In the late 1990's, Load
Bearing Shear Wall
construction has been
introduced in
replacement of the
traditional column-beam
Reinforced Concrete
Frame for the
construction of low to
medium low cost
apartments. As such,
steel Tunnel Formwork
System (Tunnelform) had
been used in replacement
of conventional sawn
timber formwork.
Since then, the Tunnel
Forwork technology has
gained tremendous
popularity and
acceptance by many
Contractors, Consultants
and Owners as the most
suitable construction
method to built
apartment units with
large quantities and
within limited time
frame. It can also be
used to cast Double-storeys
terrace units and high
end condominium units.
