HS v2017 Code: 441840
About wood; shuttering for concrete constructional work
HS code 441840 covers wood products used as shuttering for concrete construction work. This industry plays a vital role in the construction sector, providing essential materials for formwork and molds that help shape and support concrete structures during the curing process. As a key component of the broader wood products manufacturing industry, this segment contributes to the overall economic activity and development in many countries.
Production process
The production of wood shuttering for concrete construction typically involves sawing, planing, and assembling various wood components to create the desired formwork shapes and sizes. Manufacturers may use softwoods like pine or hardwoods like oak, depending on the specific requirements of the construction project. Advanced techniques like computer-aided design and computer numerical control (CNC) machining are increasingly being employed to improve precision and efficiency in the manufacturing process.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of wood shuttering include raw timber, adhesives, fasteners, and specialized machinery such as saws, planers, and assembly equipment. Manufacturers may also rely on power tools, measuring devices, and quality control instruments to ensure the final products meet industry standards. Availability of high-quality, sustainably sourced timber is a critical factor for this industry.
Production outputs
The primary output of this industry is 441840 Wood; shuttering for concrete constructional work, which is then consumed by the 2361 Construction of buildings and 2362 Civil engineering industries. These wood shuttering products are essential for the construction of a wide range of concrete structures, including buildings, bridges, dams, and other infrastructure projects.
