Precast Concrete Drain Slabs Exporters UAE & SA

  Novaformworks is engaged in the business of designing, detailing, manufacturing, supplying, and erection of Prestressed Precast Concrete building structures of all ranges. They provide turnkey solutions for executing various challenging structures using advanced and proven engineering technologies. The conventional construction involves mobilizing sand, cement, aggregates, bricks, steel, and other materials to the site, mixing of the concrete at site and pouring of concrete at site, usage of huge scaffolding materials at site, curing of construction at site for 30 days, usage of hundreds of skilled and unskilled manpower at site, huge labor camps, disturbance within and around the site in terms of dust, materials, activity, wastage etc., uncertain quality, lack of uniformity in construction, long delays, and resultant cost overruns etc. World-wide and in particular in developed and fast developing countries like South Africa and UAE, Prestressed Precast Concrete Construction i...

Mivan Shuttering: Merits, Demerits, Pricing In India

  Mivan Shuttering India's urban population has been growing at an average 2.1% every year since 2015 and the economically weaker sections and lower-income group’s account for 96% of the urban shortage. However the housing sector has been unable to meet these growing demands at a quick pace. Mivan is an aluminum formwork system which was first manufactured in 1990 by Mivan Company Ltd in Malaysia. It is suitable for constructing a large number of houses at a faster speed as this system of formwork construction provides the structural system in one continuous pour. On the removal of the formwork mold a high quality concrete finish is produced with accurate tolerances and verticality which nullifies the need of further plastering. Mivan Shuttering is probably the most versatile modern construction system to be introduced in Indian markets and unlike others it is equally suited to both high and low rise construction. It is designed to allow rapid construction of multiple uni...

Structural Steel Formwork – The Best Choice for Construction

  There has been a growing popularity of structural steel formwork in the construction industry. The steel formwork is not just easy to fix, it is also available in uniform shape/ size. In all modern-day construction projects, steel column formwork is being used regardless of being expensive. Steel formwork is used for a wide array of projects. The steel shuttering has a very even finish. It is apt for curved and circular structures like chimneys, tanks, sewers, tunnels, columns, and retaining walls. Mentioned below are some key reasons why structural steel formwork is the best choice for construction: 1.    Durability - The biggest reason why people opt for steel formwork is that it is extremely durable. It does not get bent or spoilt easily. It is even earthquake resistance. Due to this key reason, it is hugely used at construction sites these days. Superior strength as well durability are making the steel formwork a preferred choice for all the latest and upcom...

Pros and Cons of MIVAN Aluminium Formwork

  These days there is a huge trend of Aluminium Formwork . It is popularly referred to as Shuttering. This is a unique way of making cast-in-place concrete blocks. It has extensive use in the construction industry. These highly durable and good-quality aluminium formworks have replaced traditional plywood and hardwood formwork.   The hardwood formwork cannot sustain too much pressure. This is the reason why the Aluminium Formwork System has made its way. It is well suited for load-bearing wall construction. Also, aluminium formwork can be reused. This leads to a lot of economies. The Aluminium Formwork System is new.   It does not just make better building quality it also helps save time as well as money.   MIVAN shuttering is an economical variant of traditional ways of shuttering. Bricks and all are done away with and beams, columns, etc are also made with concrete. Mivan shuttering facilitates fast assembling and speedy construction. Mentioned below are the...

Formwork for Concrete Wall manufacturers & suppliers

  The majority of the construction materials lose strength after a few years. Chemicals, water, wear and temperature variation ruins the physical properties of materials slowly from the moment of installation. But this theory does not apply to precast concrete. It can gradually strengthen over time. Unlike other materials, precast does not show any signs of stress, and the material has a life cycle of over 100 years or more.  The load-carrying capacity of precast concrete wall formwork is due to its structure, and it does not come from the surrounding soil. Precast concrete products are ideal for a storm water management system due to their strength and longevity.  Concrete Is Natural and Safe For the Environment Nova Formworks uses non-toxic and natural substances to make quality products. Concrete is a common material that is used across the globe for ground systems. The company is making every effort to optimise its manufacturing products. Nova Formworks also sh...

Explain the difference between slab and beam?

  Both slab and beam hold a lot of significance in construction work. The prime objective of a slab is to build flat surfaces like floors and ceilings in buildings. There are so many different types of concrete slabs used in construction like the precast slab, hollow core slab, flat slab, one-way joist slab, flat plate, slabs on grade, hardy slab, and composite slab. You cannot make a building without slabs and beams so both are equally important in the construction industry. Process of Slab Construction The concrete slabs are usually made off-site. They are after that put into place where they are needed by making use of concrete formwork. In case any reinforcement is required, they can be pre-stressed. For making the concrete slab a lot of preparation work with reference to formwork is needed. Then there is compaction of the slab. After that, the reinforcement is placed. The concrete is then put in the formwork an...

What is Slab, Beam, Column, and Construction?

  Structural engineers make much consideration when turning structural design into reality. One of the important things to consider is the stability upon which the whole structure is dependent. Stability is a determining factor of how long the building will stay safe. Columns, slabs and beam play an important role in withstanding the weight of the building. The slab is an essential structural element designed to create important surfaces, including roofs, floors, and ceilings. It has a top and bottom portion with horizontal structural components. It is mainly used for providing support to the columns and beams.   Beams Beams are defined as horizontal rods which help to carry loads of the building. The beams are made in such a way that helps to withstand the load of building ceilings, floors, and roofs. To support the combined weight of stacked walls and transfer the support load, larger and heavy beams are sometimes applied. As discussed below, beams are used to withst...
