PUNE, MAHARASHTRA - 411018
SLIDE 2 ALUMINIUM FORMWORK
- This system is a set of formwork panel’s precisely
manufactured from aluminium alloy and connected together to form a mold into which concrete is poured.
- Panels are light weight avg 25kgs/sqm but very strong
to withstand pressure up to 80 kN/m2.
SLIDE 3 When it is Suitable ..?
- Mass Housing
- No. of Repetitions Are More
- Typical Floors
- Fast Construction Required
- High Quality
- Column Less Structure
- Highly Suitable To Load Bearing Structure (Shear wall)

Formwork assembly
On leaving the factory all panels are clearly labeled to ensure that they are easily identifiable on site and can be smoothly fitted together using the formwork modulation drawings. All formwork begins at a corner and proceeds as per following sequence – 1. Wall panel erection 2. Wall top/beam panel erection 3. Soffit length panels 4. Deck panels 5. Kicker panels
SLIDE 5 Formwork assembly
- SIMPLICITY – PIN AND WEDGE SYSTEM
The panels are held in position by a simple pin and wedge system that passes through holes in the outside rib of each panel. The panels fit precisely, simply and securely and require no bracing.

Advantages of Aluminium Formwork
Aluminium formwork is specifically designed to allow rapid construction of all types of architectural layouts. 1) Total system forms the complete concrete structure. 2) Custom designed to suit project requirements. 3) Unsurpassed construction speed. 4) High quality finish. 5) Cost effective. 6) Panels can be reused up to 250 times. 7) Erected using unskilled labor.
SLIDE 21 Advantages of Aluminium Formwork
▪ Easy to handle. ▪ Aluminum does not rust like steel; therefore, the Aluminium formwork can
be reused hundreds of times.
▪ Formwork is made with an aluminium alloy, which has high tensile strength
and is also very hard.
▪ Saving on overhead expenses due to speedy construction. ▪ Doesn’t require timber or plywood for construction activities so, it saves the
environment.
▪ Casting of walls and slabs possible simultaneously. ▪ Doesn’t require skilled labour. ▪ Less debris generation. ▪ Higher scrap value. ▪ Carpet area will increase. ▪ Collect the best premium from the customer, because of 100% RCC
buildings.

SLIDE 52 ALUMINIUM FORMWORK – INDUSTRY TRIGGERS
Key triggers for aluminum formwork industry in India – expected to lead to dramatic increase in usage - 1. Low cost mass housing scheme – Pradhan mantri Awas Yojna.
- 2. Implementation of RERA.
- 3. Bigger
builders already shifting to aluminium formwork to ensure quality Aluminium formwork sales was estimated at 8 lakh sq.m for AY-2015-16
SLIDE 53 LOW COST HOUSING
- Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna- Govt of India
has set a target of building 2 crore houses in low cost/mass housing segment by 2022.
are usually consisting
buildings of simple design & high no. of repetitions – creating need for durable formwork.
- The deadline for these projects is very strict - making
cycle time very important – and hence use of monolithic formwork is necessary.
- Aluminum formwork fulfills all the needs of these
projects.

SLIDE 60 RERA Act
Salient points of RERA act implement on 1st May 2017
- 1. Possession date will be sacrosanct – Builder will face
strict action for missing deadline – monolithic formwork will get preference to complete projects on time.
- 2. Developers will be liable for repairing any defects for
5 years – this clause will lead to greater emphasis on factory made quality formwork rather than depend
- n labor skill.
- 3. Real estate developer will not be able to make
changes in project after start – will lead to pre- planning – suiting factory made formwork.
