What are the new updates on the formwork in construction?
Let us talk about the importance of formworks in the construction industry. Formwork is unquestionably important in any construction; its fundamental benefit is that it cannot be substituted by any other technology. Concrete structures can be built rapidly and at a low cost by employing formwork.
A formwork provides suitable access and working platforms throughout the construction process, significantly improving workers’ and employees’ safety & also scaffold safety.
By reducing the floor-to-floor building cycle time, formwork aids in the reduction of project timelines and costs, allowing more projects to meet their budgetary requirements. Formwork enables construction managers to provide precise on-time shuttering and de-shuttering of formwork resources, resulting in increased project efficiency and resource utilization.
Concrete is the most common application for formwork. It aids in the creation of a smooth concrete finished surface. It ensures structural safety while concreting by providing solutions for all overlay loads, resulting in constructions that are both safe and practical.
Nova Formworks introduces the Monolithic construction method. In the construction of high-rise buildings and skyscrapers, the use of Monolithic construction technology is used. This Monolithic construction can withstand high loads without being destroyed, so it was previously used in seismic zones.
Adopting this technology is a must for gaining high seismic resistance due to monolithic slab & wall construction which in turn reduces the number of joints and improves water tightness, reducing labor cost & unskilled manpower management. Last but not least, if the technology is implemented early in the project planning and design stage, project costs can be reduced by up to 25%.
