LVL Formwork Timber 150mm x 77mm x 5.8m is a structural laminated veneer lumber beam built for bearers, joists, walers, and soldiers in concrete formwork. Standard sawn timber can bow or twist along its length, and strength can vary from one length to the next, which shows up as an uneven concrete finish once the formwork comes off.
Laminated veneer construction solves this. Thin timber veneers are bonded into a single 150mm x 77mm section, which holds its strength and straightness along the full 5.8m length. The beam is lighter than equivalent sawn timber of the same size, and its edges are chamfered for easier handling. A water repellent paint finish protects the timber through repeated site use.
Formwork carpenters and concreters use this LVL beam on residential and commercial concrete pours across New Zealand, from slab bearers and joists to soldiers and walers on vertical wall forms.

About Formwork LVL 150 x 77
LVL Formwork Timber 150mm x 77mm x 5.8m is used as bearers, joists, walers, and soldiers in concrete formwork. Formwork carpenters use it to support and brace timber or plywood formwork panels before a concrete pour.
The beam measures 5.8m long, 150mm deep, and 77mm wide. This section size is the standard profile used for formwork bearers and joists on New Zealand construction sites.
Yes, LVL Formwork Timber and LVL formwork beam refer to the same product. Both terms describe structural laminated veneer lumber manufactured for use in concrete formwork rather than general building framing.
The water repellent paint finish slows moisture uptake through the end grain during outdoor site storage. The chamfered edges reduce splintering and make the beam more comfortable and safer to handle during formwork assembly and strike.
Yes. Laminated veneer lumber is lighter than an equivalent size of solid sawn timber, which makes the 5.8m beam easier for one or two people to lift, carry, and position on site.
Powerpac also stocks the same 150mm x 77mm LVL formwork profile in 3.6m and 6.0m lengths, so crews can match the beam length to the span of the formwork job.
Yes. LVL formwork timber is built to be reused across multiple concrete pours, provided it is inspected for damage and stored to keep the water repellent coating intact between jobs.
