Slipform Productivity Rates

Hi Ismail,



We used slipform in construction of silos in the project that I’m currently working in.

Generally, you can operate the slipform 24/7 but you must have enough steel fixers, general labor, concrete finisher, rc concrete, etc..

You should also consider duration for assembly of the slipform.

I agree with Vishwas,



There is a limitation on how high Core Wall will go up.

Ismail,



Normally in the UAE (for lift cores), it is 3 mts per day. You wouldn’t get an approval from the consultant for anything more than that.



But, then, slipforms have to be coordinated with crane height - which in turn has to be synchronous with the slabs.



Ultimately, the corewall casting depends on the slab-to-slab cycle.



Happy Planning!
