Formwork Processor

Formwork Processor played a crucial role in delivering high-quality formwork and concrete features for the Forma & Contra project, bringing structural excellence and architectural innovation to the development. With a decade of industry experience, the company specialises in reinforced concrete structures, modular formwork systems, and intricate architectural finishes, ensuring durability, safety, and aesthetic appeal.

For this project, Formwork Processor was responsible for all formwork and concrete features, including: planter boxes on the rooftop and courtyard, pitched concrete roofs on the townhouses, concrete tapers under balconies to hide step-downs, BBQ areas on the rooftop, and all beams and walls within the basement.

“This project required precise execution due to the complexity of its concrete elements,” said Raymond Jabbour, from Formwork Processor. “From curved planter box upturns to intricate concrete skylights, our team overcame significant challenges to achieve a flawless architectural finish.”

The angled concrete roofs and curved façade elements presented technical difficulties, requiring meticulous formwork design and skilled craftsmanship. “One of the biggest challenges was delivering the off-form concrete planter box upturns and angled roof structures,”Jabbour explained. “These features demanded high precision and extensive labour to ensure they complemented the overall architectural vision.”

Formwork Processor are working on a number of other projects, including Skyview, Castle Hill for Aland (600 units), Zetland 888 Bourke Street for TQM (350 units), Wentworthville for OGP (60 units), Lidcombe for MNR GROUP (50 units), Luminar for TQM (80 units), Addison Road mixed use development for TQM and Auburn for Meteay Development (60 units).

With a 40-person workforce, including subcontractors led by Director Samir Tawk, Formwork Processor ensured smooth project execution, integrating strength, efficiency, and superior finishing techniques. Their expertise in high-rise and large-scale developments continues to set industry benchmarks, reinforcing their reputation as a leading provider of advanced formwork solutions in Australia.

Operating since 1948, SVC Products is an ISO-accredited Victorian manufacturer of high quality, industry-compliant precast concrete products made to suit multiple applications across civil and landscape construction.

SVC’s unique approach to precast concrete was recently showcased in Mirvac’s Liv Aston building project in Melbourne’s Northbank precinct. The team manufactured and supplied 78 large-format precast concrete planters for the building’s façade, each weighing about 5 tonnes. This project, which amounted to 390 tonnes of precast concrete, is yet another demonstration of their expertise in handling large-scale projects.

The manufacturing process for these planters began in late 2022, with deliveries completed by mid-2023. SVC faced significant challenges, including labour shortages due to COVID-19 and necessary design adjustments to meet weight constraints. Despite these hurdles, SVC re-engineered the planters to be lighter, with each floor featuring three smaller units installed side-by-side.

This project highlights SVC’s capability to innovate and adapt. Despite the complexity and typical use of precast products at ground level, SVC successfully produced precast units that were feasible for installation on a high-rise building, demonstrating their proficiency in precast concrete fabrication.

Beyond Liv Aston, SVC’s portfolio includes high-rise projects like the Aurora Melbourne Central and Shadow Play apartment towers. SVC supports various infrastructure projects, and are currently working on bespoke signage for ANZAC Station, outdoor furniture for Parkdale Secondary College, and bollards for Luna Park and the Shrine of Remembrance.

SVC is a leader in precast concrete manufacturing and is committed to delivering high-quality, innovative solutions. Specialising in precast concrete fabrication, SVC offers both standard and custom-made products tailored to meet unique project requirements. Their experienced team provides dedicated customer support throughout the design-to-delivery process, ensuring final product solutions satisfy all project criteria for quality, performance and durability.
