    Tunnel Formwork

    Uploaded by

    Mohammed Hajara
    The tunnel formwork system is a type of formwork used for repetitive construction where RCC slabs and walls are cast in a continuous pour within steel cell forms shaped like half cylinders. It allows for rapid construction through repeated use of the forms with cycle times of just one day between slab castings. While having a high initial capital cost, tunnel formwork provides benefits of speed, quality, safety and economy compared to traditional formwork. It is well-suited for projects like multi-story residential buildings but requires suitable building design and skilled labor to implement effectively.

    What When
    Limitation
    What is tunnel formwork System?
    • The tunnel formwork system is a type of
    formwork in which RCC slab and walls are
    casted in continuous pour and form a cell.
    • Consist 2 Half cell (L-shaped) made of steel.
    • The tunnel form work system is very useful
    for repetitive room design.
    Slab cycle
    • Slab cycle is the amount
    of time that is required
    Time duration that we
    between the casting of took between casting of
    slab 1 and slab 2
    slabs.
    • Generally, it is refer as a
    cycle time of formwork.
    Slab Cycle of Formwork Involves
    • Wall shuttering • Slab reinforcement
    • Slab shuttering • Electrical fitting
    • Slab level • Casting of slab
    • Levelling • De shuttering wall
    • Line and plumb • De shuttering slab
    • Wall reinforcement
    PROCESS
    Why we use tunnel formwork system?
    • It is economical
    • It is fast and reliable
    • It is safe
    • It provides High Quality
    When Tunnel Formwork is suitable
    • It is particularly effective in projects suited to repetitive cellular construction such as
    residential blocks, hotels, student accommodation, barracks and prisons.
    • Rapid construction.
    • Column less structure.
    • High quality.
    • High rise building construction.

    Limitations of Tunnel Formwork
     Not suitable for small projects
     High initial investment of formwork and other machineries.
     Need to design building suitable for system.
     Due to speedy construction, high cash flow management required.
     Skilled labour force is needed compared to traditional systems.
