Aluminum formwork system is a construction system for forming cast in place concrete structure of a building. It is also a system for scheduling and controlling the work of other construction trades such as steel reinforcement, concrete placement and mechanical and electrical conduits.
The system is fast,simple, adaptable and very cost effective. It is unique because it forms all of the concrete in a building including walls, floor slabs, columns, beams, stairs, window hoods, balconies, and various decorative features in exact accordance with the architect’ design. The dimensional accuracy of the concreted work also results in consistent fittings of doors and windows. The smooth-off form finish of the concrete eliminates the need for costly plastering.
Advantages:
No plastering required.
Savings on overhead expenses due to speedy construction(4 days per floor)
Monolithic crack free structures
Doesn’t require timber or plywood for construction activities
Casting of walls and slabs possible simultaneously
Doesn’t require skilled labour
Floor slab forms removed without moving props
Earthquake resistance of resulting structures increases manifold
The formwork is specially designed to allow rapid construction on all types of architectural layouts.
Total system forms the complete concrete structure
Custom-designed to suit project requirements.
Unsurpassed construction speed.
High quality finish.
Eliminates plastering, saves almost 50 percent construction time.
The system becomes cost effective where there is considerable repetition of floor layouts on a project such as in the case of low cost mass housing.
Panels can be reused up to 300 times.
Erected using unskilled labour
Requires no cranes or heavy lifting equipment
Suitable for low as well as high rise buildings
No need to use any timber or plywood
The resulting structures are highly durable and this ensures that the expenditure on maintenance is kept to a minimum.
After the 25 cycles of reusing of our formwork system we will reach the breakeven point of the conventional formwork cost.
