Aluminium formwork: A cut above the rest

Aluminium formwork leads the race as it is a cut above on all parameters that users need to move forward effectively in these days where high-rise is a common solution to development in the fast moving urban world.

As structures grow taller and floor plates bigger, end users are looking for formwork systems that are cost effective, light, reusable, safe, and easy to use and de-shutter, durable and flexible. There are very few companies in India that are able to cater to all the above demands by providing a totally integrated formwork design system for a specified project with fully engineered and compatible components. Earlier, ply faced formwork found vast applications in most of the formwork usage areas, but due to various challenges faced users are looking forward to new systems which are far superior to ply faced formwork especially in terms of reducing cycle-time, cost-effectiveness, reusability and other factors.

Aluminium formwork leads the race
In the current scenario non-ply faced formwork systems like aluminium formwork, steel formwork, plastic formwork and fibre formwork are gaining popularity. Hari Om, Director, BSL Scaffolding Ltd feels aluminium formwork leads the race as it is a cut above on all parameters that users need to move forward effectively in these days where high-rise is a common solution to development in the fast moving urban world.

Unique features
• Reduces construction cycle time.
• Excellent surface finish.
• No need of external plastering, direct putty and decorative painting is done.
• Plenty of repetitions unlike plywood which gets consumed.
• Very high salvage value.
Applications
All skyscrapers having repetitive typical floors, columns, shear wall, lift core construction and any RCC structure having a series of repetition. Aluminium formworks are very popular in residential high-rise towers, pier and pier cap casting.
