sliding formwork
HB50
formwork that is moved intermittently without being dismantled as concrete is placed and hardened
Movement is at a rate of about 150 mm per hour, faster in hot weather. The process provides smooth walls without construction joints but requires excellent site organization and considerable capital outlay for formwork, jacks, cranes, and the working platform which is raised with the formwork.
