|
| 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. |
