A formwork assembly for casting a concrete structure. The formwork assembly comprises a support member which may support a conventional armature grid if any, and further comprises at least one liquid-tight and load-bearing formwork wall connected to the support member. The formwork wall includes at least two panels each defining a peripheral edging, each one of the panels having at least one first dovetail joint means about its peripheral edging. Each formwork wall also comprises a panel connector having at least two second dovetail joint means, each second dovetail joint means being complementary to the first dovetail joint means of a corresponding panel; wherein each second dovetail joint means of the connector is interlocked with the first dovetail joint means of a corresponding panel to form a dovetail joint therewith, in order for the connector to hold the panels in an edgewisely juxtaposed fashion to form a continuous formwork wall. The formwork assembly further includes a securing member for securing the connector and the panels together, and a supporting structure for supporting the formwork wall in the desired position.
