Formwork stakes provide the critical lateral support needed to hold heavy, wet concrete in place. If the stakes are spaced too far apart or not driven deeply enough into the soil, the weight of the poured concrete will push the forms outward, resulting in bowed, misshapen sidewalk edges that fail DOT inspection. NYC contractors use strong steel stakes to ensure the forms stay rigid, plumb, and perfectly aligned during the entire pouring and curing process.
