“Our easy to use and economically viable formwork solutions are aimed at achieving faster forming, de-shuttering and reducing concreting cycle time”

Sharp Engineers offers world-class products and services in aluminium formwork systems for projects and engineering solutions like acoustic enclosures, core drying ovens, stainless steel, and glass fits-outs or finishes to the construction industry.

Over the years, Sharp Engineers has emerged as a well-known company in successfully managing turnkey projects from concept to commissioning all over India.

The company was started in 1987 for manufacturing plant setup equipment like boilers, thermic fluid heaters, painting systems, ovens and necessary allied utilities. Today it has the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at its plant in Chakan including CNC turret punches, CNC press brakes, laser cutting machines, painting and powder coating plants, and NC controlled shearing facilities.

Formwork systems for construction industry

“Our easy to use and economically viable formwork solutions are aimed at achieving faster forming, de-shuttering and reducing concreting cycle time; apart from guaranteed superior finish and near total saving of plastering work thereby making our solutions efficient and cost-effective conforming to the latest DIN 18218 standards,” said Amit Agarwal, Director of Sharp Engineers. The company ensures high level accuracy for each project from designing to on site erection.  “Packing or palleting of panels is done with utmost care for ease of handling, transport and delivery. Each panel is identified as a unique component with bar code system which can be assembled at site even by inexperienced persons,” he adds. “Indigenously designed and manufactured system works out economical and offers unlimited onsite support by our team of experts.”

Sharp Engineers’s aluminium formwork system is being used for many major construction projects across India.Due to the fine tolerances achieved in the machined metal formwork components, consistent concrete shapes and finishes are obtained floor after floor, building after building, conforming to quality and accuracy standards. This allows plumbing and electrical fittings to be prefabricated with the certain knowledge that there will be an exact fit when assembled. The dimensional accuracy at the concreted work also results in exact fitting of doors and windows.  The smooth off form finish of the concrete eliminates the need for costly plastering.

Sharp Engineers’s aluminium formwork system provides a tailor-made solution to suit each site or project for cast-in-situ fully concrete structure. The formwork system is unique because it enables the construction of the entire structure of a building in R.C.C. with all the members including walls, floor slabs, window hoods, balconies, sunken floors and various decorative features, being cast integrally for each floor as per the architect’s requirement.

Advantages of aluminium formwork over conventional construction

• More seismic resistance: The box type construction provides more seismic resistance to the structure

• Increased durability: The durability of a complete concrete structure is more than conventional brick bat masonry

• Lesser number of joints thereby reducing the leakages and enhancing the durability

• Higher carpet area: Due to shear walls the walls are thin thus increasing area

• Integral and smooth finishing of wall and slab: Smooth finish of aluminium can be seen vividly on walls

• Uniform quality of construction: Uniform grade of concrete is used

• Negligible maintenance: Strong built up of concrete needs no maintenance

• Faster completion: Unsurpassed construction speed can be achieved due to light weight of aluminium form work system

• Lesser labour is required for carrying formworks

• Simplified foundation design due to consistent load distribution

• Natural density of concrete wall result in better sound transmission coefficient.

Stainless steel and glass interiors

Glass and stainless steel interiors are more aesthetic and have a pleasing look, this weather resistant, anti-corrosive is easy on maintenance. Most landmark structures are now going for this luxury looking interior fittings.

“Our expertise to understand client’s specific requirement helps us to come up with stunning designs and the cost-effective solutions have earned our products acclaim from various quarters of the industry,” Mr Agarwal informs.

Apart from interiors, Sharp Engineers creates enviable customised designs for spiral stair cases, canopy, wall and ceiling cladding, ramps and bridges etc.
