforcement Drawings for Industrial Construction

Construction-ready drawings for foundations, floor slabs, walls and concrete levels

Formwork and reinforcement drawings turn the structural calculations into what gets built on site. In industrial construction they are crowded with anchors, embedded parts and openings from the process, piping and electrical design. INOPCO produces these drawings on the basis of our own structural design or one handed over to us.

We deliver formwork drawings, reinforcement drawings, placing instructions and steel quantities for tendering. Every change gets a revision index, so the right version is on site.

What formwork and reinforcement design covers

Formwork and reinforcement design is part of the construction documents, under the German HOAI work stage 5 of structural engineering. It defines the shape and reinforcement of each concrete member so that formwork, rebar and pouring can proceed without queries. The basis is EN 1992.

Coordination effort is higher in industrial projects than in building construction. A machinery foundation can have dozens of anchors, sleeves and openings from different disciplines. We bring this data together in one drawing.

What you receive

  • Formwork drawings with dimensions, levels and openings
  • Reinforcement drawings with bar marks and cover
  • Placing and installation instructions
  • Reinforcement quantities and bar bending schedules
  • Drawing register with revision and status

Services in detail

What our drawings contain

Formwork drawings

Member outline with dimensions, levels, joints, openings and embedded parts as the basis for formwork.

Reinforcement drawings

Bar marks, diameters, spacing, laps and concrete cover, derived from the design.

Embedded parts coordination

Anchor plates, anchor bolts, sleeves and penetrations from process, building services and electrical design brought together.

Quantities for tendering

Concrete and reinforcement quantities as the basis for bills of quantities and bid comparison.

Revision and approval

Drawings with number, revision, date and status so that the valid version is always on site.

How the drawings are produced

From calculations to approval

1. Take over the design

Review our own or a handed-over design, clarify queries and define responsibilities.

2. Collect embedded parts

Gather anchors, sleeves and openings from all disciplines and check for clashes.

3. Produce drawings

Draw formwork and reinforcement with placing details and determine quantities.

4. Check and release

Submit drawings to the agreed checking and approval route and incorporate comments.

Frequently asked questions on formwork and reinforcement

Documents, embedded parts and changes
The formwork drawing describes the concrete outline: dimensions, levels, openings, joints and embedded parts. The reinforcement drawing shows the steel inside: bar marks, diameters, spacing, bending shapes and concrete cover. Both are derived from the structural design and are part of the construction documents.
Yes. We review the calculations, clarify open questions with their author and turn the results into drawings. Responsibility for design and drawings is clearly defined beforehand.
We collect data from the process, piping, building services and electrical design, check it for clashes with the reinforcement and place it accurately in the formwork drawing. Anything still missing is marked as open rather than estimated.
Yes. We determine reinforcement quantities for tendering, for example for the silo and conveyor bridge foundations of the silo expansion. We also supply bar bending schedules for the rebar fabricator.
Every drawing has a number, revision index, date and status. Changes are marked on the drawing and described in the drawing register; superseded versions are replaced through the agreed distribution list.
