Monolithic Concrete Construction using Tunnel Formwork

The technology uses concrete walls and slabs
cast in one go at site giving monolithic
structure using 'Tunnel Form' and then
concreting is done to form a room size
module.

Tunnel Formwork in Steel

Sustainability– rapid construction of multiple modular units, durable, low maintenance, precise
finishing, no plaster, resource optimization, economical, concrete design to use industrial by-
products, good structural stability (against earthquakes, cyclones, other hazards).

Precast Concrete Construction System

Factory made Precast concrete members Installation & assembly of precast members on site

The technology uses the individual precast components such as walls, slabs, stairs, columns, beams,
manufactured in plant or casting yard in controlled conditions. The finished components are then
transported to the site, erected, installed, and assembled. The jointing of components is done in situ.
Sustainability – Reduced construction time, resource optimization, improved quality, precision &
finish, no plaster, concrete design using industrial by-products, clean site, less air pollution (dust-
free environment), and optimum water use, shu ering & scaffolding materials is minimal, all-
weather construction, good site organization.
