Success with Self-Performance: Slip-Form

How did we complete concrete for a more than 400-foot-tall tower in 56 days? In partnership with thyssenkrupp Elevator, we used an innovative self-performance technique, slip-form construction. The process enabled our team to complete the work in 56 days of continuous slip-form operation, plus three days for crane jumps.
With 18 elevator shafts, this is the tallest test tower in the nation. It will be used for trials of new concepts and product pilots.

Helped build two of these roughly the same size and height in Sussex New Brunswick, Canada to be used as head frames for a new potash mine. I like how you guys broke the shifts into 12 on and 24 off with 3 crews. We did it with 2 crews and 12 hr shifts. Kept pouring one night right through a post tropical storm with over 100mm of rain and 100km hr winds and completed each one in under 40 days apiece. . Before the mine even started to produce potash the price per ton plummeted and the mine closed and never reopened… a 3 billion dollar catastrophe.
