Can anyone please help me with information regarding slipforming productivity rates.

If i am slipforming a lift core how many mts can i achieve per day (this would include the rebar fixing, shuttering for the boxouts/leaveouts, concreting and Slipping the form). Can i continue the slipforming operation without stoppages that is as continous operation?

In the case that it can be done without stoppages how many days would it take to slipform 115m ?

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.

Hi Ismail,

Pick up the phone and ask Sonia of JBR1 or Tara of JBR3 or

Riswan of DIFC Gate Village or

You can also check with Arabtec their whereabouts

Call BRM.

I agree with Vishwas,

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

Cheers,

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!
