Features & Benefits

The fastest method of constructing vertical structures.
Rate of rise can be 7-8m per day, (24 hour slide) or, 2.5-3m per day (day shift only) resulting in reduced construction periods and consequent cost savings.

No construction joints are necessary and through ties are not used.
Water retaining structures and nuclear structures benefit from these features of Slipform construction.

The modern Slipform system has been developed to accommodate the requirements of the most complicated of structures.
Openings, tapering profiles, reductions in wall thickness and large embedments can be accommodated. The method can now be applied with benefit to a broad range of structures of varying complexity.

Tall or repetitive applications.
The use of Slipform results in significant cost benefits when compared with traditional formwork and / or jumpform systems.

Inherent efficiency.
These are derived from concentrating plant, material resources and labour for a relatively short period - resulting in cost and time benefits in both urban and remote area applications.

Given adequate plant, disruption to the Slipform process due to adverse weather conditions is unusual.
Programme requirements can be met in any but the most severe of weather conditions.
