Self-climbing Hydraulic Formwork |
|
|
|
The concrete
core is built with hydraulic climbform system saving time and ensuring quality.
The same formwork was used for the whole concrete core reducing the generation
of construction waste on-site. |
|
|
|
Table Form System |
|
|
|
The aluminum
structure is reused and reusable on site and other sites, and the plywood is
used for approximately 20 floors. |
|
|
|
Steel Formwork
System |
|
|
|
The composite
columns are cast with steel formworks which are reusable and recyclable. |
|
|
|
Hardiwall
Partitions |
|
The Hardiwall
solid wall system reduces waste generation on-site as no wet trades are
involved. It reduces structural design requirements due to lighter weight wall
construction, and increases floor space due to thinner walls. Also, it is up to
3 times faster to install than masonry walls. |
