For large-scale residential projects like apartment buildings, hotels, and student housing, speed and structural quality are paramount. CCL’s Residential Tunnel Formwork system is the definitive solution, engineered to deliver unmatched construction speed without compromising on strength or precision.
Our innovative system allows for the casting of walls and floors in a single, monolithic pour. This industrializes the construction process, transforming your job site into a model of efficiency and making it possible to complete a full structural story on a daily cycle. The result is a dimensionally perfect, smooth concrete shell that minimizes the need for follow-up work and accelerates every subsequent stage of construction.
From initial design consultation to on-site implementation, our team partners with you to develop the most cost-effective and efficient strategy for your project’s unique requirements.
The Tunnel Formwork Advantage
Unmatched Construction Speed: Establish a fixed daily cycle, pouring one or more units per day for a drastically reduced project timeline.
Superior Structural Quality: The monolithic pour creates a robust, seamless structure with minimal cold joints, enhancing durability and load distribution.
Cost and Labor Efficiency: Reduce reliance on costly consumables like plywood and timber, and streamline your on-site labor with a repetitive, easy-to-learn process.
Design Flexibility & Customization: Our modular steel forms, available in 1,200mm and 2,400mm elements, can be configured to almost any length or width and adapted for unique architectural features.
Enhanced Safety: A systematic and organized workflow creates a safer, more predictable working environment for your crew.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the Tunnel Form system?
Tunnel form is a precision-engineered steel formwork system that enables a contractor to construct both the reinforced concrete walls and slab of a structure in a single, daily pour. This repetitive, factory-like process brings maximum efficiency to projects with a consistent floor plan.
What are the primary advantages of using this system?
The benefits are significant and impact every phase of your project:
Speed & Efficiency: It is the fastest construction method for repetitive cellular structures, drastically shortening timelines.
Quality & Safety: It produces a stronger monolithic structure, reduces the chance of errors through repetition, and fosters a safe, organized worksite.
Cost-Effectiveness & Durability: It minimizes the use of disposable materials like lumber and plywood. The robust steel forms can be reused hundreds of times, offering exceptional long-term value.
Modularity: The system is adaptable. Bay sizes can be modified for future projects, and individual components can be replaced if necessary, protecting your investment.
What are the key requirements for a successful Tunnel Form project?
To maximize the system’s benefits, certain project conditions are ideal:
Initial Investment: The system requires an upfront investment in the steel forms, which provides returns through speed and reusability over the project’s duration.
Project Cash Flow: A financial plan that accommodates the rapid pace of material consumption and construction progress is necessary.
Dedicated Crane: Efficient operation requires a crane to be available for moving and setting the formwork sections as part of the daily cycle.
