Creo que Sergio y Cristina tienen razón. Cuajado en el sentido de cerrar, rellenar, el tablero con madera

continuous wooden boards/panels

Hi Elizabeth. I guess the tricky word here would be "cuajado", which in this context means continuous (no openings on the formwork surface). The text talks about using "continuous formwork" (in the form of wooden boards) as an alternative protection system to safety netting when building one way slabs. This document will give you some pointers:

(read page 65)

You might come up with a better choice than "continuous" in English, but that is basically the meaning, and what I've dug up in this bilingual document in a sort of similar context:

close-boarded shuttering/timbering

They are obviously referring to the number of boards the shuttering or timbering has. Look at the references:
