Abstract:
A water tower was constructed at the Canning Vale plant of the Swan Brewery in Perth, Australia, to provide constant water pressure to the fully automated complex using slipformed cast-in-place concrete. The tower was designed to harmonize with the surrounding buildings and environment. The shaft was slip-formed in 13 placements each 3.6 m (11.8 ft) in height. The bowl was cast at ground level and lifted up to its final position using a system of hydraulic jacks and cables. [Author]
