Water management is a crucial aspect in new construction and landscaping projects. Drainage is a factor in the construction of new and existing builds, and in the field of hardscaping. Alunia Construction specialises in drainage installation services. With a strong focus on groundworks, our company excels in clearing land, excavating and laying drainage systems to address possible issues related to foul and surface water run-off, like pooling and flooding.

Our Process

A Crucial Element in Construction

Formwork plays a pivotal role in reinforced concrete construction, serving as a temporary mould or framework that shapes and contains the concrete until it reaches the desired strength.

The primary purpose of formwork is to provide structural support for foundations, slabs and concrete basements. We ensure concrete cures evenly and achieves the desired shape and specification.

Alunia Construction understands the importance of formwork and employs skilled professionals who meticulously execute each stage of the process.

RC Formwork

When it comes to reinforced concrete foundations, we genuinely excel in the design and construction of formwork systems which meet with the agreed specification for the project. Formwork is implemented during the later stages of the groundworks phase once the site is prepared and levelled.

What we can provide for you is an inclusive service where our reliable contractors do everything, from clearing the site to pouring concrete into the formwork.

We carefully consider soil conditions, load-bearing capacities and our own environmental impact to determine the most suitable formwork solution.

Shuttering & Steel Fixing

Shuttering and steel fixing go hand in hand with formwork. Shuttering refers to the process of creating the mould (or the framework) using plywood, timber or metal panels. This keeps concrete contained to the desired area and to the correct dimensions after pouring ends and curing begins. Our company has an experienced shuttering team to ensure precise formwork assembly.

Steel fixing is the installation of reinforcing steel bars within formwork. These bars, or rebars, add more strength to reinforced concrete structures.

Alunia Construction meticulously positions and secures rebars, adhering to engineering specifications and the final design produced by our company. Synergy between formwork, shuttering and steel fixing ensures the structural integrity of reinforced concrete foundations, and RC walls and basements.
