80m Chimney at Didcot Power Station
Contractor: Birse Construction Ltd.

Chimneys of all configurations are ideal applications for the modern Slipform system. Reductions in both diameter and wall thickness can be readily accommodated. Similar economies can be achieved on relatively small chimneys including those with constant cross sections. Work of this nature has now been successfully carried out in many countries worldwide and in a wide range of conditions.
