OFF-SITE VS TUNNEL FORM
Tunnel form is the only system that has many of the advantages of off-site manufacture whether that be precast, modular or volumetric in terms of quality of finished product, minimum site wastage, end product concrete smooth face quality control etc.
Tunnel Forms unique advantages arguably is that tunnel form projects can be delivered on site without the need for lengthy lead times and costs for both factory production, skilled labour, repeated logistical transport requirements and installation costs at site needed with off-site methodologies.With proper site logistics in terms of concrete delivery, wire mesh and steel availability and mobile/tower craneage there are many, many advantages to the tunnel form system in terms of cost savings mainly in labour savings and speed of delivery and installation.
Finally’ if near-site or off-site housing unit production is required then tunnel form can also be adapted to modular housing made in the factory cast in concrete and delivered to site as modular concrete volumetric modular units.
