Slipform Concrete
Slipform is a method of construction in which concrete is poured into a slow but continuously moving form.
As concrete is poured, the formwork is raised continuously at a speed which allows the concrete to harden sufficiently before it is exposed by the moving formwork. The setting characteristics and consistency of the concrete are closely monitored to achieve a continuous lift rate. Each project has its own unique set of concrete mixes specifically designed to suit the requirements of the type, size and speed of slip form and the ambient conditions at the time of construction.
- Lift shafts
- Silos
- Towers or chimneys
- Building cores
Learn about the specification of concrete and practical solutions to design requests. This webinar will address the specification of concrete in Ireland, concrete onsite testing, finishes and mix types. It will also address recommendations around the use of concrete in hot and cold weather. Finally, you will learn about the concrete services offered by Roadstone.
