Construction Technology - PVC Stay In Place Formwork System

Factory made PVC Stay in Place finished Composite structure using Pre- Engineered
formwork for concrete walls Steel Structural System and PVC Formwork System
The plant manufactured rigid poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) based polymer components that serve as a
permanent stay-in-place finished formwork for concrete walls. The formwork System being used
acts as pre-finished walls requiring no plaster and can be constructed instantly. For this LHP, a
composite structure with a Pre-Engineered Steel Structural System as structural members is used.
Sustainability – fast construction because the formwork itself is part of the system, in the case of
concrete as filling material - the curing requirement of concrete is significantly reduced, the
formwork system does not have plastering requirement and looks aesthetically appealing.
