| What we do We slipform safety barrier curb on bridges, highway median barrier, and curb and gutter on state and private projects. What is slipforming? The continuous poured, continuously formed, or slipformed construction method is a concrete construction technology that enables cast-in-place "flawless" (i.e. seamless) concrete members which have superior performance characteristics to piecewise construction using discrete elements because of the polymerizing characteristics of concrete . Slipforming was initially devised and utilized in the Interstate Highway building binge of the Eisenhower administration during the 1950s. In the method, concrete is laid down, packed, worked, and settled in place while the form itself, normally attached and part of a motive power producing machine which slowly 'slips it' along, moving it slightly ahead of the newly packed material exiting its trailing end, the front of which forms a new box form ready for more poured concrete with the fresh laid concrete closing the rear end of the moving slip form. |
