Formwork Tie Rod for Shuttering (12mm–25mm Sizes)

Formwork Tie Rod is a high-strength threaded steel bar used in RCC shuttering systems to hold formwork panels securely during concrete pouring. It maintains proper alignment, resists fresh concrete pressure, and prevents bulging or shuttering failure on construction sites.

At AMCO Exports, we manufacture heavy-duty formwork tie rods in sizes ranging from 12mm to 25mm, produced with precise thread pitch and controlled diameter for consistent performance. In addition, we offer custom sizes, lengths, and threading options based on project requirements.

Moreover, we support bulk orders and project supply across India and export markets, ensuring timely delivery for construction companies and contractors.

As an ISO-certified manufacturer established in 1989, AMCO Exports supplies scaffolding and formwork accessories with consistent quality, reliable performance, and long-term durability for infrastructure projects.

Formwork Tie Rod Manufacturer in India | Heavy-Duty Tie Rod Supply

 

Formwork tie rod are essential components in RCC shuttering systems. They hold formwork panels together during concrete pouring, maintain proper spacing, and resist fresh concrete pressure. As a result, they prevent shuttering failure and ensure accurate alignment on site.

At AMCO Exports, we manufacture high-strength formwork tie rods in sizes ranging from 12mm to 25mm. Each rod features precise thread pitch and controlled diameter, ensuring smooth tightening with wing nuts and waller plates. In addition, we use durable steel grades to deliver consistent performance in demanding construction environments.

These tie rods work together with  Formwork Combi Plates to distribute load evenly and secure shuttering systems. Moreover, they integrate easily with standard accessories, improving overall site efficiency. After stripping, contractors can remove wall ties using a tie puller tool for formwork, ensuring faster and cleaner dismantling .
