Abstract:
Coordination is the key to the successful completion of any slipform project. The coordination effort must be initiated by the owner, architect, engineer, general contractor, and slipform contractor during the preliminary phase of the project. This effort must be actively supported during design and construction the core by all involved contractors. Planning and scheduling are much more critical than normal . if the full economic savings from the slipform are to b realized. Slipform construction can be adapted numerous sizes and shapes of cores through tion of the coordination efforts supplied by the utiliza team members. [Author] various
