Mangaluru: Westline imports modern South Korean construction form works for Westline Signature
Mangaluru: Westline Builders , which is building the proposed tallest tower in South India at Nanthoor Junction in Mangaluru has imported the sophisticated construction formwork technology from South Korea recently. This enables the firm to build a super fast construction at a very high-quality finish, a release from the company said.
The most important aspect of a successful structural construction is the formwork system. To ensure best quality and fast completion, we have imported formworks from a wellknown South Korean company Kumkang Kind. It is one of the major manufacturer of aluminium formwork across the world and is known for their highest construction standards which ensures the most trustful, secure, efficient and cutting edge of formwork system technology available on the market, said Nasir Mohideen, MD of Westline Builders to Vartha Bharati.
Mr Nasir explained this modern form of construction, " these aluminium formworks are made of high strength aluminium extrusion which, compared with the conventional formwork allows large but lightweight panels. This Formwork produces an unbeatable concrete finishing, lesser number of joints thereby reducing the leakages and enhancing the durability. The Shear Wall technology with complete Raft foundation and the box type construction provides more seismic resistance to the structure. Also strong built up of concrete needs no maintenance."
Mr Nasir Mohideen added "this form of construction is widely used overseas especially in high rise structures. In India, it is catching up but due to high costs of import, it deters the builders from implementing. So its the fight between the cost over speed and quality. This methodology of construction allows a single pour of wall, beam, column, slab and staircases. Furthermore, the prop-head system will allow dismantling the slab panels without removing the props. Thus, achieving unsurpassed construction speed due to the light weight of forms and monolithic construction methodology for concreting. In the case of our project, Westline Signature, around 2.5 to 3 typical floors per month is planned to achieve. The structural work in these floors shall finish at once and up to 95% including clean surface walls which surpasses plastering finishes. Imagine it as a huge mould for the entire floor"
Further, he added "The advantage of Westline Signature over similar types of aluminium for work constructions is that in here you can easily merge flats on sides as well as top or bottom. That's mostly absent in similar constructions"
Westline Signature is the proposed tallest tower in South India and has obtained all government approvals including RERA. The project has received accolades from construction fraternity and is deemed a feather in the hat for the prospective gauge of the city.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
