FAQ
Aluminium Formwork System is a revolutionary construction Technology, which has been successfully used and developed over 30 years, for forming cast in situ reinforced concrete building structures. In this unique system, all walls, floor slabs, columns, beams, stairs, balconies, together with door and window openings are cast in situ in a single site based operation. ( Monolithic construction ). The resulting building structure is extremely strong, accurate in dimensions and tolerances, with a excellent quality of finished concrete surface and yet at the same time the Aluminium Formwork System is fast, adaptable and really cost effective.
Aluminium formwork system is a versatile solution for forming concrete structures and is very cost effective and efficient. Compared to conventional construction procedures, it provides a very excellent quality finish and evenness, while reducing floor competition cycles to 4-5 days. The lightweight panels eliminate the requirement for tower cranes, making installation both easier and safer. In addition, this formwork system is also suitable to varying structural geometries and wall heights.
Superior Concreting
Aluminium formwork can 100% turn your design into reality and achieve no-plastering concreting to lower your cost on building surface decoration.
Cost-Saving
It will create less waste on site, need less labour in operation, simplify site management and shorten your construction schedule, which all means saving budget.
Quick Turnover
With an average turnover period of 4 days/ floor, aluminium formwork can improve productivity significantly and save site cost.
High Reusability
Within its lifespan, the aluminium formwork can be reused over 250-300 times, which will save 30% budget in total, compared with timber and steel formwork
Grade– 6061-T6
Aluminium Sheet– Grade – 5052/3105 (4mmThickness)
Standard Sizes of Wall Panels– 2050x600mm , 2050x500mm & 2050x450mm,
Standard Size of Deck Panels– 1200x600mm
It generally vary from project to project. It also depend on whether internal wall are taken in concrete or masonry. A thumb rule can be applied for residential building, formwork area as 5-6 times the construction area in m2. For example 600 sqm floor area you will required approximately 3000-3600 sqm of formwork.
Load bearing capacity is approx. 60 KN/m2
The data can never be wrong, which will explain why more and more builders / contractors turn to aluminium formwork in the world.

This SOP is applicable to the current phase of COVID-19 pandemic in India (local transmission and limited community transmission). For construction sector, NAREDCO, under the guidance of Ministry of Health and Family - Modern Method Of Construction- Tunnel Form
Tunnel form is a formwork system that allows the contractor to cast walls and slabs in one operation in a daily cycle. It combines the speed, quality and accuracy of factory/off-site production with the flexibility and economy of in-situ construction and is recognised as a modern method of construction (MMC).

I have worked with Arvind Mehta from 1997 to 2019. He is an exceptional Civil Engineer with a great focus on quality and attention to details. We at Marathon started using Aluminium formwork from the year 2004 and from Marathon Era project. During that time, the formwork was designed by the manufacturer. Subsequently, because of his quest for knowledge and learning, he developed the skill of formwork designing and started designing formwork for various buildings at Marathon. Because of his pro-activeness and initiatives, we at Marathon have saved crores of money. His ability to visualize and understand details from the 2D drawings helped Marathon to simplify construction, simplify formwork and thus saved cost. He has utilized almost 70-80% of old inventory and helped the company to save cost.

Arvind Mehta has an in-depth understanding of the complete Aluminium Formwork System. With his extensive experience spanning more than 2 and a half decades, he has completed almost all types of Residential structures (LIG, MIG and HIG). He has ability to identify the practical difficulties faced by workers during actual execution. He takes care all these challenges while designing of formwork system. The main design requirement of Aluminium formwork system is to accommodate the desired speed, accuracy and finished quality of the final product which otherwise if identified later, a lot of time is wasted in rectification. Moreover, it is also observed in India that the imported Aluform is never used for the number of cycles that the original vendor claims (@150-200). The redesign process of shuttering really helped us to reuse the available Aluform upto 80-85%.

Mr. Arvind Mehta has vast experience in Aluminium Formwork System designing and modifications to accommodate last minute design changes which has helped us to canvas Mumbai’s Skyline. With his eye for detailing and knowledge about Lean Construction practices, he has re-designed formwork for new projects using old formwork because of which we have been able to reuse formwork far more than industry standard repetitions.
