Nowadays, for the construction of tall and long structures such as silos, communication towers, shear cores of high-rise buildings, cooling towers, chimneys, ladder bases, tunnel floors, water channels, road surfaces, and similar structures that previously required heavy scaffolding around them, a method known as sliding formwork is utilized.
By using the sliding formwork method, much of the surrounding scaffolding is eliminated, resulting in increased work execution speed and an enhanced appearance for the project.
The sliding formwork system is a construction method where continuous concrete pouring takes place and the formwork moves upward continuously. As the concrete is poured, the formwork moves vertically at a constant speed, allowing the concrete to harden before it is released from the bottom of the form.
Sliding formwork is cost-effective for structures over 7 stories (30 meters) high, such as bridges and towers. It is the fastest method for constructing vertical reinforced concrete structures but can also be used for horizontal structures like walkways.
Streamlined processes that deliver speed, safety and superior quality.
Continuous concreting delivers unmatched speed for vertical structures.
Reduced dependency on heavy lifting equipment throughout the cycle.
Eliminates the need for extensive external scaffolding systems.
Fewer working-at-height exposures for site personnel.
Optimized labor requirements with streamlined workflows.
Adaptable to complex geometries including tapered sections.
