ADTO Formwork System is the construction tool used to hold freshly placed concrete at its position until it attains enough strength. With the help of formwork system, concrete can be easily manipulated. Various shapes and forms will be constructed under the action of the formwork system.

It is reported that not only does the construction of formworks takes time but also spent about 20 to 25% of the total cost of the structure. It is one of the major factors that influence the success of construction of any structure in terms of safety, cost, quality, and speed.

ADTO Formwork System is not a permanent construction but it requires careful attention and maintenance to avoid damages of permanent construction. The formwork system design and construction are determined by three principles:

1. Safety: It depends on the formwork strength substantially. Life of labors and the public might be in danger if the formwork doesn’t have enough strength.

2. Quality: Concrete shape accuracy and the quality of the final finished surface of the concrete element. This factor will be the essential determination of the service life of the permanent structure.

3. Economy: Formwork is the most critical factor during construction. It is also the most crucial cost component.

There are many different materials used to manufacture formwork. For example, there are Wooden Formwork, Steel Formwork, Aluminum Formwork, and Plastic Formwork. Plastic is the only material that offers the number of advantages compared to other materials such as durability, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility.

It is for these advantages and benefits of plastic formwork that will be discussed in the following sections.

Formwork expends large labor force and total cost of the project that is why efforts have made to introducing a formwork system that is cost effective and can be assembled, dismantled and handled easily by labor.

There are several advantages provided by plastic formwork in concrete construction:

1) Cost effective. Compared to aluminum formwork, plastic formwork is cheaper on the price and not need much more labor forces to handle and erect it.

2) Labor-friendly. ADTO plastic formwork can be handled quickly on site without using cranes or other lifting devices.

3) Eco-friendly. ADTO plastic formwork can be reused more than 100 times with properly used and maintained.

4) Low maintenance and easy to store. ADTO plastic formwork has the advantages of fireproof, waterproof, rustproof.etc, which can be stored in damp and wet conditions.

5) Versatile.
