High-rise construction using aluminum concrete formwork




Advantages of aluminium formwork over conventional construction

• 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 bat 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 formworks.
• Simplified foundation design due to consistent load distribution.
• The natural density of concrete wall result in better sound transmission coefficient.
