ALUMIFAST
ALUMIFAST: fast, intuitive slab formwork with less material on site.
Intuitive assembly and maximum logistical efficiency on site
ALUMIFAST is a slab formwork system designed to accelerate concreting cycles and simplify site work. Its large-format panel configuration allows wide surface areas to be covered in less time, with fewer components and a far more agile logistics operation.
Its concept is designed so that assembly is clear from the first use: few components, a repetitive sequence and intuitive handling. This reduces the learning curve, improves daily execution and helps maintain a consistent work rhythm even with less specialised crews.
In addition, its early striking system allows panels to be reused earlier at the next phase of the works, reducing material requirements, storage space and operating costs. The result is a cost-effective, safe solution designed for projects demanding real productivity.
Key benefits of ALUMIFAST
Faster execution: large-format panels allow extensive slab areas to be formed quickly and with fewer crane operations on site.
Less material required: the system works with only three basic elements — panel, drop head and prop — simplifying planning, reducing storage requirements and improving site organisation.
Early striking: thanks to the drop head system, panels can be released early and rapidly rotated to the next concreting area, while props remain in place until the concrete reaches sufficient strength.
Safe assembly from below: panels are positioned from ground level, enabling a safer and more controlled operation during erection.
Easy to learn and apply: the assembly logic is very simple and repetitive, minimising errors and allowing efficient working without extensive training.
Lightweight and manageable: aluminium panels weigh approximately 17 kg/m², facilitating manual handling and reducing crane dependency in many operations.
Fewer props, more usable space: only one prop is required per 2.16 m² for 180 × 120 cm panels, leaving passage and working areas beneath the soffit more unobstructed.
Minimal maintenance: the powder-coated finish and edges designed to prevent concrete adhesion make inter-cycle cleaning fast and straightforward.
Adaptation to special geometries: filler areas can be resolved practically using filler beams and plywood, without complicating the main assembly.
Compatible with a wide range of props: the system is compatible with many standard market props, providing flexibility with existing plant inventories.
Commitment to reuse: reusable aluminium panels reduce timber consumption and promote more efficient use of resources throughout the project.
Main components and accessories
Standard panels
Available in 180 × 120 cm and 180 × 90 cm. They form the basis of the system and allow large surface areas to be covered rapidly.
Drop head (early striking head)
Key component for both assembly and early striking. It allows the panel to be released without removing the props, accelerating material rotation.
Props
Shoring element compatible with numerous commercially available props.
Applications of ALUMIFAST
Primarily used for concrete floor slabs and flat soffits, particularly in projects with large plan areas and wide spans where execution speed and material optimisation are decisive factors.
It is highly suitable for building projects seeking to systematise formwork, reduce cycle times and maintain a safe, orderly and easily repeatable assembly process phase after phase.
It is also a very practical solution for companies wishing to move from traditional timber formwork to a more productive and controlled system.
