In the field of construction, formwork is indispensable in shaping and supporting concrete to add significant structural strength. However, modern formwork construction systems aren’t limited to traditional wood or steel. As building practices are transforming rapidly in India, there is an emergence of innovative, cutting-edge solutions: plastic formwork systems.
NOVA Formworks is the pioneer in manufacturing modular plastic formworks in India, shaping the future of construction beyond just concrete.
Did you know that construction works continue to remain a major contributor to global waste? This is why NOVA plastic formwork is built on sustainable technologies, dramatically minimising the environmental footprint of your construction project. The manufacturing of plastic formwork involves less energy than traditional materials such as timber or steel. Additionally, it is 100% recyclable, offering noteworthy environmental benefits.
Let’s be honest – waste generation in construction sites has been quite substantial when using traditional technologies. However, plastic formwork systems help reduce waste significantly. The need for polishing the concrete has almost zeroed with plastic forms. Additionally, they do not need extensive cleaning or scraping once the concrete is removed. This has significantly reduced the generation of waste on-site.
NOVA plastic formwork requires minimal cleaning and does not degrade for several years. This means you can reduce water usage in your construction site and spend less time on maintenance. Better water conservation also means reduced environmental impact.
As mentioned earlier, manufacturing plastic formwork requires less energy compared to timber or steel processing. Using these systems for your construction project would mean embracing energy-efficient manufacturing practices. Plastic forms can be reused and need fewer replacements, further minimising your energy consumption.
Using plastic formwork in India is a key step towards sustainable construction and can help support green building certifications. Being more energy efficient and recyclable, plastic forms help achieve environmental goals and meet certification requirements.
NOVA Formworks has engineered plastic formwork construction systems that are significantly lightweight, making it simpler to transport, install and handle. These come in modular designs, aiding in quick customisation for different project requirements.
Due to their lightweight nature, plastic formworks are easy to manage and demand less manpower. Additionally, the system can be installed or dismantled in a matter of time, further reducing your dependency on labour. So NOVA plastic formwork isn’t just about concrete; it adds a human touch to your construction processes.
Reducing the risk of injuries at the construction site when handling heavier materials. They do not rust or form splinters, enhancing safety for workers.
In contrast to timber or steel, plastic formwork is exceptionally resistant to chemicals, moisture, and corrosion. This makes it ideal for use in all weathers. Furthermore, plastic does not rust, rot or warp, offering excellent structural integrity to concrete.
Plastic formwork systems ensure superior durability and can be used more than a hundred times. This helps reduce your costs related to material degradation or frequent replacements. They require little to no maintenance, saving on your maintenance costs too. Being lightweight and modular, plastic forms can also minimise your labour costs for installation or handling.
To sum up, NOVA plastic formwork provides an appealing mix of usability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability. The scope is beyond concrete – modular plastic formworks play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of your labour, improving efficiency, reducing costs and protecting the environment.
