Aluma's formwork for JBR project
01 July 2004
Aluma Systems has been awarded an order from Arabtech for the purchase Alumalite truss flying forms for use on 13 towers being built concurrently on the new Jumeirah Beach Residence project.
"This order is the direct result of the Alumalite truss flying form’s outstanding performance at the Dubai Marina project, where flying form technology reduced the project work cycle from 10 days to a three-day cycle,” says Terry Taylor, Aluma Systems general manager Middle East.
“Two reasons stand out for the improved productivity on the Dubai projects: first, the lighter weight of the Alumalite truss flying form system allows traditional cranes to lift much larger tables. The second reason is found in the larger average size of the Alumalite flying form which can be up to 14 m by 9 m.
"The Alumalite flying form is more than five times larger than the standard table form. This combination of greater panel size and lighter weight enables increased productivity on projects. With improvements of 70 per cent or greater, Aluma’s technology becomes a compelling advantage to contractors," he adds.
