Benefits of using Permanent Form Concrete Walling
- Fast erection and subsequent delivery of multiple residential accommodation
- Wall construction time reduced from 16 to 3 days per floor
- Elimination of scaffolding
- Elimination of wet trade finishes
- Walls can be pre-made to suit gable shaping
- High precision of panel manufacture
- No lag time between construction of each floor level
- Reduction of concrete use and carbon/environmental/site pollution
The use of Permanent Form Concrete Walling on multi-storey projects saves time, money and resources as well as yielding a vastly reduced carbon output and less environmental/site pollution. Reduced usage of scaffolding due to the Permanent Form Concrete Walling panels enhances building safety, a target for all construction projects.
Airey Taylor Consulting used proprietary Permanent Form Concrete Walling systems for the St. Quentin’s Mixed Use Development Project in Claremont in 2011. The combination of Top Down Construction technique to accelerate basement construction and extensive use of these concrete filled walling systems delivered a savings of five months in building time.
The finished effect for these high value units is excellent – acoustic properties unit to unit are first rate – and the overall resolution attracted positive comment from the client and purchasers alike for their precision and elegance.
We continue to successfully use this product in designs for residential, commercial, civic/community and industrial developments throughout Western Australia.
