Where industrialisation of construction meets innovation – Outinord formwork systems redefine project excellence

In this interaction, Jignasu Mehta walks us through Outinord’s formwork solutions and how their systems spearhead construction quality, efficiency, and worksite safety.

Can you provide an overview of your company’s expertise in formwork solutions and the range of services you offer?
Outinord, a French brand, is a leading formwork designer, manufacturer, and supplier with over 7 decades of experience. We operate in more than 100 countries and have covered over 12 million built dwellings. Our service range includes tunnel forms for walls and floor casting, table forms for economic floor construction, wall form systems for high productivity under optimal safety conditions, and column forms for rectangular and square architectural columns. Beyond equipment supply, we also provide expert technical support, experienced technicians for supervision, safety checks, formwork conformity services, and certified training programs on practical implementation methods.

What innovative formwork systems does Outinord offer, and how do they enhance efficiency and safety in construction projects?
We offer a comprehensive range of specialised formwork systems tailored for different construction sectors. Our flagship tunnel formwork system is designed for residential and high-rise buildings, casting load-bearing concrete walls and elevated slabs in a single monolithic pour to achieve exceptional quality at accelerated speeds. Our tailored offering for parking structures and podiums is the Table Form System, which The large, pre-assembled formwork units form complete bays of suspended floor slabs, making them mobile and easy to install. Our wall form and column form solutions are easy to install and versatile, with adaptable functionality that helps speed up the construction of support and architectural columns. Column forms are capable of completing eight columns daily with just six workers. Our Pier and Pier Cap Systems offer tie-rod-free, cast-in-place pier formwork with adjustable options for infrastructure projects, enabling customers to use a single mould for various sizes. Our specialised formwork is custom-built to suit client requirements. Outinord’s safety platform is part of our formwork system designed for construction projects, prioritising worker safety and reliability. These forms are engineered for cast-in-situ construction, offering comprehensive solutions and specialised safety platforms that ensure secure working conditions during concrete pouring.

Could you walk us through the quality control processes that you follow?
We maintain quality through rigorous material inspection; manufacturing process controls that include dimensional accuracy checks and welding quality verification, comprehensive load testing and safety evaluations, detailed documentation for traceability, and ISO 9001 certification.

How do your solutions facilitate cost-efficient construction?
Our technological advancements, achieved over several years, have enabled us to offer the most industrialised, cost-effective method of construction. We integrate advanced technologies, such as tunnel formwork and wall formwork systems, which offer significant time-saving benefits during formwork stripping. Our technology-driven solutions help reduce labour dependency and accelerate project completion while maintaining quality standards.

How does Outinord balance cost-effectiveness, quality, and safety in its formwork solutions?
We achieve cost-effective formwork solutions through our innovative design and efficient construction methods. Our tunnel form system, for example, provides a 10 per cent saving in overall construction costs and a 25 to 30 per cent reduction in time while maintaining high standards.

We prioritise worker safety through the use of specialised safety platforms and conduct regular quality checks on these platforms. We provide comprehensive training programs and technical support to ensure proper implementation. This approach delivers “excellent construction solutions that are cost-effective and time-efficient while upholding the highest standards of durability and safety.”
