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.

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.

As we all know, transport is of great importance to both social and economic development. In Taiwan, China, new MRT stations are being built for the public’s benefit and convenience. GETO is proud to have been involved in one of these projects supplying construction materials. We supplied aluminium beam formwork, aluminium wall formwork, aluminium deck formwork, and aluminium column formwork, single-side formwork is also included.
When it comes to retaining walls, we usually use large triangular trusses to build them. However, the large triangular trusses are so large and heavy that they must be lifted and moved by crane and cannot be installed by manpower only. A bar implant solution is relatively light but requires more pre-set operations. The client gave us their ideas, wanting to be able to install it manually without using the crane, not a tie rod embedding plan, and to use aluminium formwork for the construction. Our international R&D team finally provided an Aluminium Beam Type Single-Side Wall Framework solution, which not only meets the customer’s requirements for manual operation and less implant as mentioned above but also increases the turnover utilization rate of each component, as aluminium beams and props components can be used in other floors and structures after the retaining walls are done.
Thanks to the joint efforts of the client and us, the formwork was installed with a high degree of completion and the finish was quite satisfactory. The customer has actively provided us with feedback on the use of the product on-site, which has helped us to continue to optimize the product and meet the requirements of the site. In addition, Single-Side Wall Framework can be used for wind energy farm construction.
GETO also provides a Triangular Truss Type Single-Side Wall Framework. Two types of single-side wall formwork each has its advantages with aluminum beam type single-side support formwork.

The BAKER CIRCLE.DOVER project is a 26-story high-rise residential project. Located in Kowloon’s prime location of Hung Hom, “BAKER CIRCLE” spans a total commercial and residential floor area of over 1,000,000 sq. ft.2, standing as a large-scale comprehensive urban redevelopment masterpiece that is rarely seen in the past 30 years. The project uses GETO combined aluminum formwork and precast concrete（PC） components for integrated construction, helping the Hong Kong construction industry to transform and upgrade to industrialization, intelligence, and green.
Linked up with several major roads, this redevelopment incorporated its own brand-new 3-dimensional shopping streets, created with concepts of sustainable environment, world-class architectural and design aesthetics, cutting-edge smart living gadgets, and a wealth of innovative clubhouse facilities. “BAKER CIRCLE”1 is set to redefine the ideal contemporary lifestyle.
The project is equipped with four sets of steel supports (five sets of the cantilever), and the construction speed of the workers on the construction site can reach four days per floor. Compared with traditional formwork, the project construction period is greatly reduced and great value is created for customers.
The average daily wages of construction workers in Hong Kong are extremely high. GETO provides professional guidance on installation services to improve the efficiency of aluminum formwork installation for on-site personnel. It also shortens the construction period, which can significantly reduce the labor cost of workers.
The turnover of aluminum formwork in this project is more than 20 times, and the construction of all standard layers can be completed by using one set of aluminum mold, with a low average cost of use.
The aluminum alloy formwork system with an average weight of 25KG/㎡is simple and convenient to assemble. It is completely assembled by hand and does not require the assistance of any mechanical equipment. Workers usually only need a small hook and a small hammer for construction, which is convenient and fast. Skilled installers can install 20-30 square meters per person per day. Compared with wooden formwork, the advantages of aluminum formwork are more obvious. Aluminum formwork installers only need 70-80% of wooden formwork installers, and there is no need for skilled workers, as long as simple training is given to the construction workers before installation.
After the aluminium formwork system is assembled, it forms a whole framework with good stability. With the reasonable arrangement of load-bearing pillars, the bearing capacity can reach 30KN per square meter.
After concrete casting and removing the formwork, the surface of the concrete is smooth and clean, which can meet the requirements of finishing and fair-faced concrete without plastering and can save plastering costs.
The aluminum mold uses renewable materials, which can effectively help energy conservation and emission reduction. It is a green building material. At the same time, the project’s prefabricated laminate panelsand prefabricated stairs reduce the generation of construction waste on the site.
The project also used the GETO Shaft Platform and successfully helped solve the pain points of the customer and improve construction efficiency. The lifting shaft platform system can be lifted layer by layer through a tower crane. The whole system can be reset by contraction and expansion, which makes the construction of the lift shaft holistic and mechanistic.

GETO Malaysia participated in a significant landmark project in the middle of Genting Highland, wellknown summer retreat in Malaysia. It is IBN Highlands City – A billion-dollar project developed by IBN Corp Ltd. GETO empowers the construction industry around the world with high aluminium formwork productivity.
IBN Highlands City is a mixed development project (serviced apartment and hotel), which was designed based on the imaginative visuals of several pieces of flower petals placed in the midst of clouds of the cooling highland. The project has a total built-up area of 8,400,000 sq ft.
Within the 4978.52 ㎡ aluminium formwork construction area the project consumes in total, GETO Malaysia supplied 2166.83 ㎡ of the aluminium formwork system. In the system, GETO Malaysia supplied 400 ㎡ systems, which are round edges and arc-shaped columns. The special design of IBN Highlands City that is largely different from common typical structures creates challenges for the construction and precise design of formwork in aluminium factory for the project.
With GETO’s intelligent formwork software, BIM Modulation Design in place, special structures are no longer a real challenge since every structure in the AutoCAD drawing of IBN Highlands City can be quickly checked in place at one time. This patented software of GETO Group can automatically identify walls, beams, slabs, and other structures with 100% precision attained.
In addition, GETO’s intelligent BIM Modulation Design Software can facilitate the client to achieve an ideal state in maximizing the reusability of the client’s existing aluminium panel in adoption together with the GETO aluminium formwork system.
Upon the delivery of the aluminium formwork system to the site, GETO site supervisors stayed with the project for at least one month. They are committed instruct the workers on site to appropriately fix the structure system, while quickly responding to any circumstances related to the formwork system on-site. Because of our outstanding construction engineering solutions, we have done a great job with this project.
Besides the use of the standard panels supplied, the curve-shaped structures formed by special-shaped aluminium formwork systems are in good casting effect as well. This helps the contractor to save up time for crafting the special-shaped by crafting timber formwork on-site, which brings the result of cost-saving in hiring increasingly costing labour in carpeting. Also not forget to highlight, the high durability of the GETO Aluminium Formwork System guarantees the consistency of the casting quality of the project across numerous floors it is being reused.

One of GETO’s customers has studied special building structures to protest against earthquakes. Their company mission is to provide solutions to save lives and deliver affordable housing in earthquake-prone areas. Finally, the local government highly appreciated and recognized their building solution, which adopted the GETO Precast Concrete.
Seismic isolated fundamental work on the same principle as a“tilted doll”. Unlike other seismic isolation system, it doesn’t require any regular maintenance. GETO Precast Mould System helps clients save a lot of money for later maintenance.
The clients provide the architectural plan, elevation plan and section only, there is no structural plan, because it’s beamless structure. However, they require us to provide aluminium forms for the column parts. it’s not the same as normal square columns. The difference is that we need to reserve several holes for steel rebar and those holes should be open precisely, here let me share some attached photos from GETO precast factory. Our customer calls it as “PBS” column.
This precast formwork system has two main components that can be used independently. The factory produced precast columns and precast slabs are combined and welded on site. No beams are required that reduces building weight, cost and time of construction.

In Taiwan, China, the government is planning new MRT stations, of which the Sanying MRT station is under construction. GETO has proudly supplied aluminium formwork system for wall, beam, deck, column etc, including inclined columns.
The dimensions of the largest inclined column on site are as follow:
Length of column base section: 2300mm
Width of column base section: 2300mm
Vertical height of column: 14253mm
Length of beveled side of column: 15222mm
Angle: 69.45°
MRT are closely related to people’s lives and being able to build MRT stations with aluminium formwork is an important step forward in GETO’s involvement in public construction projects in Taiwan.
In this project, due to the special structure, it is necessary to adopt large leaning columns, which are more difficult for our aluminium formwork design, but we did it perfectly.
Large leaning columns mean that stronger support and reinforcement systems, more accurate design and production, and strict site management are required – all three of which are essential.
① GETO solves it with tie rod system， which ensures the security and efficiency of the project. GETO formwork class products can be applied to different project types and high turnover of formwork between different structure types and typical floors can be achieved.
② GETO uses self-developed software of modulation, such as BIM, Auto CAD and 3D Modulation Software to offer the clients. These technologies provide technical support for the customer’s project, promoting it to be successful.
