Today structures with complete concrete shear walls have become a design trend leading to reduction in timelines as many activities like brick work or block work and plastering are eliminated. MFS Aluminium Formwork System is best suited for these structures ensuring monolithic concreting which enhances quality of the structure making it free from cracks, seepages and highly resistant to earthquakes, says Rohitt Sharma, Director of MFS Formwork Systems Pvt Ltd.

Unique features of MFS Aluminium Formwork System

MFS Aluminium Formwork is a unique system which ensures monolithic concreting that eliminates one stage of concreting. Entire forms for vertical (shear walls or columns) and horizontals (beams and slab) including staircases, balconies, window hoods, storage lofts etc. are set at one stage for single pour resulting in accurate finish with consistent quality.

According to Sharma, “MFS Aluminium Formwork System is an advanced formwork technology highly suitable for mass housing construction where quality and speed can be maintained at a reasonably high-level.” He adds, “Speedy construction, consistency in architectural dimensions, excellent finish, less dependency on skilled workers and simplicity in erection and de-shuttering makes MFS Aluminium Formwork System more viable and preferred formwork technology for construction of mass housing projects.”

Advantages of MFS Aluminium Formwork System

• Shortens construction period (7 to 8 days slab to slab cycle is achieved).
• Reduces construction cost.
• Greater strength and durability of structure.
• Monolithic crack free structure.
• Environment friendly.
• Eliminates entire plastering.
• Seismic earthquake resistant structure.
• Civilised method of construction.

MFS offers complete designing of formwork

Designing of MFS Aluminium Formwork System is done with in-built software. A rotating 3D Model of entire unit along with individual panels is viewed for accuracy. Any overlaps or clashes are identified and removed at design stage prior to the generation and release of shop drawings assuring flawless manufacturing drawings based on which entire system is manufactured. “MFS Aluminium Formwork System is designed with maximum standard size inventory so that 60 to 65 per cent of inventory can be reused in other projects. However, if floor-to-floor height is controlled, 70 to 75 per cent of inventory can be reused making our system versatile and more economic.”

Potential application areas

MFS Aluminium Formwork System is most suited formwork system for all types of residential projects. Right from high-end projects up to affordable and low-cost housing projects their system is being used efficiently and effectively.
