The last years saw further developments of slipforming technologies to respond to new geometrical requirements, thus significantly broadening the range of applications. 

A contribution to this development was the research into new heavy-duty concrete formulations that meet the special requirements of this slipforming technique.

The execution by means of slipforming is always monolithic, this means without cold joints. The infinite adjustment of the slipform even allows for a fluent transition from initially circular cross sections on the base of the structure to a square shape at the final height of the construction.

The erection of tower-like structures with an axis spatially inclined against the vertical is an absolute innovation and quantum leap in modern slipforming.

Because of their complex structural circumstances and construction geometry, ferro-concrete for oil and gas platforms require, to a large extent, a flexible formwork. It has to be capable of following an inclined sometimes curved spatial line.

With the help of this advanced conical slipforming technique, complex spatial structures can be precisely replicated.
