The Formless Method includes several types: SSS Formless, which is easy to assemble and reduces construction time; Thinning Formless, using materials like bark-covered logs and halved wood; and Rinritsu Formless, applied to the wall surfaces of concrete weirs and retaining walls.

Features of Kyosei

Kyosei focuses on four key areas:

Kyosei prioritize functionality, ease of construction, and harmony with nature to meet widespread needs cost-effectively.

Technology at Kyosei

Kyosei's lightweight and easy-to-process steel permanent formwork, the "SSS Formless Method," can be handled on-site and features compact lifts up to 2 meters, reducing the need for frequent lift changes and concrete pours. This method saves costs by reducing the number of pours and associated expenses. The SSS Formless Method is ideal for companies looking to streamline lift changes.

Construction Examples and Applicable Structures

Kyosei's permanent formwork methods are used in structures such as impermeable erosion control dams, which stabilize and fix potentially collapsing embankments and soil. These structures often utilize locally sourced soil or cement-mixed materials. Wall materials vary based on site conditions and include steel sheet piles and concrete blocks. For poor foundation conditions, methods such as downstream gentle slopes and double steel sheet pile foundations are used to minimize excavation.
