MS Shuttering Plates & Centering Specifications | JMK Engineering

## Why Steel Shuttering Plates Outperform Plywood & Timber Formwork

In heavy concrete construction, the shuttering system must withstand immense hydrostatic lateral pressure from fresh concrete, dynamic vibration loads, and repeated handling cycles. While conventional ply or timber formwork degrades after 5 to 8 uses, **Mild Steel (MS) Shuttering Plates manufactured from IS 2062 Grade steel** deliver 100+ reusable casting cycles with zero water absorption and zero formwork leakage.

JMK Engineering & Developers manufactures a comprehensive range of standard and heavy-duty centering sheets and shuttering plates at our Patna Central Works.

2. Engineering Features of JMK Industrial Shuttering Plates

A. Robotic MIG Welding & Structural Stiffness Every plate incorporates deep cross-stiffeners welded across the back using continuous CO2/MIG welding. This prevents dishing, bulging, and plate deformation during high-slump concrete vibrator compaction.

B. Slotted Slot Holes for Rapid Pin-Wedge Assembly Precision CNC-punched elliptical slots along all 4 perimeter flanges allow rapid alignment using standard taper pins, wedges, and shuttering clamps. This reduces formwork erection time by up to 60%.

C. Red Oxide Anti-Rust Primer Immediately following fabrication and degreasing, all plates receive an industrial high-adhesion anti-corrosive primer coating ensuring multi-year rust protection on exposed construction sites.
