Abstract

Throughout the years, the construction of multi-story building has grown exponentially. To keep up with this progress, several innovations of formworks have been developed that will provide an efficient means of construction. One of these innovations is the Crab 60 table formwork. In this study, the steps in the operation of the Crab 60 table formwork of DMCI in the Marco Polo Ortigas Project were identified and evaluated using the Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis. Criticality matrices were done to identify the critical failure modes in the use of the table formwork. It was identified that the improper maintenance of the formwork components and the incompetence among workers are the common causes of failures in the operation. Even if the design of the Crab 60 table formwork is said to be safer, proper handling should be done to lessen the risks. This analysis provides a systematic risk management and may be used as a checklist in the operation of the Crab 60 table formwork in future projects. It was observed in the results that most of the failure modes have medium criticality, which means that the use of the table formwork is acceptable. Also, more risk management should be done on the flying of the table formwork.
