Slipform

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Slipform construction is a method for building large towers or bridges from concrete. The name refers to the moving form the concrete is poured into, which moves along the project as the previously poured concrete hardens behind it. The technique has also been applied to road building as well.

It appears the first building to use the method was the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls, Ontario, which was completed in 1965. The technique was soon utilized to build the Inco Superstack in Sudbury, Ontario and the CN Tower in Toronto. It is the most common method for construction of tall buildings in Australia.
