Industry Sponsored Lab
Industry-Sponsored COSMOS Aluminium Formwork Laboratory
Department of Civil Engineering | Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s Institute of Technology (MMIT), Pune
To bridge the gap between academic theory and practical engineering, the Department of Civil Engineering at MMIT, Pune, in collaboration with COSMOS Aluminium Formwork, has established a state-of-the-art Industry-Sponsored Laboratory.
This joint initiative provides students with hands-on exposure to cutting-edge formwork techniques, preparing them directly for high-rise, mass housing, and rapid infrastructure construction.
Industry-Academic Collaboration & Objectives
| Objective | Description |
|---|---|
| Innovate | Advanced learning through real-world structural practice. |
| Learn | Curriculum aligned directly with current construction industry standards. |
| Practice | Hands-on training on actual formwork setups and live project schemes. |
| Excel | Developing career-ready engineers equipped with modern field expertise. |
Key Technical Features of COSMOS Aluminium Formwork
The industry-sponsored facility provides practical insights into why aluminum formwork is modernizing monolithic construction:
● High Precision System: Features a specialized punching system utilizing circular holes instead of slots for enhanced dimensional accuracy during assembly.
● Safety & Structural Integrity: Utilizes a lightweight, high-strength support system designed for fast assembly and safe monolithic concrete placement.
● High Reusability & Sustainability: A single set can be reused for over 200+ repetitions with proper cleaning, dramatically reducing construction waste and material cost.
● Superior Finish: Produces smooth, fair-finish concrete surfaces that minimize or eliminate subsequent plastering work.
