    What is slipform?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Slipform is a technique that facilitates the construction of tall and thin structures, chimneys, pillars and towers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\nSlipform is a construction technique we use when constructing a particularly tall and thin structure such as: the pillar of a very tall bridge, industrial chimneys, silos, and solar power towers (such as the ones made by Edytesa).\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How slipform works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This technique consists of rigid slipforming, which moves the item vertically at a rhythm of 5 to 20 cm\/h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Concrete is poured into the slipform in layers and, as it hardens, the slipform is slowly lifted by lifting devices (hydraulic jacks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The slipform is moved vertically, pushed by a hydraulic system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    All operations are performed from platforms placed at various levels of the structure. The platform levels are separated by approximately 3 meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The top level platform is used to pour concrete and set up vertical frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The intermediate-level platform is used to pour and vibrate concrete, set up frameworks, set up window and door frames, place embedded items (panels\u2026), among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Lower-level platforms (there is usually one, but there may be more) are used to run quality inspections and for finishing jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Advantages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It is a competitive system for high-altitude construction. Its cost is calculated per m\u00b2 and gradually reduces for very tall structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is very safe. Set up is carried out at the ground level. During the operational phase, set up\/tear down tasks at high levels are not necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Execution times are considerably faster. Setting up the structure, pouring concrete and other tasks are carried out simultaneously and continuously during various shifts as the mold rises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Slipform is advantageous in terms of its quality, finish, speed and costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Disadvantages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It requires specialized equipment. It is a continuous process that, except in exceptional circumstances, cannot be stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\nAll these characteristics are what make this technique the preferred one for very tall structures.\n\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/m-wysiwig>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":229417,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-228767","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nslipform - Edytesa<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Slipform is a construction technique for reinforced or prestressed concrete projects without cold joints, in which the processes of reinforcement, formwork, concrete pouring and ...\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/edytesa\/what-we-do\/slipform-edytesa\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"slipform - Edytesa\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Slipform is a construction technique for reinforced or prestressed concrete projects without cold joints, in which the processes of reinforcement, formwork, concrete pouring and ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/edytesa\/what-we-do\/slipform-edytesa\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"slipform - Edytesa","description":"Slipform is a construction technique for reinforced or prestressed concrete projects without cold joints, in which the processes of reinforcement, formwork, concrete pouring and ...","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/edytesa\/what-we-do\/slipform-edytesa\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"slipform - Edytesa","og_description":"Slipform is a construction technique for reinforced or prestressed concrete projects without cold joints, in which the processes of reinforcement, formwork, concrete pouring and ...","og_url":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/edytesa\/what-we-do\/slipform-edytesa\/","og_site_name":"Ferrovial","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ferrovial","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_site":"@ferrovial","twitter_misc":{"Est. reading time":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/edytesa\/what-we-do\/slipform-edytesa\/","url":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/edytesa\/what-we-do\/slipform-edytesa\/","name":"slipform - Edytesa","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/#website"},"datePublished":"2019-12-12T12:19:25+00:00","description":"Slipform is a construction technique for reinforced or prestressed concrete projects without cold joints, in which the processes of reinforcement, formwork, concrete pouring and ...","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/edytesa\/what-we-do\/slipform-edytesa\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-au","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/edytesa\/what-we-do\/slipform-edytesa\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/edytesa\/what-we-do\/slipform-edytesa\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Portada","item":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Edytesa","item":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/edytesa\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"What We Do","item":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/edytesa\/what-we-do\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Slipform- Edytesa"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-au\/","name":"Ferrovial","description":"Welcome to the Ferrovial's website, global operator of sustainable infrastructure.
