With today¡¯s advances technology, concrete construction has reached a gigantic scale, which no longer allows the use of timbers as a material for concrete forms. Timber foams requiring an army of skilled carpenters and craftsmen at construction sites have now mostly been replaced by standardized factory made steel forms, which are more efficient to use, and are accurate and economical.
The Metal Formwork System is our response to global demands for advanced formwork methods for concrete structures providing numerous advantages:
1) Precision in engineering and fabrication ensures both strength and minimum weight for static load conditions. Our formwork maintains absolute rigidity throughout the concrete pouring process with fewer supporting members and it can withstand rough treatment so it provides greater safety for the on-site workmen.
2) Accurately aligned concrete structures with a smooth finish, even density and a minimum fin are made possible by the greater (erection) rigidity of the Metal Formwork System.
3) Deterioration does not occur even under adverse conditions. The forms so not wrap, swell or shrink.
4) Design cost is reduced for any specify job because the standardized units can be adapted to suit any particular requirement.
5) Erection and removal costs are also reduced because the bracing and tying works requires no special skills of the workmen and can be done mechanically. Thereby construction time and costs are kept to a minimum.
6) Greater durability allows the Metal Foams to be used repeatedly on successive construction sites, cutting costs.
7) Standardized sizes and shapes allow for greater ease in stacking and transporting.
8) The metal forms can be used for all concrete structures such as walls, columns, beams, slabs, etc
