Aarding has pioneered various mechanized building construction technology & equipment. Aarding’s high-tech building equipment can help to solve housing problems throughout the world. Our line includes concrete Prefab moulds , Tunnel form shuttering equipment.

Concrete Prefab Moulds

Aarding designs and manufactures all kinds of steel prefab moulds for facades, floor slabs, walls, stairs, beams, etc. Depending on the customer’s requirements, Aarding can supply prefab moulds for both stationary and carousel systems in prefab concrete factories. Aarding also manufactures moulds for pre-stressed concrete elements for floor slabs, bridge girders, beams, etc.

The tunnel forming (shuttering) system is particularly efficient. It has a high production rate, great flexibility in design, is easy to handle and lab Hour-saving, so time-related and other project costs are minimized. The Monolithic concrete structures are strong and durable, even in earthquake zones. They combine Excellent fire resistance with outstanding sound-proofing qualities.

Unique System
The tunnel-shuttering of Aarding distinguishes itself by the unique built-in knee-strut system. without the use of hydraulic auxiliary equipment (and consequently also without the necessity of extra energy facilities) the struts of the shuttering can ‘bend their knees', thanks to which the deck and sidewalls are released from the concrete with one simple movement. to this effect only a few wedges and safety pins need to be removed.

This unique system considerably simplifies the work and Substantially steps up construction speed. Besides, owing to the Absence of horizontal spacers/shores, a tunnel-shuttering of Aarding Allows a completely unobstructed passage, with all inherent advantages.

The repositioning of the tunnel-shuttering can also be done without extra auxiliary equipment. The lower part of the knee-struts and the deck panel are connected with each other by means of a steel rope. As soon as the crane starts lifting the shuttering, the struts and the deck automatically return to their ‘up’-position, which subsequently will be secured by means of the wedges and safety pins.

Less Investment
A tunnel-shuttering of Aarding has been designed as such that the overall dimensions can be modified quite simple, with a minimum numbers of fit-in sections. That is why a tunnel shuttering of Aarding can be used and re-used in practically any project, regardless the required dimensions. For special purposes the height can be varied by replacing the lower section of the walls by higher segment of different dimensions. Owing to this any wall height between 2310 and 3000 mm can be realized within the modulized system. The span is also variable, since in the center of the deck a fit-in section can be placed or left out. The minimum span of the standard form (without fit-in section) is 3970 mm, the maximum span can be 7200 mm.

The length (and also the hoisting weight of the shuttering) is also variable, since the various tunnel segments can be simply coupled, as per the requirements. The standard length of a tunnel section is 2400 mm; shorter segments can be supplied up to any desired specification.

Tailored Made
For special, general bigger projects, Aarding can supply tailor-made tunnel shuttering. Thanks to our great know-how and practical experience we may say that Aarding is able to deliver the most appropriate shuttering for any project, no matter how complex. Including all time-saving and energy-saving benefits automatically integrated by Aarding in their system.

Service
Unforeseen delays cost a lot of money. Builders using the Aarding shuttering, hardly, if ever, will be confronted with such cost. But should rapid repairs be necessary, you can always rely on extremely quick assistance, whenever and wherever it may be.

Aarding has permanently available a stand-by team, which in most cases can solve the minor problems on the spot. For more extensive repairs the set-up of the Aarding organization is so flexible tat assistance be rendered even at night, should this be required, to minimize the loss of production time on the job-site. Also for re-assembly, after location, of a complete shuttering and for periodical cleaning operations or elimination of imperfections you can rely on a speedy and efficient service from Aarding.
