Tech Talk Webinar: Reduce Formwork Time in Your Precast Factory

Presented by: Bharat Dewani from Nexsoft on behalf of RATEC

Date: Tuesday, 6 October 2026

Time: 1.00 pm NSW / VIC | 12.30 pm SA | 12.00 pm QLD / NT | 10.00 am WA

Venue: ZOOM

Invite: ZOOM Link

Reducing formwork preparation and changeover time can make a significant difference to productivity on the precast factory floor.

Join Bharat Dewani, Director of Nexsoft Australia, for a practical Tech Talk exploring how flexible formwork and modern moulding technologies can help precast manufacturers reduce manual fabrication, labour-intensive setup and unnecessary bracing while increasing production flexibility.

The session will explore:

• Creating upstands with flexible formwork – accommodating different dimensions and configurations without dedicated formwork for every variation.
• Vertical formwork support – securely positioning shutters without conventional fabricated bracing.
• Complex 3D mould casting – using UPcrete and shrinking/retractable core technologies to manufacture and demould more complex precast elements.

Attendees will gain practical ideas for reducing setup and changeover time, improving production flexibility and manufacturing complex precast elements more efficiently.
