COFFOR Concrete Construction System, Geneva, Switzerland

				1 / 2
Fast placing	COFFOR is 2 to 3 times faster than other traditional construction systems. As a general rule, it takes 18 to 29 hours to install and pour 1m3 for column and beam while it takes 3 to 4 hours with COFFOR walls. Connect to a video showing a ‘'race'' between COFFOR and masonry. The 2-story building (380 m²) was built in 7 days with COFFOR vs. 32 days for the masonry house. It may take a few minutes to download the video. Be patient.		Concreting with a pump
	No stripping as COFFOR stays in the wall. Possibility to pour a whole floor in one pass: reduces preparation time and eliminates lost ime in rotating standard formwork.		Concreting with a pump

	Time spent placing thermal insulation is eliminated: COFFOR INSULATED already integrates the insulation material - eliminating the necessity to come back to place it. All types of finishing bond exceptionally well due to the COFFOR herringbone rib lath.

Anti-cracking welded wire is no longer necessary: given the presence of the C profile, the rib lath, their proper bonding to the concrete and their respective steel section, the anti-cracking welded wire ( a requirement with traditional waterproof formwork) is eliminated. In addition, the rapid elimination of excess water decreases concrete shrinkage, dramatically reducing the occurence of cracks.
