DESCRIPTION
Presentation Forsa Alum ENG - Building ProgressTRANSCRIPT
FORSA was born in Colombia in 1995, and since then we
have offered to the construction sector an Industrialized
Construction System, based on a highly versatile and
adaptable formwork. This enable users to minimize costs and
construction times achieving high quality finishes, always with
our support, backup and continued advice.
Today we are leaders in the Colombian and Latin American
market, with three production facilities located in Colombia,
Mexico and Brazil as well as maintenance workshops in other
countries.
• FORSA is a modular, fast
and profitable construction
system.
• It achieves the construction
of a house a day using
poured slabs (walls and
floors simultaneously)
• The Forsa System adapts
to all types of design, in any
geometric form or
construction height
• The FORSA System is
complete: in addition to the
pieces and accessories the
system has, we supply all
the guard rails and specials
platforms allowing job
performance while fulfilling
all the client’s demands to
guarantee the safety of the
workers.
According to design,
architectural features the
amount of units to be built
and the required project
execution times; we offer two different products.
Aluminum formworks for big projects. This represents
lower costs, more savings and speed than traditional construction methods.
Plastic formworks made of engineering plastic for smaller
projects (housing and civil works) offering the builder excellent
concrete finishes.
MINIMUM WASTE OF CONCRETE
3.5% IN CONCRETE SAVING
VS.
Independent
pouring of walls and slab
With FORSA formworks construction of a
housing unit per day can be achieved
through monolithic pours (walls and slab at
the same time).
MONOLITHIC SYSTEM
MONOLITHIC POUR
90% SAVINGS IN RENDERING OF DETAILS
VS.
INDEPENDENT POURING OF WALLS
AND SLAB
• 90 degrees angle in wall-slab union • Maximum strength – minimal drifts • Slab bottoms properly leveled, completely
horizontal without bumps.
With FORSA System lightweight forms, fewer personnel is necessary to reach daily performance (steel forms 38 Kg/m2 vs. Forsa Alum 23 Kg/m2).
18% SAVINGS IN LABOR
VS. STEEL FORMS OR
TRADITIONAL METHODS.
CONSTRUCTION PERFORMANCE: HIGH RISE AND LOW RISE
FORSAalum: 1500 uses. FORSAplast : 400 uses. Daily preventive maintenance suggested by FORSA’s technical department is required in order to achieve offered lifecycle.
REUSABLE SYSTEM
4.0% OF THE STRUCTURE COST IS THE FORSA
SYSTEM
The size of each panel and contact surface quality of FORSA System, achieves excellent finishes on concrete surfaces. Reduces: rendering/plastering/ filling to achieve a flat surface before painting
FLAT AND HOMOGENEOUS CONTACT SURFACE
70% SAVING IN CORRECTIONS OR
FINISHINGS VS.
TRADITIONAL SYSTEM
Floor-to-Floor Connections: expansion joints helps hiding floor- to- floor dents.
The FORSA system integrates expansion joints to the forms and façade support angles to get them casted in the concrete slab edges.
FLOOR -TO- FLOOR TRANSITION
• Homogeneous façades: Dimensional precision, excellent vertical alignment and nice plumbs in corners and surface.
With FORSA Systems, dimensions of architectural design are maintained, this allows other construction activities to be industrialized (for example: door and window manufacturing, MEP installations and others).
INDUSTRIALIZATION OF THE PROCESSES
FORSA exceeds the demands of International Norm ACI 117
QUALITY STRUCTURE
Concrete warping
MAXIMUM FORSA 3mm
< NORM: 6 mm
FORSA INTEGRATES SPECIAL FEATURES TO CONCRETE SHAPES: The architectural and structural design is maintained and integrated into the mold. Some of these features include: curved elements on façades and roofs (vaults and others); diagonal walls, special ledges, etc.
VERSATILE SYSTEM
HIGH RISE AND LOW RISE PERFORMANCE
• Only one team of workers to pour walls and floors.
• Fast learning curve.
18% SAVING IN LABOR
VS. TRADITIONAL SYSTEM
Area: 80 m2 Cycle: 6 hours Average manpower performance: 1 m2/hour # Workers= 80/6/1 = 14
HIGH RISE AND LOW RISE PERFORMANCE
• For High Rise buildings you need a couple of workers for every 30 m. of perimeter to install walkways.
• Steel installation: 5 workers for 80 m2
• Hydraulic and sewage system: 2 workers for 80 m2
• Electricians: 2 workers for 80 m2
• 3 additional workers for patching and refilling holes left by ties. • 3 workers for supervision, axis plotting and other tasks.
CONSTRUCTION TIME REDUCTION
POSSIBILITY OF SIMULTANEOUS JOBS As the structure moves along, finishing work can be started on previously poured structures.
42% SAVING IN INDIRECT AND
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
VS. TRADITIONAL SYSTEM
• Different stages of the project in the same site, reducing the construction time. • Savings in Indirect and Administrative Expenses.
SIMULTANEOUS WORK
• Minimum Waste of Concrete • Less waste of Construction materials • Decrease of the use of wood.
CLEAN AND NEAT WORK SITES MEANS LESS COST
The FORSA System is compatible with any thermal insulation system.
WEATHER ADAPTED STRUCTURES
CONCRETE SPECIFICATIONS
Use concrete according to structural design specs and plasticizer / accelerator additives. For walls: Use gravel from 3/8» to ½ » depending on the thickness of the wall. For slabs: Use ½» to ¾» gravel
“Since I started using Forsa, I can control all my projects processes, represented in quality of works and major savings to get bigger profits. Eng. Andres Santamaria Apiros Constructors Bogotá, Colombia
BUILDERS ALWAYS COUNT ON OUR
COMPANIONSHIP
• Staff training on-site providing a
systematic method to ensure the optimum performance and consequent workforce reduction .
• Thanks to our Technical Monitoring
Plan, you’ll have on-site technical support at least twice a year until the end of the project. We look forward to improve your experience with Forsa systems and to guarantee formworks life cycle.
BUILDERS ALWAYS COUNT ON OUR
COMPANIONSHIP
• Permanent presence of our agents to meet any requirements.
• We have a very experienced
team to validate each stage of your formwork modulation in order to complete all project requirements and submit the most efficient solution.
FORSA Alum industrialized system compared to traditional systems is approximately 22% less of
direct cost.

DISMANTLING PROCESS
For second floor formwork assembly, exterior walkways should be installed at entire housing’s perimeter. Grooved angles are inserted on walkways slots to support façade panels and keep building verticality. Platforms over walkways provide a safe exterior surface for workers safe movement.
ADDING MORE FLOORS
Forsa system produce the best concrete finishes due to the precision of the manufactured parts and smooth contact surface.
A minimum amount of finishing compound must be applied before painting.
