Core Construction

Slipform

Slipform construction offers performances in terms of speed and accuracy of construction and the safe construction of high rise RC structures. Using Slipform techniques the vertical core elements of multi storey (more than 7 storey) RC frames may be removed from the floor construction cycle and away from the programme critical path. The speed of Slipform allows critical resources such as the tower crane to be freed up for other tasks in a much speedier manner than that allowed by other forms of construction. Slipform is normally programmed at a conservative rate of rise of 2.5m per 12 hour shift however this is frequently bettered by some considerable margin.

Climbing

CB Climbing Formwork is normally used for supporting large-sized, anchored wall formwork. The climbing unit consists of formwork, working platform, brackets with formwork carriage and strong-backs as well as a finishing platform. It can be moved very quickly by crane but does utilise crane time.

The range of ACS self-climbing variants for facades, building cores, shaft structures as well as inclined bridge pylons make the construction of high concrete structures extremely fast, cost-effective and safe. The climbing units comprising wall formwork and platforms are moved from floor to floor by means of integrated hydraulic systems. The efficient sequence of operations facilitate a very high level of productivity and exceptionally short cycle times. Simultaneous climbing of several climbing units ensures fewer leading edges thus resulting in increased workplace safety. It benefits from crane-independent operation.

The crane-jumped formwork for structures of any shape and inclination. Climbing formwork permits controlled, regular working cycles on all tall structures. It is extremely easy to set up, and can be tailored to meet a wide range of different requirements.
