- Introduction
- Tunnel formwork | tunnel forms | tunnel construction | formwork
formwork system has been supplying its
comprehensive tunnel formwork construction system, of which the
formwork is merely a
constituent of this technology, for the past 23 years. As a result, we
do not simply supply modular plastic formwork, but a holistic formwork building
technology, that has been specifically designed and is proven too
benefit the end user with its simplicity and ease of use.
formwork has
developed a tunnel formwork
system to construct and form durable structures of quality in the shortest
possible time.
moladi
tunnel formwork system has developed into a construction technology that addresses
seven key challenges embodied in the tunnel formwork applications for low cost and affordable housing
shortages facing developing countries namely:
- lack of resources
- insufficient funds
- skills shortage
- time constraint
- work flow control
- time constraints
- waste
The
patented tunnel formwork technology is cost effective
due to its repetitive application. It is affordable due to the fact that
the formwork is used on a
repetitive basis for up to 50 reuses per kit; this results in the cost
of the formwork being amortized over the form construction of 50 units.

Over and above these
advantages,
tunnel formwork is:
- a recipient of the
South African Bureau of Standards Design for Development Award and
aims at providing millions of people around the world to obtain
equity in their country by providing them with homes that are of a
high standard and at a reduced cost.
- is a unique
patented plastic injection moulded tunnel formwork system, which produces
cast-in-place mortar structures.
- a fast, simple,
adaptable tunnel formwork building system.
- Tunnel Formwork
suitable for all
types of buildings, yet it is highly suited for use in mass housing
markets, without compromising quality.
- utilizes
indigenous materials to produce high standard permanent structures
that are earthquake, cyclone and tsunami resistant.
- formwork system is unique in that the
tunnel formwork all the walls in a building simultaneously. At the same time,
it brings to field construction all the benefits of a factory
assembly line - quality work, by unskilled workers at a maximum rate
of production.
- Tunnel Formwork
versatile and
allows for easy adaptation to varied design specifications, whether
they are schools, homes, clinics or factories whist maintaining
design aesthetics for social acceptability.
- Tunnel Formwork
promotes a high
standard in the tunnel formwork construction industry.
- Tunnel Formwork
successful in
alleviating many of the logistical problems facing the construction
of affordable repetitive housing projects.
- form creates a high
production output capacity.
- facilitates the
possibility for many in situ structures to be built in just one day.
- Tunnel Form
amortized over
many re-uses, reducing the cost of construction and transportation
of the tunnel formwork
significantly.
- Tunnel formwork far outweighs
poorly designed and costly concrete-block and masonry structures, as
they often fail to timeously meet the requirements of mass housing
schemes.
- does not rely on
traditional skilled labour and can employ the local indigenous
unskilled community.
