As the global construction industry increasingly focuses on sustainability and environmental protection, green building technologies continue to make breakthroughs. GETO, as a leading provider of formwork and prefabricated construction technologies, has played a key role in advancing the construction industry with deep expertise in green building.
The Future of Green Building: Innovation and Sustainability
Green building is not just an environmental label. It represents a new building philosophy and construction approach. The core idea is to use advanced technologies to reduce resource waste, lower energy consumption, and extend the lifespan of buildings. GETO recognizes this trend and is committed to providing the market with efficient, sustainable, and high-quality building components and systems.
Through a series of green building technologies such as aluminum formwork, climbing systems, fair-faced concrete buildings, and precast concrete components, GETO has been leading the shift in the construction industry from traditional building methods to more efficient and environmentally friendly production models. Let’s dive into how these innovative technologies are driving the development of green buildings.
Aluminum Formwork: A Lightweight, Efficient, and Sustainable Choise
In concrete structure construction, the quality and reusability of formwork play a crucial role in cost, construction progress, and environmental impact. GETO aluminum formwork system was developed in response to this need. Compared to traditional wooden formwork, aluminum formwork is stronger and has a longer lifespan, with each formwork being reusable hundreds of times, obviously reducing material waste.
In addition to its environmental advantages, aluminum formwork offers high construction precision and stability, ensuring smooth and accurate surfaces for concrete structures，so it particularly suitable for projects that require high-quality structures and aesthetics, such as commercial buildings, high-end residential complexes, and public buildings.

Climbing System: An Efficient and Safe Solution for High-Rise Buildings
As urbanization accelerates, high-rise buildings have become a hallmark of modern cities. In the construction of large-scale, high-rise buildings, improving construction efficiency and ensuring safety are major challenges for design and construction teams.
GETO’s climbing system provides a solution to these challenges. The system can automatically rise with the height of the building, greatly improving construction efficiency. Traditional scaffolding systems not only require a lot of time for setup and dismantling but also present safety risks. The climbing system solves these issues, ensuring the stability and safety of equipment during construction, even in adverse weather conditions, while maintaining construction progress.
Steel Formwork and steel-framed timber formwork: A Diverse Range of Formwork Options
GETO Steel formwork and GETO steel-framed timber formwork are two technologies widely used in construction. Steel formwork has exceptional load-bearing capacity and durability, making it ideal for large-volume concrete pouring. Compared to traditional wooden formwork, steel formwork offers superior precision and stability, effectively preventing uneven concrete quality and surface irregularities during construction.
For situations requiring flexibility and more complex designs, GETO also offers steel-framed timber formwork. This formwork system combines the strength of steel frames with the flexibility of wood formwork, making it suitable for various building forms, particularly for concrete structures that require high surface quality, ensuring both construction quality and improved production efficiency.
Fair-faced Concrete Buildings: Merging Aesthetics with Functionality
In recent years, fair-faced concrete has grown increasingly popular for its combination of functional performance and distinctive aesthetics. By continuously advancing construction techniques, GETO has refined the use of exposed concrete, allowing its natural texture and sheen to be showcased without the need for surface treatments. Compared with conventional decorative materials, fair-faced concrete not only elevates architectural appeal but also reduces material consumption and shortens construction timelines.
This construction method is particularly well-suited for modern architectural projects—such as cultural centers, museums, and art galleries—where it offers high artistic value while supporting energy efficiency and sustainable building practices.
Precast Concrete Components: An Efficient Solution for the Future
In the fast-paced process of urbanization, the construction cycle of a building often determines the success or failure of a project. GETO’s precast concrete component technology offers a solution to this challenge. By pre-manufacturing concrete walls, slabs, columns, and other components in factories, these components can be quickly assembled at the construction site, significantly shortening the construction cycle and improving construction quality.
This technology not only allows for precise management during the building process but also reduces noise and waste emissions at the construction site, meeting the environmental requirements of green building. Particularly in large-scale projects such as residential complexes and commercial mixed-use developments, the use of prefabricated concrete components demonstrates significant economic and time benefits.
PPVC/MIC Precast Housing Molds: Innovation in Modular Construction
As global housing demand continues to grow, PPVC (Pre-fabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction) and MIC (Modular Integrated Construction) technologies have become important solutions for rapid construction in the construction industry. These technologies allow for the prefabrication of complete modular units in factories, which are then transported to the construction site for assembly and installation. Compared to traditional construction methods, PPVC and MIC greatly reduce construction time and improve standardization and quality control.
By introducing these modular building technologies, GETO not only provides an economical and efficient solution for residential construction but also advances the construction industry towards the green transformation. Especially in rapid construction projects, the application of PPVC and MIC molds offers an environmentally friendly and efficient new model for building.
Prefabricated Steel Structures: A Solid Foundation for the Future
Prefabricated steel structures are becoming increasingly popular in modern buildings, especially in structures requiring large-span spaces and high seismic resistance. GETO’s prefabricated steel structure technology improves construction efficiency by manufacturing components in factories and quickly assembling them on-site, significantly reducing the construction cycle and minimizing waste generated during the process.
Whether in factories, warehouses, or special requirement buildings, prefabricated steel structures offer tremendous advantages. Through precise design and rigorous manufacturing processes, prefabricated steel structures not only improve building safety but also reduce uncertainties associated with traditional construction methods, contributing to the sustainable development of the construction industry.
Conclusion: Driving the Future of Green Building
Through technological innovation, GETO has not only improved the efficiency and quality of construction but also provided strong technical support for the development of green buildings.
