Construction – Three courses of 4 ' high forms are used. The silo or pedestal is constructed by jumping and reseting the lower 4 ' course of forms on the top set forms to a position for concrete placement. After the walls are completed, the platform will then function as a working platform when construction the roof or any internal work. The Jump-form system is capable of construction silos for bulk storage and pedestals for elevated water tanks.
Once the walls are completed, the platform functions as a working area for the roof construction or internal work. The jump-form method of construction permits non-continuous work — so costly overtime, multiple-shift labor premiums, and night lighting can be eliminated.
Uses – This system is capable of constructing silos for the storage of all bulk materials, unloading tubes for bulk material stockpiling, water tanks, vertical shafts, and circular building cores.
With a jump-form constructed silo, the material an easily be filled and /or unloaded in a variety of methods. Some examples: |
