Slipform International

In the early 1960's RMD identified the need for a fast method of constructing tall structures and introduced Slipform. Since that time the system has been continuously developed and has been employed on a wide variety of projects throughout the world.

P.C. Harrington Contractors recognised the benefits and potential of Slipform construction techniques and so acquired the Slipform operation from RMD in June 2001 and formed Slipform International.

Structures have ranged in height from 8 or 9 metres to more than 200 metres and from a simple plan shape to the most complex. Tapering structures such as chimneys, bridge piers and telecommunication towers are now common applications.
Standard modular equipment is utilised wherever possible but the system can be adapted to accommodate specific requirements. Special forms can be fabricated for particular project requirements. For service cores and some other applications it can be possible to operate on an intermittent dayshift basis achieving up to 3.5m in height per day. Our technical staff will advise and help you choose the most practical and economical application for your project.
