Ten Advantages of Aluminum Forming System
1. Light weight, high strength
The data has proved that the flexural strength of aluminum is triple higher than ordinary steel. With weight of 20-25KG/M2. Aluminum formwork is the lightest formwork for construction, which makes for easy handling.
2. Various sizes, high accuracy
The construction drawing is designed with strict structure, with little measurement error and high accuracy, which is very suitable for high rise buildings.
3. Safe and convenient construction
High loading capacity requires less use of props, reducing lost in material and labor. Workers can independently operate after simple training.
4. Long time used
With the lowest average lost, aluminum formworks can be used up to 300 times.
5. Wide range used
The precise-designed formwork system applies to all kinds of building elements, such as the main wall, column, beams, stairs and balconies.
6. Excellent quality
The concrete surface is very smooth, so it can saved the swing cost and shorten the construction period.
7. High efficiency
According to different climatic conditions, the formworks can be removed in 18-36 hours.
8. Recyclable value
The used aluminum material is of greater recyclable value, several times higher than steel.
9. Independent support system
The gap between the formwork support is totally enough for passing, moving and pulling.
10. Dependable safety, environmental
The construction process is totally safe. Full aluminum structure leads to no galvanization and thus minimizes the pollution to our earth.
The technical advantages of the aluminum formwork system in the urban construction:
1. Short period of construction. The aluminum form work system is in the line of quick dismantling form system. It is more cost efficient to save your management cost in that one layer(a set of wooden board and 3-6 sets of prop systems) can be completed in four working days so the construction works can be conducted in a swift manner, accelerating the site works.
2. Highly reuse rate, reducing the average cost. A complete set of the aluminum form work system, whose original material is compressed as an integrated system, can be used repeatedly over 300 times, that is, 5RMB per square meter.
3. User-friendly and high in efficiency. The aluminum form work system is easy to assemble with the average weight of 20kg, which can be totally removed and assembled by hand. The simple design of it makes it easy for the workers to learn and speed up the workflow; its average working rate per worker is 20-30 square meter.
4. Strong stability and load capacity. Presently, most of the aluminum formworks has the loading capacity of 60KN/square meter, which is sufficient to meet the loading capacity requirements of the branch formwork most of the residential buildings.
5. Wide range of application. The aluminum formworks system is suitable for the wall, the horizontal floor slab, the post, the beam, the staircase, the window and the floating plate, etc. It is also useful in the secondary structures such as the bond beams and tie columns.
6. Less joints fissure and higher accuracy. Smoother surface of the concrete after removal. There is no need to plaster of the concrete after the removal of the formwork.
7. Less waste left on the construction site. As it has higher rate in recycling, the aluminum building formwork is facile to remove with less waste, leaving a safe, clear and tidy working site.
8. General standard and usage. The specification of the aluminum form work is multiple and can be assembled with different plates according to the construction projects. Only 20% of the non-standard plates of the formwork need to be replaced in a second application.
9. Higher value in the reuse. The waste of the aluminum form work is also very high.
10. Low rate of the carbon emission. Most of the aluminum building materials belong to the renewable kinds which are in accordance with the regulations of the energy saving, the environmental protection and low carbon emission.
