Abstract:
1. A concrete wall formwork module comprising: a first side wall panel structure including a first wire mesh and a first panel embedding a majority of the first wire mesh so as to prevent concrete from contacting the majority of the first wire mesh; a second side wall panel structure including a second wire mesh and a second panel embedding a majority of the second wire mesh so as to prevent the concrete from contacting the majority of the second wire mesh; and at least two connecting rods having about a same length hingedly interconnecting said first and second side wall panel structures to allow movement thereof between a retracted parallel relationship to a spaced apart parallel relationship which results in a deployed concrete wall formwork module adapted to receive concrete poured therebetween and withstand sideways thrust occurring between said first and second side wall panel structures; wherein each of the first and second panels is made of an insulated material; each of the first and second wire meshes including a first series of parallel wires extending respectively along said first and second panels; at least two of said parallel wires of each of the first and second wire meshes including stand-out portions extending out of the respective first and second panels for receiving said connecting rods; wherein the length of each connecting rod is less than a distance between horizontally adjacent stand-out portions of the respective first and second panels.
