| TITLE | Refurbishment of Aluminium Formwork |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | Aluminium formwork, popularly known as Mivan shuttering, has transformed construction with its lightweight, durability that enables rapid assembly and disassembly which reduced slab cycles. However, repeated use causes wear like dents, corrosion, and profile damage, shortening component lifespan. This study investigates refurbishment techniques, which includes cleaning, repairing, side rail replacement, and reassembly to extend usability across projects. Through experimental analysis of refurbished panels, lifecycle assessments, and cost comparisons, findings lifespan extension and 25% cost savings as compare to new formwork. Results validate refurbishment as a cost-effective, sustainable solution for small and large projects, maintaining concrete finish quality. Recommendations include standardized protocols for inspection and repair to optimize reuse cycles and minimize downtime. This research bridges gaps in formwork maintenance literature, offering practical guidelines for industry adoption. |
