    ADVANTAGES

    ¾ Light in weight and easy to handle,

    ¾ Easy to assemble
    assemble, Safety in built in the system

    ¾ Semi skilled labour force is enough,

    ¾ It Gives good labour productivity- 6 to8 Sqm / M day,

    ¾ Components
    p are durable and can be used several times without
    sacrificing the quality or correctness of dimensions and surface.

    ¾ More seismic resistance - Box type construction

    ¾ Lesser number of joints thereby reducing the leakages and


    enhancing the durability of the structure.
    ¾Higher carpet area- Due to shear walls the walls are thin thus
    increasing the catering area.
    ¾Negligible maintenance – Strong built up of concrete needs no
    maintenance.
    ¾Simplified foundation design due to consistent load distribution.
    distribution
    ¾The natural density of concrete wall result in better sound transmission
    coefficient.

    ¾Speedy in construction, Gives required accuracy
    ¾Yields Monolithic construction , No plastering
    ¾Simple interlocking system,
    ¾Accommodates Architectural features,
    ¾ Gives good surface and smooth quality finish.

    ¾ The in-situ construction of all walls and partitions reduces the


    requirement for follow

    on wet trades
    trades.

    ¾ “Assembly line production” phase – wise completion in


    desired groups of buildings - early utilization of the buildings.

    Limitations in aluminium formwork
    ¾ High Initial Investment Cost

    ¾ More number of components

    ¾ Prime area of application -- Mass Housing only

    ¾ High repair cost of Aluminium Forms

    ¾ Probability for theft is more

    ¾ Segregation & stacking requires more space

    ¾ Since the materials are project specific , only some panels


    and components shall be used for the other projects.
