Cast-in-place concrete wall technology has transformed construction sites into more productive, organized, and safe environments. And when this methodology is applied with aluminum formwork, such as the Lumiform SH® system, the benefits are even more evident. In this article, we answer the main questions on the topic, focusing on the system’s feasibility, durability, and productivity.
Is the Concrete Wall Methodology Ideal for My Project?
The answer is yes—as long as the system is reusable and a proper technical-economic study is carried out. SH’s concrete wall technology is a tailor-made solution, designed specifically for projects with the potential for standardization and scale. Ideal for:
Mid- and high-end vertical developments
Condominiums with repetitive units
Projects requiring increased productivity and reduced reliance on labor
Our team conducts a comprehensive feasibility analysis, considering factors such as project type, Gross Sales Value (GSV), schedule, estimated productivity, and costs.
Are SH Aluminum Formwork Durable?
Yes. Lumiform SH® system forms are manufactured with a special aluminum alloy, ensuring strength and a long service life. With proper care, our customers have achieved over 1,500 uses with the same set.
To this end, we provide:
A best practices manual with detailed instructions for use
Hands-on field training with our technical team
Maintenance service at the SH factory (RJ) or directly on site
Furthermore, after use on a project, the forms can be adapted for new projects, significantly increasing the return on investment.
Does the Lumiform SH® System Increase Productivity?
Definitely. The Lumiform SH® system is lightweight, simple, and quick to assemble. With standardized accessories (pins, wedges, and blades), it is possible to:
Assemble and concreting in cycles of up to five times per week
Significantly reduce rework and failures
Minimize the need for specialized labor
The system can also be integrated with LumiUp SH, our climbing safety platform. This combination allows for safely hoisting assemblies assembled on the ground to upper floors, optimizing time and preventing accidents.
What Type of Project Can Lumiform SH® Be Used For?
Although historically associated with the Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV) program, the Lumiform SH® system is highly adaptable and can be used for projects of all standards, including:
High-end residential projects
Corporate buildings
Hotels and hospitals
Custom projects requiring fine finishes
Its application results in cleaner, more organized, and safer construction sites, characteristics valued in all segments of the construction industry.
