Some Technologies used in other countries and Srilanka

to reduce time and the cost compare to this site

1. FormWork
Here they used traditional plywood
However there are several alternatives for formwork
Steel formwork
Mostly it is used where typical structure are exist.
In Srilanka Sanken construction uses steel formwork.

Several Advantages
Easy to Install
Very Smooth finish

Less Time consuming

Most importantly no wastage
Only disadvantage
high initial cost

Traditional formwork Waste

It uses lots of place working place
Time and money waste for removal
of these waste

L
recycle is not possible
If we thing some extend, more
timber formwork cause more
deforestation

Plastic Formwork- FUVI panels

This is another material for formwork
It also gives the same advantage as
steel formwork

Moreover this is light weight

material
Hence the erection is easy
compare to steel formwork

2. Partition wall
Here they used 9 thick brick for
partition wall.
However most efficient precast
partition wall is now used in several
country even in srilanka by ICC

It consumes 7 times less

manpower and time.
Very neat and strong product is
achievable.

3. Reinforcement work
In High rise building reinforcement
work involves in huge quantity.
Traditionally we use tie hacker for
reinforcement work
But there is a revolution for
reinforcement tying by tying tool.
It 5times faster than manual tying
Reduce labour cost and increase
productivity
Unnecessary cut waste of tie wire is
avoided.
Health damage risk is nil
Can work in any angle with one

4. External work (Plastering,

Painting)

Working on scaffolding is take

much time for erecting
scaffolding.
Scaffolding cost is high
Less safety
Working in scaffolding is not easy

However there are some places, they are

using moving platform for external work
Movable to any required height and
can work easily
No bulk scaffolding required
Anyway initial cost is high
