Abstract
The construction industry is considered to be one of the rapidly growing industries of India. So, to fulfil such a vast and constantly increasing construction demand the labour productivity is the key factor to maintain client satisfaction, attract investment, and contribute by helping the nation with its economic growth. Aluminium system formwork is one economical and technical approach to effectively maintain productivity of labours on site. Various research studies have been conducted to compare different types of formwork system and the advantages and disadvantages of each type of formwork system are examined in terms of cost, duration, quality etc. There is no standard procedure to put a number on the efficiency of the site labour, using aluminium formwork system in the industry. So, the primary objective of this study is to find the practical labour productivity in aluminium formwork system and the factors affecting the labour productivity. For this, research is performed on Purva Silversands project, Pune, Maharashtra (Residential Project). Labour productivity and its variations could generate a greater impact on the project economy and project duration. Low productivity can decrease profitability and increases construction cost. This case study shows that the actual productivity observed is less than the target productivity in some of the months, the reasons for variation in target and actual productivity is examined and the factors that hamper the productivity mostly are natural (rain), improper management and any breakdown of machinery. Whereas, the maximum productivity achieved in a month is 10.36 sqm per man per day.
Highlights
S, et al (2015), published a paper that contains cost and duration analysis of a building constructed by MIVAN formwork building and Conventional formwork building The buildings are of G+12 floors and area of both the buildings are 772 Sqm with 2.95 m as the height of each floor.The analysis focuses on comparision of both the buildings with respect to cost and duration aspect
Comparison between different kinds of formworks with aluminium formwork system has been performed in past few decades, detailed study has been performed between many types of formwork on various aspects like cost, quality, duration but none of research has emphasized on labour productivity in aluminium formwork system
The case study of my project is performed on Purva Silversands project which consists of 13 no’s G+22 floors Residential building which is constructed using aluminium formwork and 1 no’s G+10 floor Residential building which is constructed using conventional formwork which is located at Keshav Nagar road, Mundhwa, Pune, Maharashtra411036
