Estruturas De Concreto Com Fôrmas Convencionais E Fôrmas Atex Brasil: Comparativo Da Produtividade Na Execução

This article presents a comparative analysis, of a technical and economic nature, between conventional wooden formwork and ATEX Brasil's industrialized formwork in the execution of reinforced concrete structures. The study focuses on aspects of productivity, cost, quality, and sustainability within the context of the State of Amazonas. This is an applied research study with a comparative approach, based on real data from construction projects. The results indicate that, although the conventional wooden system has a lower initial cost, it offers low reuse potential, requires longer assembly time, and generates significant material waste. On the other hand, ATEX Brasil's industrialized formwork, produced in high-density polymers, stands out for its faster assembly, reduction of cycle time by up to 40%, less physical effort for workers, and reuse capacity exceeding 100 cycles, providing a more advantageous overall cost-benefit ratio. Furthermore, the system contributes to the reduction of solid waste, improved ergonomics on the construction site, and compliance with safety and sustainability standards (NR-18 and PNRS). It is concluded, therefore, that under the logistical and climatic conditions of the Amazon region, the adoption of industrialized formwork constitutes a strategic alternative to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and boost the modernization of the regional construction industry.
