SlipForm Work

One of the great things about concrete is you can use formwork to create a variety of different structures. There are various methods of doing this including jumpform and slipform work. At JSR Limited we have a lot of experience with the latter. As a result we can provide services for a wide array of needs.

VERTICAL PROCESSES

Slipform is very important for erecting vertical sections such as reinforced concrete cores, lift shafts, stairwells, or towers. It is self-contained so can allow fast set-up. More importantly the formwork does not require as much crane time during construction. This makes it more cost effective.

The great thing about slipform is it is very stable and does not put pressure on the building or permanent works. The formwork is self-supporting so the system itself supports the weight. In addition it can suit any core shape.

OTHER BENEFITS

There are several other reasons why people rate slipform work very highly. Firstly it has the potential to offer very high production rates. This is important and can cut costs on a project. Secondly, the system offers a selection of different working platforms. As a result it can be an integral part of the build process. Finally, some formwork systems make it easier to create towers or cores that taper.

SAFETY

Slipform systems are generally very safe. The systems can include handrails, guards and even wind shields. These all protect people who are working on a project. Because a system reduces the amount of scaffolding that is necessary on the site, it reduces congestion. This in turn can improve safety. Most importantly, the formwork is robust to ensure it can support the loads.

If you are building a structure that is more than seven storeys tall it is economical to choose slipform work. JSR Limited is happy to speak with you about your project and if this is the right option for you. If you go ahead we can handle installation and offer the very best support throughout.
