Materras Oume Kogyo offers embedded formwork products such as "PIC Form." This formwork is made from steel fiber reinforced concrete panels with polymer impregnation, and the back is embedded with coarse aggregate, ensuring integration with on-site concrete casting.
Based in Nakano-ku, Tokyo, Materras Oume Kogyo manufactures and sells a variety of concrete products. They also provide design, construction, and contracting services for civil engineering projects, offering concrete technology consulting in these fields. Their main products include the embedded formwork PIC Form and other products made from porous concrete.
Materras Oume Kogyo contributes to creating comfortable urban environments with their technology solutions in materials like PIC (Polymer Impregnated Concrete) and porous concrete. PIC is a high-strength composite material used for embedded formwork and has a strong track record of performance.
Materras Oume Kogyo has extensive experience in civil engineering projects such as infiltration facility construction and roadside construction. PIC Form has been used in various applications, including the piers of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, demonstrating its versatility and effectiveness.
One effective way to reduce costs with formwork is by using system formwork. This material is expected to perform well in the civil engineering field. Since it can be installed without the need for highly skilled labor, it is being increasingly adopted as a lightweight and durable formwork solution.
We’ve selected the three most prominent formwork materials in the current market, featuring top manufacturers for each. Our comparison covers the industry standard for general use, the rising innovation in sustainability, and the powerhouse for heavy infrastructure.
