To check the structural integrity of column shuttering, the following steps should be taken:
1. Visual inspection of the formwork: Inspect the formwork for any signs of wear or damage that could affect its ability to hold concrete in place. Look for any cracking, bulging, warping, sagging or other visible damage.
2. Check alignment and curvature: Make sure the formwork is adequately aligned, as well as any curved elements, so that the concrete does not spill out during placement.
3. Verify strength: Use a load test to verify that the formwork can withstand the expected pressure from the concrete.
4. Measure and check depth: Make sure that the depth of the formwork is sufficient to hold the weight of the concrete.
5. Fix any problems: If any of the above problems are found, they should be addressed and fixed before the concrete is poured.
