Overview

Aluminium formwork casts walls, slabs, columns and staircases in a single monolithic pour. Panelised components support repeatable pour cycles when the structure, programme and reuse strategy are planned together.

Schach designs each project against the specific structure. Shell plans, modulation drawings, cycle plans and component schedules are prepared, reviewed with the client, then released to production and site as one traceable package.

Key benefits
  • 01

    Programme certainty

    Sequenced components and reuse planning support predictable pour-cycle delivery.

  • 02

    Reduced site labour

    Panelised, colour-coded, hand-set components reduce dependency on skilled shuttering labour. Actual reductions are project-specific.

  • 03

    Concrete finish

    Machined panel edges and consistent joint detailing support a formed finish. Finish and subsequent surface treatment are configuration-dependent.

  • 04

    Managed reuse

    Reuse planned around inspection, refurbishment and component replacement. Achievable cycles depend on maintenance regime and are agreed per project.

Design & engineering support

What to send us.

To scope the system accurately, our engineers work from the following information:

  • Architectural and structural drawings, including sections
  • Slab, beam and column schedules
  • Pour sequence and construction programme
  • Loading and pressure assumptions
  • Access, storage and craneage constraints
  • Required concrete finish and reuse cycles
Safety & compliance

Aluminium formwork configurations are engineered against the specific project. Applicable standards, load classes and permitted configurations are stated on the technical proposal issued by our engineering team.

Applicable standards, design responsibilities and permitted configurations vary by product, application and jurisdiction. These are confirmed in the technical proposal and supporting documentation.

Technical documents

Available on request.

Catalogues, technical data sheets, assembly and inspection guidance are issued against confirmed enquiries under controlled release.

Typical applications
  • High-rise residential
  • Affordable & mass housing
  • Concrete cores & shear walls
  • Column & beam structures
  • Staircases
  • Curved façades
