Construction of reinforced concrete structures requires very specialized equipment and field construction experience. ICC Commonwealth offers the capability to integrate sophisticated design technology with modern fabrication and erection techniques to deliver the highest levels of quality and performance for concrete chimneys, silos, cooling towers, wind pedestals, solar towers, LNG tanks and many other reinforced concrete structures.
Slipform Equipment
ICC Commonwealth uses our own sets of slipform systems that include a hydraulic jacking system, formwork material, yokes and required decks. With our equipment we can customize the shape of the structure, including cylindrical, conical, tapered, straight, variable and with architectural relief patterns.
Slipform Construction
Slipform construction is well suited to concrete structures that are very tall or have very large diameters, and on projects with accelerated schedules. With this method, concrete is poured continuously, 24/7 if necessary, into a single form that is steadily elevated to create the concrete column. An integrated hydraulic jacking system raises the formwork, controls the shell taper and wall thickness, and uses lasers to constantly monitor alignment. The slipform method features safe and fast execution with work performed on an around-the-clock basis, is free from joints, and is designed and built according to our customer’s unique requirements.
Slipform Advantages
Slipform construction provides the customer with the quickest concrete construction method available. This technique is a reliable and safe construction process that does not require the continuous dismantling and re-assembly of forms, which offers critical advantages regarding schedule and space requirements. ICC Commonwealth has the specialized experience required to execute the highly technical planning and execution of slipform structures.
