Slipform systems
Slipform systems is the best way to build high vertical monolith
constructions. This method is used in building vertical structures:
high rise buildings, water towers, chimneys, TV towers etc. Unlike
traditional formwork systems, Slipform system is composed of plastic
panels. Slipform systems are build upon sliding principle. Dimensional
formwork that is adjusted to vertical monolith construction by
perimeter is lifted up by jack by the concreting process. Slipform
system’s main elements are: formwork panels, upper platform, working
platform (concrete surface control, finishing work), jack frames,
hydraulic jack. All the system’s elements are high quality products,
so its enable accurate and qualitative monolith construction’s
building process. System is equipped with leveling devises to
control its shape and dimentions.
Systems opportunities:
- Safety, no crane needed, no forms removing;
- Automatic operating system;
- Quick building process;
- Time and cost saving due to fast building method and small number
of workers;
- Easy to supervise concrete quality and steel reinforcement installation.
Concrete is poured into forms layer by layer, each layer is 20cm
in average. Interval between two pouring is about 30 minutes.
