GETO Malaysia Implements QR Code Scanner

The QR code scanner has been implemented in GETO China for many years, and recently introduced into GETO Malaysia in February 2023.

The function of the code scanner can increase the speed of customers returning panels, which also greatly improves the efficiency of labor services. Compared with the previous traditional method which is one-by-one counting of panels, it is indeed much faster. This also greatly reduces the error rate when counting panels. In addition, the paperless formwork management method is more in line with the green construction concept.

Every single panels no matter big or small produce by GETO will comes together with the QR code. The QR code will stick on the surface of panels, labor just need to scan the QR code with the scanning code gun, The data will automatically enter into the data base.

GETO Malaysia Case

For the GETO construction project Serenia City, located at Sepang, we have adopted the QR code scanner in managing the materials. The Customer delivers the panels from the site back to our factory. Before returning to the factory, GETO assigns a supervisor to do the packing stuff. The supervisor scans the QR code that pasted on the panel with the GETO code scanner. Workers will pack the panels accordingly after the supervisor scans the panels.

This technology will greatly improve the work efficiency and effectiveness of managing construction materials. In contrast, some other suppliers still use the traditional method of remarking one by one with pen and paper, which requires more manpower and is less efficient. This technolgy shows that GETO put much effort into research and development. We provide excellent service to customers and make both of the parties work easier with our technology development.

6 Advantages of GETO Hydraulic Self-climbing Formwork

GETO Hydraulic self-climbing formwork is the optimal solution for the cores of super high-rise buildings (over 150 meters), including both concrete core walls and frame structure cores, as well as for shear walls.

It is made up of formwork panels, a climbing mechanism, a working platform, hydraulic jacks, and a power unit. The formwork panels are used to create the shape of the concrete structure, and the climbing mechanism, which is powered by hydraulic jacks and a power unit, allows the formwork to be raised or lowered vertically as the structure is being built. The formwork panels are typically made from materials such as wood, steel, or aluminum. The hydraulic system is powered by a motor and uses hydraulic cylinders to move the formwork up and down the structure.

As the formwork system climbs up the building, the workers install new formwork on the next level and pour concrete into the formwork. Once the concrete has hardened, the formwork is removed and the process begins again. The hydraulic system ensures that the formwork system remains stable and level as it climbs, which helps to ensure the quality and safety of the construction process. The working platform provides a safe and secure area for workers to carry out their tasks at high elevations, which can reduce the risk of accidents and injuries on the job site.

Adavantages:

The system’s obvious advantages have been verified in plenty of projects both at home and abroad:

  • Improved efficiency: One of the key advantages of hydraulic self-climbing formwork is that it can significantly improve construction efficiency. This is because the formwork can be quickly and easily moved up the building as the construction progresses, without the need for workers to manually dismantle and reassemble the formwork each time.
  • Increased safety: The system eliminates the need for workers to manually climb up and down scaffolding or ladders, thus it can reduce the risk of accidents and injuries on the job site. 
  • Greater flexibility: Hydraulic self-climbing formwork is highly versatile and can be used to construct a wide range of different concrete structures. It can be easily adapted to different shapes, sizes, and designs, allowing for greater flexibility in construction.
  • Enhanced precision: The hydraulic system used in self-climbing formwork allows for greater precision in construction. The formwork can be adjusted and leveled with greater accuracy, which can result in a more precise and uniform finished product.
  • Reduced labor costs: Since the system eliminates the need for workers to manually dismantle and reassemble the formwork for each pour, it can significantly reduce labor costs. This can make the construction process more cost-effective overall.
  • Faster construction: This system can help to speed up the construction process since the formwork can be moved up the building quickly and easily. This can result in a faster construction timeline and a quicker return on investment for the project.

Not only in super high-rise buildings, but GETO hydraulic self-climbing formwork system is also widely used in the construction of bridges, dams, and other large infrastructure projects.

More specifically, GETO hydraulic self-climbing formwork is suitable for projects that require a fast and efficient construction process, as the system is designed to be quickly erected, dismantled, and moved to the next location. This makes it an excellent choice for projects with tight construction schedules, where time and labor costs are critical factors.

Re-utilization Project in Taiwan, China

Project Information

This is the first formwork re-utilization project in Taiwan, China, which means most of the formwork are re-used from previous projects, with only a small portion to be provided additionally.

Such projects require substantial collaboration with customers, high accuracy in formwork re-design, and foresight of possible difficulties and counter plans. Limited time makes it even more challenging.

With close collaboration between both parties and construction work nicely orchestrated by our customer, the project is progressing well on schedule with quality outcome.

Project in Taiwan, China
Project in Taiwan, China

GETO’ s Solution

However, the consideration of formwork reuse does not merely start from the beginning of this project. Instead, it starts at the very beginning of the time. At the very beginning of the first project, the GETO design team communicates with the customer in detail about floor height, and structural features, also with an eye on all other projects in the customer’s project pipeline. This is to determine a versatile principle of formwork modulation for those projects, with a certain standardization rate that is mutually agreed upon. In the case of this customer, the standardization rate is set at more than 80%.

When the project is finished, the used formwork and aluminum formwork accessories are properly cleaned and stocked following GETO relevant guideline.

Re-utilization of GETO Aluminium Formwork

When it comes to a new project, in which the formwork is to be re-used, a detailed formwork list and zone-wise packing instructions will be given. It clearly tells what panels and aluminium formwork accessories shall be re-utilized, and specifies they are to be used in which room/zone. In this way, site workers don’t have to spend extra time searching for the right formwork piece. This is how a smooth and well-organized re-utilization of aluminum formwork can take place.

At GETO, we care more about how our customers could make the right investment, not only through providing reliable and quality products; but also by helping them activate their formwork stock to achieve the best value in utilization in the long term. GETO prides ourselves on our positioning as a trusted partner instead of a formwork vendor.

GETO Aluminium Beam Type Single-Side Wall Framework in MRT Station Construction

As we all know, transport is of great importance to both social and economic development. In Taiwan, China, new MRT stations are being built for the public’s benefit and convenience. GETO is proud to have been involved in one of these projects supplying construction materials. We supplied aluminium beam formwork, aluminium wall formwork, aluminium deck formwork, and aluminium column formworksingle-side formwork is also included.

Project Difficult Point

When it comes to retaining walls, we usually use large triangular trusses to build them. However, the large triangular trusses are so large and heavy that they must be lifted and moved by crane and cannot be installed by manpower only. A bar implant solution is relatively light but requires more pre-set operations. The client gave us their ideas, wanting to be able to install it manually without using the crane, not a tie rod embedding plan, and to use aluminium formwork for the construction. Our international R&D team finally provided an Aluminium Beam Type Single-Side Wall Framework solution, which not only meets the customer’s requirements for manual operation and less implant as mentioned above but also increases the turnover utilization rate of each component, as aluminium beams and props components can be used in other floors and structures after the retaining walls are done.

2. The advantages of aluminum formwork

  • Shorten the construction period

The project is equipped with four sets of steel supports (five sets of the cantilever), and the construction speed of the workers on the construction site can reach four days per floor. Compared with traditional formwork, the project construction period is greatly reduced and great value is created for customers.

  • Save labor costs

The average daily wages of construction workers in Hong Kong are extremely high. GETO provides professional guidance on installation services to improve the efficiency of aluminum formwork installation for on-site personnel. It also shortens the construction period, which can significantly reduce the labor cost of workers. 

  • Use repeatedly and lower use cost

The turnover of aluminum formwork in this project is more than 20 times, and the construction of all standard layers can be completed by using one set of aluminum mold, with a low average cost of use.

  • Lightweight aluminum formwork

The aluminum alloy formwork system with an average weight of 25KG/㎡is simple and convenient to assemble. It is completely assembled by hand and does not require the assistance of any mechanical equipment. Workers usually only need a small hook and a small hammer for construction, which is convenient and fast. Skilled installers can install 20-30 square meters per person per day. Compared with wooden formwork, the advantages of aluminum formwork are more obvious. Aluminum formwork installers only need 70-80% of wooden formwork installers, and there is no need for skilled workers, as long as simple training is given to the construction workers before installation.

  • Good stability and high bearing capacity

After the aluminium formwork system is assembled, it forms a whole framework with good stability. With the reasonable arrangement of load-bearing pillars, the bearing capacity can reach 30KN per square meter.

  • Good concrete surface

After concrete casting and removing the formwork, the surface of the concrete is smooth and clean, which can meet the requirements of finishing and fair-faced concrete without plastering and can save plastering costs.

  • Environmental protection, energy conservation,and emission reduction

The aluminum mold uses renewable materials, which can effectively help energy conservation and emission reduction. It is a green building material. At the same time, the project’s prefabricated laminate panelsand prefabricated stairs reduce the generation of construction waste on the site.

3. GETO Shaft Platform

The project also used the GETO Shaft Platform and successfully helped solve the pain points of the customer and improve construction efficiency. The lifting shaft platform system can be lifted layer by layer through a tower crane. The whole system can be reset by contraction and expansion, which makes the construction of the lift shaft holistic and mechanistic.

Shaft Platform solved pain points :

  • The Shaft Platform provides a working platform for the entrance of the elevator shaft, avoiding repetitive dismantlement and installation, modular assembly with the overall system uplift, which makes the construction more convenient.
  • The Shaft Platform provides good safety performance, labors work in a closed space, preventing the laborers from falling from a height or being smashed by any falling objects.
  • With simple and fast installation, speedy structure strengthening and demoulding, and speedy uplift and turnover, it saves the time and cost of manual assembly.
