Located in Bulacan (Philippines), the Deparo Residences are buildings containing social housing that the government of the Philippines has sub-contracted through the National Housing Authority.

This social housing project in Bulacan consists of 29 buildings with 5 floors each, and approximately 370m2 per floor, and it will be replicated in various areas of the country over the next few years.

Alsina Filipinas has supplied over 3000m2 of Mecanoflex as formwork for the slabs, and 84 sets of Alispilar as formwork for the columns. With this amount of formwork equipment, the deadlines agreed by the contractor were met, achieving concreting cycles (including columns) of between 5 and 6 days.

Mecanoflex is a flexible formwork system, adaptable to any type of floor shape, no matter how complex. It uses two basic components: Multiple “U” support girder, and girder. Adapting to the work method used by Alsina’s customers for over 30 years, the system takes a step further by facilitating the interface between walls and hanging beams by allowing overlap both in the direction of the girders and in the direction of the beams.

On the other hand, Alispilar is a formwork that considerably improves the working method for the execution of standard columns in building. The system consists of a high-strength steel frame and a 12 mm phenolic plywood lining that gives it a higher quality concrete finish.
