Abstract

Aluminium Formwork System, a comparatively a new technology in India, saves cost, time and improves the quality of construction. Aluminium Formwork is successfully used in Japan, Singapore and Malaysia for the construction of apartments and buildings, both low high rises. For repetition of building layouts and for above-the-plinth work, Aluminium Formwork system is very cost effective. This is one of the systems identified to be very much suitable for Indian conditions for mass construction, where quality and speed can be achieved at a hight level. The speed of construction of this system will surpass the speed of most of the other construction, to assure quality control and durability. Aluminium Formwork panels can be designed for any condition/ component of building such as bay window, stairs, balconies and special architectural features. This system is unique as all the components in building, including slabs, floors, walls columns, beam, staircase, balconies and window hood, are concrete and there is no need for block works or bark words.
