Formwork base

A support base for use in shuttering formwork, the support base configured to be disposed on a ground, the support base comprising:

• a right angle section member having a first side and an adjacent second side that define a right angle, the first side having a first surface arranged to be in contact with the ground and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first side having a plurality of openings, the right angle second member having opposite first and second ends;
• a shuttering contact member, configured for contacting the shuttering formwork and pivotally coupled to the second end of the second side of the right angle section member, the shuttering contact member extending vertically from the second member and having an adjustable and rigidly fixable angle relative to the right angle section member as defined by a at least one bracing member having one end adjustably coupled to the second side of the right angle section member with a first fixing member and an opposite end adjustably coupled to the shuttering contact member with a second fixing member, wherein at least one of the right angle section or the shuttering contact member comprises a slot having a length for receiving one of the first or second fixing members in a slidably adjustable engagement fixable at any point along an entire length of the slot;
• a plurality of roadway pins, each roadway pin configured to be inserted through one of the plurality of openings with a portion of the roadway pin extending vertically above a second surface of the first side of the right angle section member;
• a plurality of clamping brackets directly coupled to the second side of the right angle section member, including a first clamping bracket and a second clamping bracket, each clamping bracket further comprising a clamping member engageable with each clamping bracket to define a clamping portion aligned over one of the plurality of openings and positioned to engage one of the plurality of roadway pins disposed therein in the portion of the roadway pin extending above the second surface of the first side of the right angle section member;
• wherein the first clamping bracket is positioned relatively closer to the first end of the right angle section member than the second clamping bracket, and the at least one bracing member is coupled to the right angle section member at a position between the first clamping bracket and the second clamping bracket.
