Aluminum Formwork as a Factor of High-Speed Construction

«Time is Money» this Benjamin Franklin’s phrase is rather pointful for current situation in construction business. In the age of high-speed technologies the construction processes should be accurate and speedy to gain the customer. Modern technologies make it quite possible. The reliable formwork also allows achieving such results. By means of such construction systems is possible to build up monolithic concrete walls, shafts, columns and wide range of other construction elements and modules.

To obtain a plane surface with the help of the formwork it is relatively easy. The same can be said about the formation of angles and corners. If a building’s timbering is performed by highly qualified personnel, construction goes at record rates: for example, in comparison with house construction from a bricks, assembling structures using formwork is four times faster. As a result is a gain in time and in operational costs. The formwork comes in several types: wooden, metallic, concrete made, ferrocement made, and recently appeared pneumatic aluminum framework. Each type of formwork has its own advantages, but we will talk about the aluminum structure, as it is in increasing demand due to a number of advantages compared to other types of formwork.
