The Facility
L&T Formwork Systems comes to you from one of India's Best Managed and Most Respected Company LARSEN & TOUBRO, having a track record of over 65 years in the field of construction. Backed by experienced professionals and cutting-edge technology, ready to use L&T Formwork systems are manufactured at its own state-of-the-art, ISO certified facility in Puducherry. The facility also undertakes design, fabrication and supply of custom-built formwork assemblies for specialized applications.

H-BEAM THE CORE SYSTEM

H-Beam, an engineered timber component is the core of the system. Manufactured under stringent quality measures, the wooden flanges are made of chemically treated, seasoned timber. Using a unique finger jointing method, the webs are manufactured by joining these flanges with boiling water-proof plywood. H-beams consume less timber, as low as 40% of the required timber volume. Hence, they are light, dimensionally stable and retain their structural properties over a period of time, even after continual usage. They are more predictable, easy to design and use. H-beams can be used and reused nearly 100 times, which is 8 times greater than conventional timber. H-beams are available in two sizes namely H-16 (16 cms depth) and H-20 (20 cms depth). The length varies between 1m to 4.00m for H-16 and upto 4.80m for H-20.

L&T FLEX SYSTEM FOR RC FLOORS

A suitable and more convenient type of formwork for laying RC floors, the L&T Flex System is made up of components that give a firm support to floorings. It is suitable for RC floors as high as 5.80 m and is very well adapted for use with the Beam Forming System. H-beams positioned at designed intervals provide additional support to the plywood sheathing. These H-beams, supported by telescopic props mounted on tripods, ensure lateral stability. Props of various sizes CT-250, CT - 300, CT - 340, CT - 410 & EUREX 550 - can be effortlessly mounted on the tripods, enabling faster and easier erection of the shuttering system. Height adjustments are done by adjusting the prop nuts. Required dimension is obtained through side-lapping of H-beams in either the primary or secondary layer. By facilitating re-propping, the system minimizes the quantity of formworks significantly.

LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY 0.8 l manhours per sq.m for flat slabs 1.5 l manhours per sq.m for beam & slabs (beams using conventional system) 1.0 l manhours per sq.m for beam & slabs (beams using beam forming support system)

L&T FLEX TABLE SYSTEM

Widely used in making large scale flat slabs in construction majors like IT parks, commercial complexes and malls, L&T Flex Table System is handy and easy to use. It is highly suited for laying RC-floors up to 5.80m height. Depending on grid sizes, standard tables are made using suitable and effective components: timber beam, steel member, aluminum member, collapsible props and plywood sheathing. These primary and secondary beam components are connected firmly with table heads, making the entire system rigid and robust. Horizontal shifting of the system is done using hydraulically operated pallet trucks, while vertical shifting is done using cranes. This avoids dismantling of individual components, hence reducing labour and cycle time.

L&T BEAM FORMING SUPPORT SYSTEM

L&T Beam Forming Support System (BFS) is suitable for RC-Beams of depth between 30 cm to 110 cm. It is customised for use along with Flex and Heavy Duty Tower systems. Beam Bottom: Rigid H-20 beams / H-16 beams, positioned at designed spacing, support the plywood sheathing and form the secondary layer. These in turn are supported, for extra-stability, by a primary layer of H-beams. Beam Sides: Like the Beam bottom, the Beam sides are also made up of plywood sheathing supported by H-Beams at designed spacing, running along the length of the RC-beam. Supported by the BFS, the H-beams are clamped onto the H-20 beams provided for the Beam bottom. The beam forming support ensures the right angle between the beam bottom and sides. BFS extensions available in three sizes 600mm, 800mm and 1100mm in length - provide required adjustments in depth.

L&T WALL / COLUMN FORMWORK SYSTEM

PART PLAN OF WALL FORMWORK

L&T Wall & Column Formwork System is suitable for casting RC-walls and columns of minimum 15 x 15 cm. In both cases, the plywood sheathing is supported by H-beams, backed by steel walers. This assembly facilitates fixing working platforms for access, checking of reinforcement, concreting, etc. Panels have extra provision to achieve verticality and the concrete pressure is sustained by high strength tie system. The high strength tie system can be through tie system or lost anchor system depending on the structure. The H-Beams can be butt and splice jointed to form larger size of panels. The entire panel, along with the platform and alignment system can be shifted using cranes as a single unit. Panels are created in workshops at the site and the assembly of components is reduced, enhancing accuracy throughout. Since the entire unit is handled as a whole, loss of smaller component is reduced, and contributes to material productivity. In the absence of a crane the panels can be dismantled and handled manually. The walers are available in sizes of 0.8m, 1.2m, 1.6m, 1.8m, 2m and 2.4m for making panels and combination of panels with splices and adjustments can be made to arrive at the exact lengths of RC wall.

L&T HEAVY DUTY TOWER SYSTEM

L&T Heavy Duty Tower System is widely used as staging for heavy floors at higher altitudes, and also serves as scaffolds on certain occasions. Heavy duty frames are braced using standard bracings, forming the heavy duty tower system. Couplers and pins connect frames together, ensuring verticality. Spindles provided at the bottom can be used to adjust height and level. At every 6m interval, the towers are braced with permanent structures that prevent the tower from twisting under abnormal loading conditions. Each heavy duty tower has an unmatched capacity of 25 MT and is ideal for handling heavy loads at unusual heights. It also serves as Table Formwork in multi-storied constructions and can be handled as single units up to a height of 10m. The Heavy Duty Basic frames are available in heights of 0.9m, 1.2 m or 1.8m. The Heavy Duty Towers are available in two sizes namely 1525x1525 mm or 1525x2250 mm (in plan). Heavy duty towers can also be used as scaffolding for application like external finishing works, painting, cladding etc.

L&T CLIMBING SYSTEM

L&T Climbing System is used for tall structures like cooling towers, tankages, core walls, where staging or scaffolding along the interior or exterior walls would prove uneconomical. In the Climbing System, brackets are hooked to lost anchors, which are already provided along the cast wall. Entire shuttering is supported on the climbing brackets. The brackets are suitably braced to prevent any sway and are provided with walkways, working platforms and handrail for safety and ease of operation. Varying degrees of sophistication are available in the climbing systems, a few of which are listed below: CB - 150 A: Simple climbing, crane handled - platform width 1.50 m. The brackets and wall formwork are to be handled separately. Provision for extension of bracket width is also possible. CB - 150 F: Travel climbing, crane handled - platform width 1.50 m. Roll back arrangement for de-shuttering and cleaning of shutters. The wall formwork and climbing bracket are lifted as one unit. Provision for extension of bracket width is also possible.

Automatic Climbing Formwork: The wall formwork along with the climbing brackets slide along the wall using hydraulics, thus eliminating the need for a crane. This system is very often used for core walls in high rise structures, cable stayed bridge pylons, natural draught cooling towers, etc.,

L&T ACCESS SCAFFOLD SYSTEM

L&T Access Scaffold System provides a free and safe working environment, increasing productivity. It contains frames, 1.8m high, braced with standard H225 & 2H225 bracings that form the main structure. Suitable couplers and pins connect individual frames with each other, giving the tower the desired height. The towers are provided with tower spindles at the bottom for fine adjustments in height and leveling. The towers provide a continuous corridor for working with the bracings serving as hand rails. There are no cross members or diagonal bracings that impede free passage or safe working. This is an ideal system for scaffolding for heights up to 40m. The width of the working platform is 1m. The scaffold has to be braced with the permanent structure at every 4m in height.
