Gangform is used as exterior wall forms in the most of apartments. Existing system forms developed for high-rise building, RCS and ACS, are too heavy and over-designed to be applied to general apartments, leading to higher costs. A more simplified rail Gangform(R/GF) is also used, but it depends entirely on T/C for the lift like Gangform. The T/C's legal inactivity time for moving Gangform and materials has increased, and the higher allowances have to be paid for overtime work, thus causing to the cost increase and time delay. Therefore, this study aims to develop an automated Gangform climbing system that can be used universally and economically in apartment houses. The use of the development system is expected to improve the safety of Gangform operations and reduce the workload on T/C.
