What is Tunnel Formwork System？

Tunnel formwork mainly consists of formwork system, supporting system and connecting system, with lifting platform (opening platform, stairwell platform, elevator shaft platform) and external wall operation platform as auxiliary system. At present, GETO provides two kinds of tunnel formwork systems for your choice.

Aluminium Tunnel Formwork Technology

Difference of the structure:The main body is an integrated aluminium formwork.

Steel Tunnel Formwork

Difference of the structure:The main body is a monolithic steel formwork.

Advantages Of Tunnel Formwork

Aluminium Tunnel Formwork

1. Fast overall installation speed.

2. High standardization, and high material reuse rate, with wide range of application area.

3. Flexible assembly and disassembly, simple process, reduced labor input, relatively low cost, and high safety performance.

4. High scrap value of aluminium material.

5. Lower deadweight and smaller crane specification requirements.

6. Seamless integration with the quick deck concept, high turnover rates.

Steel Tunnel Formwork

1. Simple formwork erection process, low labor force.

2. Tightly spliced, not easy to deform

3. Good integrity of formwork, strong seismic resistance,

4. Good insulation performance, conducive to winter concrete insulation.

5. Large formwork dismantling with the high level of mechanization.

FAQ

What is a Tunnel Formwork System?

A Tunnel Formwork System is an integrated construction formwork solution designed for the rapid construction of reinforced concrete structures. It combines wall and slab formwork into a single system, allowing walls and floors to be cast simultaneously and improving construction efficiency.

What are the main applications of Tunnel Formwork System?

Tunnel Formwork System is widely used in high-rise residential buildings, hotels, apartments, student housing, and other repetitive concrete construction projects. It is especially suitable for projects requiring fast construction cycles and consistent structural quality.

How does a Tunnel Formwork System work?

The system uses modular formwork units to create a complete concrete casting space for walls and slabs. After reinforcement installation and concrete pouring, the formwork can be removed and reused for the next construction cycle, enabling efficient floor-by-floor construction.

What are the advantages of using Tunnel Formwork System?

Tunnel Formwork System offers advantages such as faster construction speed, improved concrete quality, reduced labor requirements, and high reusability. By integrating wall and slab casting, it helps optimize construction processes and shorten project schedules.

What is the difference between Tunnel Formwork System and traditional formwork?

Compared with traditional formwork methods, Tunnel Formwork System integrates wall and slab formwork into one construction solution. It reduces repetitive manual work, improves construction speed, and provides more consistent concrete finishing quality.
