Re: Concrete wall and Forming

There used to be a stall in the MC Home Depot at the corner of Meralco Ave and Ortigas Ave that offered reinforced concrete systems. I think though their primary product was for flooring but I do know they also do walls. They have a model structure the corner of Manggahan (not sure if this is the correct name of the street) and Ortigas Ave Extn.. This junction is also called Rosario. You can miss the structure, it is two stories on the West bound side of Ortigas.

OK Boss
Nadadaanan ko yan pag nagpupunta ako megamall
pero di ko pa nasubukan pumasok.
Sana merong mumurahin na nagpaparenta kasi sa homedepot
malamang mahal dyan.
Pero try ko pa rin tingnan.

Thanks

Re: Concrete wall and Forming

Hello mga Bossing
May nabasa ako ba mas ok daw ang reinforced concrete wall kesa hollow blocks,mas mtibay at mas mtipid.
Meron nba nito sa atin s pinas?
San may nagpaparent ng mga forms? kasi balak ko ito sa bahay n pagagawa ko.

Thanks

I personally don't think that a reinforced concrete wall will ever be cheaper than CHB walls on a per square meter basis, It will however be a different story if on whole structure basis. It can come cheaper if columns and beams will be eliminated and the RC wall will serve as a shear/load bearing wall, oh and done repetitively to recover the cost of formworks. This is the technology of choice among low to medium cost condominium developers of late.

Re: Concrete wall and Forming

I'm not a contractor so better if you wait for the pros on this forum to chime in. I do see scaffolding for rent here and there. The one that comes to mind is the locate just before the Guadalupe bridge on the side of EDSA going towards Baclaran.

I'm not so sure if the one I mentioned earlier is expensive or not. I suggest you look them up and decide for yourself.
