Rethinking vertical safety

As urban skylines continue to rise, one company is reimagining safety from the ground up. Their philosophy redefines formwork and protection systems not as structural afterthoughts, but as engineered lifelines — combining modular efficiency, wind-load resilience, and compliance-driven innovation.

What is your core philosophy when it comes to designing formwork and protection systems?

At our core, designing formwork and protection systems for high-rise buildings is about more than just components; it's about safeguarding lives, boosting productivity, and ensuring full compliance with regulations. Our philosophy rests on several foundational principles. Firstly, safety is always paramount. We prioritise human life above all else, designing our systems to prevent falls, contain debris, and establish a secure working environment throughout every construction phase, from the podium to the very top floor. Secondly, we champion engineered precision. Recognising that each project presents unique structural and logistical demands, we are committed to providing custom-engineered solutions. These are meticulously calculated to withstand significant wind loads, dynamic construction activities, and site-specific risks. Thirdly, we are unwavering in our dedication to compliance with both global and local standards. All our systems are designed not only to meet but also to exceed international safety benchmarks, while strictly adhering to Indian building codes and construction site safety regulations. Ultimately, we recognise that speed and simplicity are crucial in high-rise construction. Our systems are engineered for rapid deployment, efficient crane-assisted lifting, and quick repositioning, ensuring that project delays are minimised while upholding the highest safety standards.
