What is aluminium formwork system?

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.

Why should one use aluminium formwork system?

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.

What are the main advantage of Aluminium Formwork System?

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.

What is the grade of Aluminium used in formwork system?

Grade- 6061-T6
Aluminium Sheet- Grade – 5052/3105 (4mmThickness)
Standard Sizes of Wall Panels- 2050x600mm , 2050x500mm & 2050x450mm
Standard Size of Deck Panels- 1200x600mm, 1100x450mm

Is it possible to use other formwork in combination with aluminium formwork?

The answer is Yes. We have executed couple of projects where we used timber, plywood in combination with aluminium formwork for non typical floor like ground floor, fire check floor, refuse floor where height and room dimension are not same as typical floor. But these all required expertise and advance planning. Our technical team will be happy to assist you in this matter.

What factor can be considered to arrive at formwork requirement for projects.

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.

Can we get comparison of different formwork system?

The data can never be wrong, which will explain why more and more builders/contractors turn to aluminium formwork in the world.
