Concrete spacer selection differs between columns, walls, slabs and foundations because reinforcement direction, load, formwork contact and geometry are different.
Slabs
Slab spacers support horizontal reinforcement above the form surface. Stability and contact area are important across larger surfaces.
Walls
Wall reinforcement is vertical, so attachment to reinforcement and resistance to movement during placement become more important.
Columns
Column cages require spacers that help maintain distance from the form surface while fitting the cage and stirrup geometry.
Foundations
Foundation ..
A bored-pile concrete spacer helps maintain distance between a circular reinforcement cage and the surrounding bore surface so that concrete cover can be maintained around the cage.
Why Are Spacers Used in Bored Piles?
The reinforcement cage is lifted and lowered into the bore. Spacers help reduce direct contact between reinforcement and the bore wall and support more consistent cage positioning.
How Are They Positioned?
Spacers are attached or positioned around the cage at suitable points. The geometry needs to remain stable while the cage is handled and lowered.

Panel formwork is a modular formwork system used for reinforced-concrete walls, columns, foundations and retaining walls. Steel-framed panels work together with locks, corner connections, braces and lifting accessories to create a reusable and organized concrete-forming surface.
For current product options, see the Panel Formwork - Trio Formwork product page.
How Does Panel Formwork Work?
Prefabricated modular panels are connected side by side or vertically to form the required wall or column geometry. Locks secure panel joints, corner components complete changes in direction, braces support..
Trio panel formwork and H20 timber-beam formwork can both be used for reinforced-concrete walls and columns, but they differ in panel construction and the way they adapt to project dimensions. Panel systems rely on ready-made steel-framed modular panels, while H20 systems combine timber beams, steel walers, plywood and related components.
For the basic panel-system structure, see What Is a Panel Formwork System?. For H20 beam applications, see H20 Timber Beam: Sizes, Features and Uses.
How Is Trio Panel Formwork Built?
Trio-type systems use prefabricated steel-framed panels. Different panel ..
Formwork vibrators and immersion concrete vibrators compact fresh concrete in different ways. The main difference is how vibration is transferred into the concrete.
Formwork Vibrator
A formwork vibrator is attached externally to the formwork and transfers vibration through the form face.
Immersion Vibrator
An immersion or poker vibrator places the vibrating head directly into fresh concrete. Head diameter must suit reinforcement spacing and available access.
Main Differences

Shoulder-type and high-frequency concrete vibrators can both be used to compact fresh concrete, but their mobility and working arrangements differ.
Shoulder-Type Vibrator
The motor unit moves with the operator, making this format useful where frequent movement around the jobsite is important.
High-Frequency Vibrator
High-frequency poker vibrators are available with different head diameters and can suit planned concrete-placement work where head size and access are important.
What Determines the Choice?

Table shoring is a modular temporary support system used below reinforced-concrete slab formwork. Frames, cross bracing, lower and upper adjustment components and H20 timber beams can work together as one organized slab-support arrangement.
Where Is Table Shoring Used?
Table shoring can be used in repeated slab areas, larger formwork zones and buildings with regular structural grids, depending on project requirements.
Main Components
Table-shoring frames
Cross and tension bracing
Lower adjustment spindles
U-heads or 4-way heads
H20 timber beams and form-facing surface

If a concrete vibrator motor runs but the poker head does not vibrate, the fault may be somewhere in the mechanical drive path between the motor connection and the head. This article focuses on fault symptoms, not repair instructions.
For maintenance and hose replacement, see Concrete Vibrator Repair and Hose Replacement.
Motor Runs but the Head Does Not Vibrate
The coupling, flexible shaft or poker-head mechanism may no longer be transferring motion correctly.
Weak or Intermittent Vibration
Wear in the flexible shaft, loose connections, a crushed hose or wear in the head mechanism can prod..
Concrete vibrator selection should consider more than motor power. Poker-head diameter needs to fit reinforcement spacing, concrete-section dimensions and the available access inside the formwork.
50 mm
A smaller head can be easier to move through tighter reinforcement or restricted formwork areas.
58 and 60 mm
These mid-range diameters can suit a range of wall, column, foundation and general concrete applications depending on reinforcement spacing and access.
65 and 80 mm
Larger heads can be considered for larger concrete sections, but they may not physically pass through dense reinforceme..
Concrete vibrator repair and maintenance involves the motor connection, outer hose, flexible shaft and poker head working as one mechanical drive system. Heavy use, sharp hose bends, impact and wear can reduce vibration performance over time.
This article focuses on repair, maintenance and hose replacement. For fault diagnosis when the motor runs but the head does not vibrate, see Concrete Vibrator Not Vibrating?.
