The Concept of Slipforms :
It eases the progression of concrete pouring during day and night while moving vertically within the Slip Form framework. It moves consistently and steadily towards the top from one part to another before the first mixture fully dries out to avoid sticking with the Slip Form’s body and to qualify the required structural strength. From the previous explanation, it’s clear that the accuracy of determining the Slip Form lifting rate is the sole reason for the success of this process and the aforementioned average rate ranges between 15-30 cm/hour.
