Introduction

• This system is categorised as an IBS because the process


of construction is carried out using a systematic and
mechanised method, that is, by using reusable formwork
panels

• Consequently, cast in-situ concrete construction can be


industrialised or “ manufactured ” on-site using the
mechanised system

• The system allows the rapid on-site placement of cast in-


situ concrete to form beams, columns, slabs and walls

• Currently, the system has rapidly gained acceptance in


many towns and cities by both big and small contractors,
due to the many advantages.

Application

• The system is suitable for buildings that can function with less flexibility during
their service life.

• In other words, these buildings are able to function without a need for major
modifications or renovations in the near future.

• Previously, the system is associated with the mass construction of low-cost houses,
flats or apartments.

• However, currently, this method has gained the increasing acceptance of architects
and engineers and is widely used to build prestigious luxurious high-rise
apartments and hotels.

Reusable Formwork System

• Reusable formwork systems is one of the systems that integrate well with the
concept of modern methods of construction in delivering faster and more
efficient construction process.

• In Malaysia, the steel formwork system is better preferred for the construction
of walls instead of beams and columns due to the many repetitions of similar
wall components in wall frame/load-bearing wall buildings.

• In this case, greater economy can be achieved by utilising the standardisation
and modularisation of the wall system.

• Steel formwork components are normally available in standard panel sizes.

• These panels are stiffened by using built-in stiffeners of tie rods to resist lateral
concrete pressure during concreting.

• Two popular types of formworks:-


− Wall Formwork
− Tunnel Formwork

Wall Formwork

• The concreting of walls


has to be carried out first.

• After the wall concrete has


hardened, the concreting
of slabs can then be
carried out.

formworks to form a ‘ L ’ shape
component.

Tunnel Formwork

• Walls and slabs can be


casted simultaneously

Aluminium Formwork System

• Flexible, lightweight and suits all


building types without the need to rely
on heavy cranes and other heavy
construction plant and equipment

• The equipment will then be dismantled


Extruded aluminium alloy and rolled
and used repetitively for about 300 aluminium sheets
times

• Can be constructed a building at the rate


of 4 to 5 days per floor as compared to
10 to 15 days per floor for conventional
system.

Panel connecting pin is used for connecting all
panel and accessories.

The walkway bracket provides a safe


working platform and can be
positioned at various height.

The whaler corner clamp is used to secure the


corner positioning of the whaler.

The props provide stability to the formwork.

The connection of panels is using the


panel connecting pins. Insert the pin
and twist to lock.

The panels are connected using the panel


connecting pins.

allocated at least 1800mm apart

Advantages

• Involves simple operations with a minimum number of workers and, eventually the
construction of concrete buildings become more efficient
• Manual labour works can be reduced.
• Duration of construction can be reduced.
• Suitable for both low-rise and high-rise construction.
• The monolithic construction obtained from this system also allows for better
integrity and robustness of the building.
• Provides good accuracy for the cast in-situ components.
• A smooth internal finish that eliminate the need for plastering.
• Lower cost.
• Simplicity in equipment.
