slipforming (but probably not here - see below) Explanation: Where concrete is truly cast in "getto continuo", the term normally used is slipforming, which is common for minor items such as road kerbs or concrete safety barriers. However, in the particular case in question, "getto continuo" is probably used improperly, the emphasys being on the use of (hydtraulic) self climbing formfork. In major works (bridge pylons, core of tall buildings), the work cycle is centered around a (relatively fast) sequence of casting, fast curing and moving the self climbing formwork. Typically, in tall buildings, a new floor is added every four days. See the many examples that may be found by searching for "climbing formwork" |
