NEO-BEAM (Non-Removal Beam Form) Benefits

  • 01

    Economy

    No formwork fabrication
    processes required
    Minimal on-site labor
    through factory production
    Significant reduction
    in on-site indirect costs
    Reduced construction costs
    and shortened schedules

  • 02

    Construction
    Convenience

    Reduced dismantling
    processes (fewer personnel),
    Alleviates shortage of
    on-site storage space,
    No on-site fabrication required,
    Zone-based quantity management
    for on-site installation

  • 03

    Safety

    Reduced accidents due to
    eliminated dismantling work
    NEO-BEAM remaining
    in place provides
    structural reinforcement effect
    Equipment-assisted installation
    reduces on-site manpower

  • 04

    Assured
    Construction Quality

    Excellent workability, durability,
    and weather resistance
    Uniform concrete cover
    thickness achievable
    NEO-BEAM ribs
    can replace rebar spacers,
    ensuring rebar placement quality

  • 05

    Eco-friendliness

    Reduced stripping processes
    reduced construction noise and dusts
    Minimized constructions
    waste enabling a low-carbon,s
    eco-friendly method

01. Economic Effects

  • No need for
    formwork fabrication
    process

    Factory pre-production
    allows minimal
    on-site staffing

    Significant reduction
    in on-site
    indirect costs

    Construction
    cost savings

    Schedule shortening

  • Construction cost savings and schedule shortening

    ·  Material and labor cost savings via factory pre-production and reduced material loss

    Time Savings

    ·  Applying NEO-BEAM can shorten overall construction schedule by approximately 25%, and for beam work up to 50% reduction.

    ·  Simultaneous fabrication and installation further compress schedules.

    ·  Minimizes use of wooden formwork consumables.

02. Construction Convenience (continued)

  • On-site installation quantity management by zone (minimizes storage space)

  • No stripping process — personnel minimized

  • No waste generation — improved site cleanliness

  • The most difficult construction section in conventional construction methods is
    now constructed using NEO-BEAM

  • Applicable Column Pre-pour Methods

  • Pre-pouring of columns: compatible with NEO-BEAM

  • Simultaneous column pouring: compatible with NEO-BEAM

03. Safety

  • No need for formwork removal reduces accident rates

  • Equipment-assisted installation reduces on-site manpower

  • Lower manpower reduces accident occurrence

04. Construction Quality Assurance

    • NEO-BEAM ribs act as rebar spacers,
      ensuring rebar placement quality

    • Uniform concrete cover thickness achievable for rebar

    • Hot-dip galvanized steel plate (KSD3506-GI) and POSMAC neutral salt spray tests performed

  • When Using NEO-BEAM, Spacers Are Unnecessary

    ·   The ribs of NEO-BEAM act as concrete spacers so
    that uniform rebar cover thickness is possible.

    Durability & Corrosion Resistance

    ·  Hot-dip galvanized steel plate (KSD3506-GI) and POSMAC neutral salt spray tests performed

05. Eco-friendly

  • Factory-precast production reduces noise and dust on site, enabling a pleasant working environment.

  • Minimizes construction waste and reduces CO₂ emissions, enabling a low-carbon eco-friendly construction method.

NEO-BEAM vs. Conventional Wooden Beam Form — Comparison Table

Category Conventional RC Wooden Formwork NEO-BEAM (Non-Removal Beam Form)
Pre-construction coordination Requires extensive pre-work coordination Applicable to RC structures at any time
Material inspection Complex reuse inspection, formwork coating, yard management No material reuse inspection or verification procedures
Required manpower
(per 300㎡/day)
40+ carpenters 4–6 carpenters
Shoring installation Full shoring installed simultaneously with beams 30% pre-installation remaining 70% added before casting
Stripping work Mandatory high accident incidence during removal Non-removal no stripping work
Post-curing tasks Inspection and reuse processing required No separate inspection required remains as part of structure
Rain response Material damage risk; may prevent delivery Deliveries may be delayed; schedule can be flexibly adjusted
Site footprint Large material storage hinders passageways Minimal materials efficient workspace
Safety High accident risk during removal Lower safety risk due to non-removal method
Environmental impact Heavy use of hammers, high noise, dust, large waste output Low noise, low dust, minimal waste
Conclusion High cost / high risk / high manpower quality drop due to foreign worker mix Schedule reduced (avg. 30%–50%), labor cost reduced (80%–90%); improved safety and economics; lower union impact

NEO-BEAM Delivery & Standard Forms

Strut Types: U-type strut and HOOK-type strut can be applied (subject to contractor-supplied processed rebar conditions).

Welded Strut Installation: For ease of worker movement and rebar placement, U-shaped strut geometry is maintained and HD13 support struts are welded for lateral pressure resistance.

Hook-type Full-weld Option: To minimize field labor for strut installation, HOOK-type struts can be full-welded at rebar assembly.

For shape stability: install at intervals less than or equal to 500mm (remaining struts are part of the RC rebar works).

Standard NEO-BEAM delivery form
(rebar arrangement according to specification list)

Safety Note: For members with W ≤ 600mm, extra care is required when using HOOK-type struts.
