learning shuttering

Admldj

hi there, just looking for some advice, I'm a fully qualified carpenter and have spent my 11 years in the trade working on all things domestic, the only carpentry work i haven't done since Bolton st is shuttering, a chance at a job abroad has come up for me working on huge site on a bridge project, and I'm just wondering how hard is it to pick up shuttering? or am i just wasting my time, i really need this job so I'm definitely going to go for it, any info would be much appreciated thanks

from someone who sends shuttering chip pies abroad and has worked in loads of sites i can tell you this. Most shuttering is about large amounts of common sense. you will be given foundations dims and will be asked to make the shutter based on this. it will, for all arguments be like making a large box, or open ended cabinet. the shutters are usually reinforced by timbers at the back of each pan, like you would have struts inside of a roof or anything else.

what part of the world are you in, if there is anyone i would know in that region who could give you a crash course in it i will mention it. anything to help someone get a job
