MODULE 01
Excavation and trench support
Sections, long sections and plans drawn to scale, with the method on each side, the ground, plant, surcharges and services.
Temporary works design briefs
Temporary works briefs, done properly.
TworkX is a construction tool that helps you transfer what you know about the site to the temporary works designer, as a complete design brief that is ready to issue.

What the designer receives
- 01
The scope of the design and a description of the works, written from your data
- 02
Sections, plans and details drawn to scale
- 03
The ground, the loads, the plant and the constraints, each printed once
- 04
The proposed categories with their reasons
- 05
Who does what, and one schedule of what the designer must return
The brief sets up the design
A designer can only design what the brief tells them. When the ground, the staging, a surcharge or a nearby service is missing or unclear, it comes back as a request for information, a delay or a redesign. TworkX walks you through what the designer needs and shows you what is still missing before the brief goes out.
Features
What TworkX does
Guided questions
Each module asks what the designer needs to know, in plain language, with an explanation of why it matters.
A live gap check
Missing or inconsistent information is flagged as you go, ranked by how much it matters.
Auto solve
One click fills in what your data already answers and proposes the rest from good practice, for you to confirm.
Risk categories
Proposes the CFR, DCR and ER categories and the check category, each with its reasons, for you to decide, following the TWfAU Temporary Works Risk Guidelines and Procedural Control Good Practice Guideline, published by Engineers Australia.
Clear responsibilities
A responsibility matrix sets out who provides, designs, checks and approves each part.
Drawn as you type
The section is drawn beside the geometry as you enter it, and the brief carries sections, plans and junction details drawn to scale from your data.
Ready to issue

Modules
Three modules
MODULE 02
Formwork and falsework
Every pour drawn to scale, with every junction and construction joint, the full wet concrete head and the falsework founding.
MODULE 03
Scaffolding
The brief with the plan, elevations and section, plus a component take-off and materials list for the supplier to price.
What TworkX is not
TworkX does not design temporary works and does not check designs. It makes sure the designer starts with the full picture. The design, and the design check, stay with your temporary works designer and checker.
Who it is for
Site engineers, project engineers and temporary works coordinators who prepare briefs, and the contractors they work for. Designers benefit too: a complete brief means fewer questions back to site.
