Fabric Formworks

Fabric Formworks, also known as Grout Bags, are used to support, protect or stabilise subsea pipelines and structures. They may also be used to raise a pipeline or structure by jacking to a desired elevation. A Fabric Formwork is a flexible shuttering constructed from woven fabric that is subsequently filled with cement grout. The final shape of the hardened grout is defined by the shape and design of the formwork.

Ambico, together with our joint venture partners FoundOcean Ltd., fabricate these ISO certified formworks at our workshop conveniently situated in Navi Mumbai. With locally available materials, equipment & personnel we provide our clients the flexibility and convenience they desire while also substantially reducing their costs.

In addition, FoundOcean provides specialised grout mixing and pumping equipment together with experienced personnel for the successful installation of the formworks.
