Formwork
Formwork is the key to successful an economic concrete construction. It has a dominant influence on the appearance and accuracy of finished concrete which in turn affects the ease with which the following trades can complete their work.


The types of formwork: - Wall- system-column- High quality column formwork forms concrete
Columns in next to no time: quickly folded for
Forming, and simply unfolded to strike, the
Formwork results in ultra-short cycle times. This Formwork can be moved in one piece with just one single crane movement. When collapsed, the panels can be easily transported and stored
-wall-simple to stack, flexible height and length
adaptability
- Floor-system
- Self-Climbing-platform (SCP)-combination of wall and floor system,
-ideal for tall, slender structure and where ever large rises need to built on confined, cramped sites. The entire unit is lifted hydraulically in one piece.

Example of using the new formwork system
Making a modern landmark
Currently rising beside the Danube on Vienna’s “Handelskai”, the Millennium Tower will be(now is) Austria’s tallest building when it tops out at its planned height of 202 m. The 50- storey office tower is made in new self-climbing system.

Carcass
The carcass is conventional reinforced concrete skeleton construction. The structural floors are 25 cm thick fair- faced flat floor slabs. The walls of the buiding core are made of standard B55-grade concrete. Various different construction methods are used for the building columns.In the entrance lobby, the columns are 8 m tall and 75 cm thick and are made of high strength B95 grade concrete, while on the floors above, the columns are 55 cm thick ant take the form either of steel composite columns or of high strength concrete columns depending on the loads encountered. Allowance had to be made here for the different types of column. After the complicated layouts of the basement storeys had been completed, the glass giant started to rise at the rate one storey of the week.
This unusual construction project called for an equally unusual formwork concept to match: the interoperation of Self-climbing platform for the building core, Automatic climbers for the façade, and floor formwork for the floor slabs.
