Gleitbau company produces slip formwork, meanwhile occupies a leading place in the international market for already 50 years, carrying out projects of varying degrees of complexity. All equipment is manufactured in Austria, in the company’s own workshop. There is a warehouse also in Russia (Moscow region) where a full-fledged complete formwork is ready for rent.
The main advantage of slip formwork (in comparison with standard adjustable one) is its continuous systematic movement for 24 hours a day, carried out by special hydraulic jacks. The formwork set is assembled immediately on the entire perimeter of the cross-section and rises to the very top of the structure without stopping and with no cold seams.
There are two types of formwork – conical and cylindrical, depending on the section of the structure. The technology developed by Gleitbau is suitable to be used in many types of monolithic reinforced concrete structures for industrial and civil purposes, such as:
- silos
- cooling towers
- tanks
- tower-type structures
- elevator shafts
- rigidity cores of high-rise structures, walls
- caissons
- Granaries
- Chimneys
- control towers
Advantages of sliding formwork Gleitbau:
- unique technology of Gleitbau slip formwork allows to achieve the maximum concreting speed (up to 10 m / day)
- continuous movement of the formwork system (24 / 7) ensures the absence of cold seams
- the system moves at a constant speed with the help of hydraulic lifts
- concreting can also occur at high wind speeds (up to 70 km / h)Execution of constructions of any cross-sections, including variable ones
- accuracy of the execution of vertical structures is controlled by lasers
- there is no need for scaffolding
- the period of use of the crane is significantly reduced
- personnel safety, comfortable conditions for concrete pouring is provided by a protective high-strength tarpaulin
- smaller number of workers and highly qualified specialists
