ENGINEERS & CONSULTANTS & TUNNEL FORM SYSTEM
Tunnel form project savings are phenomenal and proven on projects to be return savings of 50% on project delivery time and around 35% on materials and labour costs.
Thers simply is no better ROI on investment. The larger the project the better the cost savings.
‘Unseen’ benefits of utilizing the tunnel form system are quicker turn around on financing repayments so reduced costs due to speedier delivery of completed units. Quicker project turn around means developer is more fluid in being able to take market advantage allowing developer growth and increased profitability in shorter timeframes.
Quicker delivery of turn key units results in customer confidence and customer retention for future projects.
This also results in a better perceived perception of developer in market comparison to competitors utilizing traditional construction methodology as shell construction and then turnkey project delivery completes quicker, thus increasing brand strengthening.
Intrinsic customer confidence due to nature of having a natural disaster resistant proven quality concrete home.
Its all in the planning.
At the planning stage all the hard work done by the engineers coordinating the architectural layouts, structural and tunnel form plans to ensure precision casting from the outset. Site planning is also meticulously planned to ensure necessary concrete delivery, crane placement and movements and wire mesh storage and logistic. Precision is necessary at this project planning stage to ensure successful delivery down to the electrical outlet positioning in the walls and the necessary conduits and cabling and plumbing block outs to be ready in the wire mesh and steel ready for the fast track daily in situ casting. Once this planning is in place and after the first few weeks of casting the engineers are able to relax as the daily repetitious nature of the industrialized tunnel form building methodology ensures repeated and consistent high quality castings.
