  • The system of Aluminum forms has been used widely in the construction of residential units and mass housing projects. It is fast, simple & adaptable. It produces total quality work which requires minimum maintenance and its durability is the prime consideration.
  • This system is unique as all the components in a building, including slabs, floors, walls, columns, beams, staircases, balconies and window are concrete and there is no need for block works or brick works.
  • Each floor apartment’s floor, wall, staircase, balconies are done with one time concreting.
  • Monolithic casting of apartments will mitigate the problems of leakages compared to conventional type of buildings.
  • All Electrical & Plumbing points are provided to meet the requirements.
  • The system is durable & robust as the whole building is of box type structure in Reinforced Cement Concrete.
  • The formwork gives the box type design resulting in the walls giving support to all walls / slabs in two directions. As a result, the structures are more resistant to earthquakes.
  • Architectural changes are not permitted upon final design completion.
  • No form work material wastage / negligible wastage – Environmental Friendly construction method.
  • No columns inside apartment & hence more functional space for customer are assured.
  • Not having columns results in no internal offsets as we have continuous smooth surface finish offering better value to customer.
  • Higher Carpet area due to less wall thickness
  • Negligible Maintenance post occupation
  • Assured durability of the housing units
  • All concrete (walls, slabs, staircases etc.) are poured at one stretch & hence there are no construction joints and no problems of leaking joints compared to conventional method. Smooth concrete finish means that no plastering is required & there by eliminating problems due to cracks / paint flaking. Results in less maintenance. All four walls in a room, as well as the floor and ceiling, are cast-in-place reinforced concrete. The result is a rigid reinforced “box�? structure, which has no joints and is very durable.
  • 1. The Pin & 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. They require no bracing. Buildings can be constructed quickly and easily by unskilled labour with a hammer being the only tool required. Once the panels have been numbered, measuring is not necessary.
  • 2. Advantage of Speed & Quality
    The in-situ construction of all walls and partitions reduces the requirement for follow-on wet trades. The concrete surface finish produced with the aluminium forms allows achievement of a high quality wall finish without the need for extensive plastering. Doors and windows are formed in position, with this high degree of precision items such as door and window frames can be directly installed on site with minimal re-sizing required.
