WHAT IS
REFURBISHMENT?
The life of a set of aluminium formwork is ideally 200 repetitions. After desired repetitions are completed based on project completion, the used formwork needs to be redesigned and refurbished as per new building design requirements. This ensures maximized cost effectiveness for the client, by minimizing or eliminating the need to buy new sets of aluminium formwork. At Cosmos, we have designed a special process of refurbishment to achieve this.

DRAWING
It involves looking at the old drawing and creating a new shell drawing. Then, a new modulation drawing is made that includes old & new material.
INSPECTION
Old material is sorted to be used for a new project. A bifurcation of damaged and well-conditioned panels is done, followed by checking for refurbishment.
CHIPPING
A device called chipper is used to remove concrete lumps from shortlisted panels and sections.
DIPPING
The chipped panels are dipped in a chemical tank to 100% remove the concrete sticking on the sides of the panels.
CLEANING
Using a powerful jet spray, the panel is washed and cleaned with water.
LEVELLING
Using a hydraulic press machine, the panel is straightened and undulations, if any, are removed.
CUTTING & WELDING
Using a standard welding machine, the damaged or cut part of the panel is welded.
BUFFING
The surface of the panel is now prepared to receive a lacquer coating, with the help of a buffing machine.
COATING
To achieve a smooth finish and easy removal of the panel, a lacquer coating is done using an air compressor, air pipe and paint gun.
BARCODING
Before handing over to the client, barcodes are stuck to the final product. The barcode carries the project code and site code.
HANDOVER & MOCKUP
Material is handed over room wise by barcode scanning. Based on hole matching, necessary modifications are done with provision of bracket holes.
CODING
A panel carrying the project name, element name, building name with site location, along with barcodes and QR scanners is put on the panel.
PACKAGING & TRANSPORTING
Based on concrete pour, packing list is prepared and the delivery is done at client site.
