Unimax International is one of the established eco-friendly organisations in aluminium formwork system serving the construction industry with updated and customised solutions. An ISO 9001:2008 certified company having two state-of-the-art manufacturing unit each in Sonepat, Haryana as well as in Pantnagar, Uttrakhand are well supported by in-house R&D activities.

Unimax with continuous innovations using latest technology and system, has a highly professional project support team committed to provide formwork system which is of high quality andensures achieving faster slab cycles at competitive prices. The company’s expertise is in designing the formwork system by using high-end software such as Staad, Revit and AutoCAD to meet the specific requirement.

Max Aluminium Formwork
Max Aluminium Formwork is hand set panelised formwork system in which slab, beam, column and walls can be casted at one go which can make the unit a composite structure. It is a specially designed, easy-to-handle pre-engineered light-weight aluminium forms. Rapid construction of multiple units of repetitive type structure is done by semi-skilled labour. The number of props defined by the system ensures safety and quick assembly.

Under the dynamic leadership of Rajesh Sharma and Nitin Sharma, Directors of the company, Max has grown from strength to strength and is now a preferred choice of engineers and contractors. The company began its eventful journey. The company started manufacturing aluminium formwork in 2011 and has now carved a niche for itself through its R&D focus, innovative product range, and excellent technical support services.

Here, Rajesh Sharma gave insights into the company’s product range, the general state of affairs of the formwork industry in India and their future plans.

Benefits of using Max Formwork
• 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 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 forms.
• Lesser manual labour: Less labour is required for carrying formwork.
• Simplified foundation design: Due to consistent load distribution.
• Natural density of concrete wall: Result in better sound transmission coefficient.

Advantages of aluminium formwork over others
Other formwork has always posed a security threat and there were many unaddressed challenges in terms of casting time. With the advancement of technology and more global players entering India, aluminium formwork has seen a major shift in terms of construction quality. The time taken to cast a structure has drastically reduced by 150 per cent compared to the traditional shuttering. This has helped the contracts to project before time, and in addition, get good quality of concrete finish.
