Engineering Representation · Colombo, Sri Lanka
Colombo Engineering Works represents a small, deliberate portfolio of manufacturers in Sri Lanka — formwork and shoring systems with ninety years behind them, precision aluminium formwork, and organic waste management and bio-input systems. We are the appointed representatives for Altrad RMDK, Elpha Formwork and Omega EcoTech.
Every brand we carry was built by people who took a system seriously — the scaffolders of Aldridge who became a global temporary works house, the aluminium engineers of Xiamen, and the soil scientists of Coimbatore who set out to make organic waste useful again. From 97 Galle Road in Ratmalana, we bring those systems ashore and place them, with care, in the hands of the people who need them.
Founded in 1935 as the Mills Scaffold Company and today part of the Altrad Group, Altrad RMD Kwikform is a global house of formwork, falsework and ground engineering. Its systems have carried some of the world's most demanding structures through the moment before they could stand alone — from tunnels and cofferdams to highway viaducts and towers. Above ground or below it, the range is engineered for load, for repetition, and for the safety of the men working beneath it.

Aluminium Monolithic FormworkXiamen Elpha Metals sits within the Xiangyu Group, a Fortune Global 500 house of non-ferrous metals — which means its aluminium formwork begins upstream, at the metal itself. The system is built for monolithic concrete: light enough to strike and reset by hand, true enough to leave a face that needs little more than paint, and durable enough to repeat that cycle hundreds of times. Where a floor plan repeats, aluminium earns its keep. CEW represents the Aluminium Monolithic Formwork line in Sri Lanka.
Omega Ecotech was founded in 1999 by a team of environmental and agricultural scientists with a straightforward conviction: organic waste is a resource that has been mishandled. From its plants in Coimbatore and Pollachi the company makes aerobic composting media, bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides, and builds waste management systems that run at the scale of a household or a municipality. Its home solutions have been adopted under state waste programmes in Kerala.
Organic Waste ManagementA formwork house and a waste engineering house under one roof — which means the system that shapes the concrete and the system that handles what the development produces afterwards arrive from the same desk. A few ways our partners work together.
Temporary works for contractors and infrastructure projects: wall and slab formwork, falsework, heavy-duty shoring and ground engineering, with tailored design where the load case demands it.
Precision aluminium panel systems for monolithic concrete: light to strike and reset, true enough to leave a clean face, and built to repeat the cycle where a floor plan recurs.
Organic waste management for municipalities, institutions and agriculture: aerobic composting systems, bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides, with farm consultancy behind them.
We supply contractors, developers, municipalities and industry across Sri Lanka. For technical specification, project pricing or availability, reach out and we'll come back to you with the right partner's engineering behind the answer.
