Spanish term or phrase: deslizado
"Al encofrado deslizante usado en la construcción de las torres se le adaptaron características especiales debido a las variaciones en la geometría de la estructura la cual es inclinada y de sección que se reduce en unos de sus lados desde 7,50 m hasta 4,00 m, mientras el otro se mantiene constante en 4,00 m.
Con los encofrados deslizantes se alcanzo un rendimiento promedio de vaciado de 0,25 m / hora y se ejecutaron 2.311 ml de deslizado y 28.402 m3 de concreto."
This is from a text on the construction of a bridge. Thus far I have translated "encofrado deslizante" as "slip form", but what would "deslizado" be in this context? Ideas? Thanks.
