Aluminum formwork systems have seen broad use in construction due to their benefits over traditional timber and steel formwork. An aluminum system gives builders a functional solution, delivering precision, speed, safety, and sustainability on projects big and small. It enables fast, efficient building of walls, columns, and slabs through lightweight yet sturdy aluminum panels. This pioneering aluminium formwork system technology has massively boosted construction productivity globally.
There are two primary aluminium formwork system types used in building construction. Each caters to different project requirements by fulfilling the structural and functional needs of a wide variety of construction projects. The types include:
This formwork system features internal connectors and flat ties to fix formwork panels together. It requires less accessories for assembly and provides higher precision. Without tie-rod holes, it achieves a smoother concrete surface finish.
With external connectors and tie rods passing through the panels, the tie-rod aluminium formwork system delivers high strength and stability essential for renovation projects or structures with a wall thickness of over 400mm. Its versatility enables formwork refurbishment and repeated usage on multiple floors of high-rise buildings.
Panels, connectors, and bracing elements are the core component categories of an aluminium formwork system. These components work together to enable smooth construction.
Panels act as the main load-bearing parts and come in various types to serve different purposes. Wall panels are the most commonly used and contain tie rod holes for the construction of walls. Wall top panels are utilized for the tops of walls. Column panels form the molds for column construction. Crane-way panels provide paths for cranes to travel on during high-rise building works.
Connectors play a vital joining role. External joint connectors fix panels on the outside of structures. Internal joint connectors are used between adjacent panels from inside. Beam corner joints connect wall and beam panels at angled positions. The sturdy designs of these connectors guarantee panels are firmly interlocked and free of gaps or misalignment.
Temporary bracing elements provide crucial stability to support beams, roofs, and more during construction. Kicker braces support the base of beams. Soffit braces are attached to slab undersides. Semi-circular rocker braces resist uneven loading on curved structures. The adjustable bracing connections conform to irregular profiles and deliver maximum safety even under high load conditions.

Formwork systems play a pivotal role in the construction industry as they are used to mold cast-in-place concrete into desired shapes. There are different types of systems available depending on the material used – the two primary ones being timber formwork and aluminum formwork systems. Both these types are lightweight compared to traditional steel formwork, which makes them easy to transport and install on construction sites. However, their properties are quite different, making one suitable over the other for specific applications or project requirements.
Before choosing between aluminum and timber formwork, it is important to do a comparative analysis of both so you can understand their unique features and suitability for different construction needs. The following aspects highlight their difference:
1. Weight
Both aluminum and timber formwork systems are lightweight. However, aluminum formwork can be slightly heavier. Still, they are easy to handle and transport compared to steel formworks.
2. Durability
Aluminum formwork systems are much more durable than timber ones. Timber formwork is susceptible to termites, rot, and other deterioration over time due to exposure to weather elements. Aluminum formwork, on the other hand, can withstand challenging site conditions and last longer with proper maintenance.
3. Efficiency
The assembly and dismantling of aluminum formwork are faster than timber formwork due to its interlocking panel system. This enhances productivity and efficiency on construction sites. Timber formwork requires more labor and time for assembly and stripping work.
4. Cost-Effectiveness
For small to medium-scale projects, timber formwork is generally a cheaper option than aluminum. However, for large projects involving repetitive concrete work, an aluminum formwork system proves to be more cost-effective. This is because the initial high cost of aluminum formwork is compensated by its reusability and efficiency.
5. Flexibility
Both materials allow for flexibility in design. Timber formwork can be customized according to specific project requirements by cutting them on-site. Aluminum formwork comes in standard sizes but can still be adapted across different projects with proper modifications and renovation.
6. Concrete Surface
Aluminum formwork provides a very smooth concrete surface due to its non-absorbent panels. Timber may leave intricate grain textures or irregularities on concrete.
7. Reusability
Aluminum formwork can be reused multiple times with proper repairs and maintenance. Timber formwork, on the other hand, has low reusability because of its short lifespan and deterioration over time.
For small projects with short durations, both timber and aluminum formwork systems prove to be suitable choices. Timber formwork is cost-effective due to its relatively lower initial investment, while aluminum formwork also offers cost savings since it can be bought back or recycled.
For projects that span over longer construction timelines, such as complex commercial buildings, hospitals, or highways, aluminum formwork out-beats timber. It offers the durability required over an extended period. Similarly, multi-tower residential or mixed-use developments harness the reusability of aluminum formwork to pour repetitive structural elements efficiently. Because of their longevity even in changing site conditions, aluminum formwork systems are particularly suitable for projects that involve phases carried out over multiple seasons.
GETO is a leading and experienced formwork company that specializes in providing aluminum formwork solutions. Headquartered in Guangdong, China, we have 12 domestic and international production bases with an impressive combined annual manufacturing capacity. We offer a wide range of formwork systems, climbing platforms, and precast concrete components.

The QR code scanner has been implemented in GETO China for many years, and recently introduced into GETO Malaysia in February 2023.
The function of the code scanner can increase the speed of customers returning panels, which also greatly improves the efficiency of labor services. Compared with the previous traditional method which is one-by-one counting of panels, it is indeed much faster. This also greatly reduces the error rate when counting panels. In addition, the paperless formwork management method is more in line with the green construction concept.
Every single panels no matter big or small produce by GETO will comes together with the QR code. The QR code will stick on the surface of panels, labor just need to scan the QR code with the scanning code gun, The data will automatically enter into the data base.
For the GETO construction project Serenia City, located at Sepang, we have adopted the QR code scanner in managing the materials. The Customer delivers the panels from the site back to our factory. Before returning to the factory, GETO assigns a supervisor to do the packing stuff. The supervisor scans the QR code that pasted on the panel with the GETO code scanner. Workers will pack the panels accordingly after the supervisor scans the panels.
This technology will greatly improve the work efficiency and effectiveness of managing construction materials. In contrast, some other suppliers still use the traditional method of remarking one by one with pen and paper, which requires more manpower and is less efficient. This technolgy shows that GETO put much effort into research and development. We provide excellent service to customers and make both of the parties work easier with our technology development.
