climbing formwork

The main shaft was built using climbing formwork.

They were manufactured with a climbing formwork.

The two halves of the arch were cast using similar climbing formwork, with concrete provided via a cable conveyor.

Climbing formwork is a special type of formwork for vertical concrete structures that rises with the building process.

Climbing formwork (formwork that climbs up the rising building during the construction)

Since then EFCO has developed advanced wall, slab and climbing formwork.

The climbing formwork structure normally does not only contain the formwork itself, but also usually provides working space / scaffolds for construction crews.

Climbing formwork (self-climbing) - In this type of formwork, the structure elevates itself with the help of mechanic leverage equipment (usually hydraulic).

EFCO is also in a leader in self climbing formwork with its Power Tower formwork.

Various types of climbing formwork exist, which are either relocated from time to time, or can even move on their own (usually on hydraulic jacks, required for self-climbing and gliding formworks).

The construction of the rectangular concrete core was subcontracted to Byrne Bros (Formwork) Ltd, who used the PERI ACS self climbing formwork system.

While relatively complicated and costly, it can be an effective solution for buildings that are either very repetitive in form (such as towers or skyscrapers) or that require a seamless wall structure (using gliding formwork, a special type of climbing formwork).

Climbing formwork (crane-climbing) - in this type of climbing formwork, the formwork around the structure is displaced upwards with the help of one or more cranes once the hardening of the concrete has proceeded far enough.
