ABOUT K.U.S FORMWORK & SCAFFOLDING
K.U.S Formwork & Scaffolding, founded in 2010, specialises
in the sales & rental of Formwork & Scaffolding systems.
K.U.S Formwork & Scaffolding offers a comprehensive range
of Formwork & Scaffolding systems, including Modular
Scaffolding Systems (Ringlock System, Cuplock System &
Kwikstage System) as well as the Conventional Scaffolding
Systems (Frame System & Tubular System)
While focusing mainly on the construction industry for the
various building & civil infrastructure projects initially, K.U.S
Formwork & Scaffolding have moved aptly into supplying the
marine industry, which involves ship-building and repairing;
the chemical industry, which deals with power plants and
refineries; and the events management industry, which
specialises in erecting staging and seating.
With the added emphasis on efficiency and productivity of
the construction industry in Singapore in recent years, K.U.S
Formwork & Scaffolding has also invested into researching
and conducting in depth studies into the various Formwork
Systems globally, as part of the expansion plans to provide
an alternative to the conventional formwork methods.
The Aluminium Integrated Panels (AIP) System was thus
identified and developed. This will also be the first of many
Formwork Systems that will be launched in the near future.
As a major supplier in the market, K.U.S Formwork &
Scaffolding is committed to deliver competitive and quality
products with a flexible business model through their rental
and buyback program, providing clients with an alternative
upon completion of their projects.

 K.U.S MONOSET

K.U.S Monoset Aluminium Formwork has attained band 2 with a total of 14 points in constructability under Buildable Design
Appraisal System (BDAS) assessment which is conducted by Building and Construction Authority (BCA) in Singapore. This
signifies the highest banding awarded for vertical and horizontal integrated small panelled.
Buildable Design Appraisal System (BDAS) developed as a means to measure the potential impact of a building design on the
usage of labour. There are 5 bands assigned to both vertical formwork and horizontal formwork. Each band is allocated with
different points to reflect the relative efficiencies of various system formwork. This banding of system formwork is evaluated
through a productivity assessment conducted by formwork system suppliers or builders and witnessed by BCA.

client’s understanding. Manufacturing drawing will then
be prepared for fabrication and layouts plans for on-site

SPEED
Due to its monolithic system, construction speed increases and it takes around 8 to 10 days to construct a single floor. With
same number of workers, contractor will expect the output to be double or triple when converts from conventional formwork
system to aluminium formwork system.

COST REDUCTION
Due to its easiness of assembly, skilled workers are not required and monolithic concreting results in crack free structure.
As such, extra repairing costs are saved and initial cost is further reduced with high repetitive usage.

QUALITY & DURABILITY

TRAINING PROGRAMME ON SITE SUPERVISION Having Aluminium alloy (A6061-T6) as the material yield its repetitive use up to 250 times. Moreover, due to the smooth
surfaces and dimensional accuracy in the panels, plastering and remedial works are not required after concrete casting.
