SH promotes aluminum formwork to accelerate construction

The Brazilian company SH is promoting the use of industrialized systems in civil construction, specifically through its Lumiform SH® aluminum formwork system for concrete walls. This technology is designed for projects requiring high levels of repeatability and standardization, such as residential, corporate, and infrastructure developments.

When applied to suitable projects, the system can reduce construction schedules by an average of 40% and decrease waste generation by approximately 70%. The methodology replaces manual adjustments with modular components that allow for defined assembly sequences and reuse throughout the project.

However, the effectiveness of the system depends on several factors, including project geometry, cycle planning, team training, and execution conditions. Successful implementation requires careful integration into the planning phase, including the definition of concrete cycles, team sizing, internal logistics, and the sequence of assembly and disassembly.
