Aluminium form
The Aluminium Formwork System (or Alu-Form Technology) is one of the most versatile modern construction systems. Unlike other systems, it is suited to both high and low-rise construction and has other advantages. The main highlight of Alu-Form system is the speed factor.
Aluminium is almost as strong as steel but not as heavy. Unlike timber, it doesn’t absorb moisture that can cause the material to warp, rot and swell. Because an aluminium formwork system is made from highly durable and reliable material, it can easily resist high concrete pressures.
It is no secret that assembling and installing formwork can take up a significant proportion of the overall construction time. In some instances, installation may also require additional labour and technical expertise. Fortunately, if you decide to use aluminium formwork, this is something you can do without.
With an aluminium system, formwork assembly and installation is quick and straightforward. Shuttering and striking can be done independently since there is no need to wait for a crane. As a result, you will be able to minimise the overall construction time by a significant margin.
Furthermore, additional labour and technical expertise are unnecessary when setting up and removing aluminium formwork. Extra equipment is rarely needed because many formwork systems made of this particular material are crane-independent.
