Concrete tunnel form
Offsite residential construction, Glossary of terms, published by Buildoffsite in 2018, suggests that a concrete tunnel form is: ‘…an onsite construction method using in situ concrete poured into two half-tunnels to form the walls and ceiling of a room producing a monolithic structure. When this process is repeated, generally on a 24hr cycle, residential units can be created with great rapidity. This is a fast-track method of construction that is suitable for repetitive cellular projects.’
