To further expand the scope of support for clean winter heating in Northern China and continuously promote green development, some Chinese national departments and administration jointly issued the Notice on Organizing the Application of Clean Winter Heating Projects in Northern China recently. We started to apply for subsidies for clean heating in cities in northern China except those that were included in the central government’s pilot program for winter clean heating from 2017 to 2019.
There are two application forms of the combination of solar energy and building energy saving, one is BIPV (Building-Integrated Photovoltaics) and another is BIST (Building-Integrated Solar Thermal).
According to a chairman of a Chinese technology company, BIST is the roofing system or metope system made up of light and heat components. By absorbing solar radiant heat, it is used for domestic hot water supply and winter building heating. It can also become an important direction of existing building transformation in our country.
Currently, GETO not only sells aluminium form, self climbing platform and scaffolding platform, but has photovoltaic support products on sale as well. It will be connected simply with the building, which promotes the large-scale application of “solar energy+buildings” to promote rural revitalization and the construction of beautiful villages.
From the development trend of the whole industry, both internal and external factors are very supportive of the deep combination of the construction field and the utilization of solar energy. In the near future, Building-Integrated Photovoltaics and Building-Integrated Solar Thermal is the vital way.

For a long time, China’s construction industry has huge production capacity, but the internationalization rate of construction enterprises is low. In the context of the globalization of the world economy and the integration of international production, enterprises can only reduce costs and increase efficiency by deploying their production resources in the world through international operations. Many internationally renowned engineering giants have been able to survive and develop in the competitive market for a long time as they have their core competitiveness. Meanwhile, the practice of most successful international engineering contractors shows that their core competitiveness mainly comes from their ability in business integration and multinational operation based on years of experience in international projects.
From the perspective of the domestic construction industry, China has entered the middle and late stages of faster development of urbanization. The number of new projects such as housing construction is shrinking, industry structure and business model are facing transformation and upgrading, and the development model is constantly shifting to high-quality development. For the majority of construction enterprises, the international market is inevitable in promoting the development and growth of enterprises.
From the “Belt and Road” initiative to the end of July 2022, 149 countries and 32 international organizations around the world have signed more than 200 cooperation documents with China on the “Belt and Road”, and contracted more than 3,000 projects with an investment scale of nearly $1 trillion. These projects ranged from dams and bridges to ports and railroads, which brought about the upgrading of infrastructure in countries along the route and new development opportunities for Chinese construction companies and construction materials suppliers.
GETO, as one of China’s aluminum formwork suppliers, keenly realized the importance of internationalization, so it vigorously developed the overseas market and set up subsidiaries in Singapore and Malaysia. To seize the business opportunities in overseas markets as soon as possible, GETO seized the opportunity of the wave of infrastructure construction in the “Belt and Road” countries to provide aluminum formwork for the construction of infrastructure.

GETO Hydraulic self-climbing formwork is the optimal solution for the cores of super high-rise buildings (over 150 meters), including both concrete core walls and frame structure cores, as well as for shear walls.
It is made up of formwork panels, a climbing mechanism, a working platform, hydraulic jacks, and a power unit. The formwork panels are used to create the shape of the concrete structure, and the climbing mechanism, which is powered by hydraulic jacks and a power unit, allows the formwork to be raised or lowered vertically as the structure is being built. The formwork panels are typically made from materials such as wood, steel, or aluminum. The hydraulic system is powered by a motor and uses hydraulic cylinders to move the formwork up and down the structure.
As the formwork system climbs up the building, the workers install new formwork on the next level and pour concrete into the formwork. Once the concrete has hardened, the formwork is removed and the process begins again. The hydraulic system ensures that the formwork system remains stable and level as it climbs, which helps to ensure the quality and safety of the construction process. The working platform provides a safe and secure area for workers to carry out their tasks at high elevations, which can reduce the risk of accidents and injuries on the job site.
The system’s obvious advantages have been verified in plenty of projects both at home and abroad:
Not only in super high-rise buildings, but GETO hydraulic self-climbing formwork system is also widely used in the construction of bridges, dams, and other large infrastructure projects.
More specifically, GETO hydraulic self-climbing formwork is suitable for projects that require a fast and efficient construction process, as the system is designed to be quickly erected, dismantled, and moved to the next location. This makes it an excellent choice for projects with tight construction schedules, where time and labor costs are critical factors.

As a result of dedicated research and development, the latest panel design of GETO – UT600 has its durability greatly improved from its previous version (U600). The tensile strength of the UT600 panel is equal to or more than 260Pa, while the bearing capacity is 60kN. The maximum deformation rate of using the GETO aluminium formwork system has been reduced by 15%, from 2.568mm max (U600) to 2.193mm max (UT600). As the outstanding China aluminum formwork factory, GETO devotes itself to technology innovation.
This indicates that the bulging possibility of the aluminium panel upon the completion of casting is lower, resulting in higher reusability of the aluminium formwork system on the sites. Contractors and project managers understand well that successful deformation rate control will contribute to significant project cost savings and reduction in on-site labour intensity. With a smaller deformation rate guaranteed, the verticality and horizontality of the casting results for time being is close to perfection, forming s right-angled and non-defective structure.
Meanwhile, horizontal structure bonds are attached to a pair of vertical structure bonds of every aluminium formwork panel by overhead welding. This welding technology is chosen to further strengthen the GETO formwork systems, as the welded area will be minimized and consequently creating less aluminium panel area to be affected by heat impact caused in case surface welding technique is adopted. This technology is tremendously significant for the production of aluminium formwork systems since welded area affected by the heat impact will result in the reduction of panel strength by half (if compared to the unprocessed formwork system). With overhead welding in place, lesser time is the cost for the welding stage in panel processing, contributing to lesser labour intensity in production, and lower processing cost.
Friction stir welding is a solid-state joining process that uses a non-consumable tool to join two facing workpieces without melting the workpiece material. Its reliability and efficiency have been more and more widely acknowledged in a variety of industries. GETO is the first Chinese aluminium formwork manufacturer that applies such innovative technology in aluminum formwork production.
With friction stir welding to produce welds with very uniform mechanical properties but minimum distortion, GETO, providing a reusable aluminum formwork system, is so proud to provide customers with aluminium formwork of high durability and nice performance.
The mindful design and production technology of GETO aforementioned can deliver cost advantage to honorable clients, creating guaranteed high-quality and cost-controlled China system aluminium products.

This is the first formwork re-utilization project in Taiwan, China, which means most of the formwork are re-used from previous projects, with only a small portion to be provided additionally.
Such projects require substantial collaboration with customers, high accuracy in formwork re-design, and foresight of possible difficulties and counter plans. Limited time makes it even more challenging.
With close collaboration between both parties and construction work nicely orchestrated by our customer, the project is progressing well on schedule with quality outcome.
However, the consideration of formwork reuse does not merely start from the beginning of this project. Instead, it starts at the very beginning of the time. At the very beginning of the first project, the GETO design team communicates with the customer in detail about floor height, and structural features, also with an eye on all other projects in the customer’s project pipeline. This is to determine a versatile principle of formwork modulation for those projects, with a certain standardization rate that is mutually agreed upon. In the case of this customer, the standardization rate is set at more than 80%.
When the project is finished, the used formwork and aluminum formwork accessories are properly cleaned and stocked following GETO relevant guideline.
When it comes to a new project, in which the formwork is to be re-used, a detailed formwork list and zone-wise packing instructions will be given. It clearly tells what panels and aluminium formwork accessories shall be re-utilized, and specifies they are to be used in which room/zone. In this way, site workers don’t have to spend extra time searching for the right formwork piece. This is how a smooth and well-organized re-utilization of aluminum formwork can take place.
At GETO, we care more about how our customers could make the right investment, not only through providing reliable and quality products; but also by helping them activate their formwork stock to achieve the best value in utilization in the long term. GETO prides ourselves on our positioning as a trusted partner instead of a formwork vendor.

Precast concrete staircases are made by casting concrete in a mold and then curing it in a controlled environment. This allows the staircase to be created off-site and then transported and installed on the construction site. Precast concrete staircases are commonly used in commercial and industrial construction.
To create a precast concrete staircase, the first step is to design the staircase and create a mold. The mold is typically made of wood or metal and is used to shape the concrete into the desired shape. The mold is then filled with wet concrete and allowed to cure in a controlled environment, typically at a precast concrete facility. Once the concrete has cured, the mold is removed and the staircase is ready to be transported to the construction site.
Precast concrete staircases have several benefits:
Overall, precast concrete staircases are a good choice for commercial and industrial construction projects because of their durability, strength, and cost-effectiveness.
