The Aluminium formwork born in the United States in 1962 has been widely used nowadays for global concrete structure in developed countries such as America and Canada newly industrialized countries such as Mexico, Brazil, Malaysia, South Korea and India after 50 years of development. Aluminium Formwork can be used more times compared with the traditional formwork. It is light with the average wight of 23 - 27 kg/m2, convenient to use and easy to install, thus saving the labor cost and shortening the working period. Meanwhile it makes the concrete surface flat smooth basically reaching the demand of veneer and water coagulation, which greatly improves the project quality.

 

√ Short construct period in average 4-5days/floor

√ 300 reuse times, reduce average project cost                          

√ Easy to use, high efficiency, don’t need workers with high specialized skills

√ Good stability, high bearing up to 60KN/M2

√ High project quality, smooth surface, no need plaster process

√ No construction trash and noise, reduce potential safety risk

√ 80% standard components, can be reused in next project

√ High recycle value, average value up to US$60/M2

√ Eco-friendly, comply with environmental protection requirements

√ Simple supporting system, make the site wide space

Alv aluminum formwork is an early removing system with the working period of 5 days. After setting of the concrete within 24 hours, the set of panels can be removed for the repetitive use for the next floor thereby achieving a short construction period and a high quality concrete structure.
