What’s involved in slip form concrete paving?

Slip form concrete paving is a streamlined process where a machine continuously lays down concrete while moving along a predetermined path. This method eliminates the need for manually setting and removing wooden or metal forms, pins and strings. The machine itself shapes and compacts the concrete into the desired form as it dispenses it, ensuring a consistent and smooth finish. This technique not only speeds up construction but also enhances the durability and uniformity of the paved surface, making it ideal for projects like roads and pathways.

Why choose slip form concrete paving?

• Enhanced durability and load capacity — Concrete paved with the slip form method exhibits exceptional durability and an increased ability to withstand heavy loads. This makes it ideal for high-traffic areas such as highways and city roads.

• Reduced construction time — One of the most significant advantages of slip form paving is its ability to expedite the construction process. Since the form moves continuously, there is a constant supply of concrete, which means projects can be completed faster, reducing labour costs and minimising disruption to traffic.

• Improved surface smoothness — The continuous pouring and shaping process ensures a smoother surface, which is crucial for the longevity and maintenance of pavement. A smoother surface reduces vehicle wear and tear, enhancing fuel efficiency and safety.
