PROCEDURE
Planning
Prior to slip forming a meticulous planning shall be carried out e.g. personnel’s, plant, equipment and
concrete placing method, concrete mix design, initial setting time, sliding speed, concrete production etc.
All personnel engaged on the construction of Silos or any other structure using the slipform method shall be
fully qualified & competent and skilled labor (refer to man power requirement chart attached).
Page: 3 of 12
SLIPFORMING
Assembly of Slipform
6.3.1.1 To facilitate assembly of the forms, a 50mm (2”) wide ledge on either side of the wall, for resting the form
panels as well as working scaffolds up to commencement level shall be provided.
6.3.1.2 When assembling the form panels, these shall be positioned with a
slight taper normally 6.25mm (1/4”) for each form face in such a way that the space between the form
panels is narrower at the top than at the bottom. This slight taper is required to reduce the drag caused by
friction between forms and the setting concrete.
6.3.1.3 In circular structures form sheets 1250mm in height shall be used as inside and 1350 as outside form shutter
or as approved by client/consultant.
6.3.1.4 The form sheets shall be supported by a circular steel angle from both sides by means of hook bolts, which
will not allow the horizontal movement of the form sheets.
6.3.1.5 The yokes keeping the forms together shall be positioned 1.2m to 2.4m apart from each other depending
upon the layout of the structures to be slip formed.
Hanging Scaffoldings
6.3.2.1 At the top of the forms there are brackets, on the outer side of yokes (inner side bracket shall be
required for circular structures) on which planks are placed, from these platforms concrete compaction,
reinforcement fixing is carried out. These brackets shall be attached with hanging scaffolding.
Spider Assembly
6.3.3.1 Each panel consists of three yokes and three radial string connected by the means of U shaped clips.
Radial strings are called spider strings and shall be finally connected to the central ring. This will control
the centre of the structure and keep it in a circular position; these tension members also strengthen the main
deck.
Hydraulic Jack
6.3.4.1 Lifting of the forms shall be carried out with the help of appropriate hydraulic jacks (usually 3.0 Tons
capacity at 120 kg/cm2 are used or as required), which shall be operated through a central pumping unit.
Hydraulic jacks shall be mounted on jack rods, which are hollow tubes of approx. 6m length. Jack rods shall
pass through tube sleeve called recovery tube whose diameter is slightly larger
SLIP FORMING Page: 4 of 12
than that of the jack rods. This tube shall trail with the slipform creating a void round the jacking rod, which
facilitate the extraction of rods on completion of slide.
Concrete Mix For Slip forming
Cement
6.4.1.1 Specified cement conforming to the project specifications shall be used for slip form.
6.4.1.2 Storage capacity shall be sufficient to meet the requirement for thirty (30) working days unless in the
opinion of the engineer, the supply from the manufacturer is so limited that more storage capacity is
necessary. Cement shall be stored in moisture proof storage sheds. Staled, caked, reclaimed or re-sacked
cement shall not be used.
6.4.1.3 The temperature of cement shall be checked prior to the concrete production as hot cement used together
with hot water greatly reduce time for the initial setting and hardening.
Aggregate
Coarse aggregate
Coarse aggregate shall conform to project specification and shall consist of gravel, crushed gravel or
crushed stone free from coating of clay or other deleterious substance. It shall not contain harmful material
such as mica, iron pyrites, coal, laminated material or any other material. Which may attack the
reinforcement coarse aggregate, shall meet the specified requirement of quality of aggregate
6.4.2.2 Fine aggregate
Fine aggregate shall conform to project specification and shall consist of natural sand having hard and
durable particles or other inert material having similar characteristics. It shall not contain harmful material
such as iron pyrites, coal, mica, shale or similar laminated material such as flat and elongated particles,
or any material, which may attack the reinforcement, in such a form or in such a quantity to affect
adversely. The strength and durability of the concrete: fine aggregate shall meet the specified requirement
of quality of aggregate. Natural rounded, sea dredged aggregate shall be used as approved by the
customer/consultant. The rounded aggregate is preferable to the crushed or sharp aggregate as it will
reduce the harshness of the mix, thus causing less drag on the forms and will give a better surface finish.
Page: 5 of 12
SLIPFORMING
6.4.2.3 A soft sand or as given in project specifications shall be used which acts as a lubricant between the slipform
and wall and consequently gives a better finish as well as it is easier to slide.
Additives
6.4.3.1 To slipform the large or complicated structures, additives shall be used in the concrete mix as directed by
client/consultant.
6.4.3.2 For slip forming in hot climatic conditions additives shall also be
used as per manufacturer’s instructions and approved by client/consultant. As higher temperature causes
rapid initial setting of the concrete, the additives must be added to the concrete mix under closest
supervision, as even small variation of quantity of the additive in the mix may cause a great variation in the
lifting rate.
All sources of water for use with cement shall be approved by the engineer as per project specification
Mix Design
For slip forming, concrete shall have minimum cylinder strength of 195 kg/cm2 (2750 lb/in) at 28 days or as
specified in project specifications.
The concrete mix shall preferably contain a minimum of 300 kg cement per cubic meter mix or as approved
by client/consultant.
The concrete mix shall have a slump of 75mm to 100mm (3” to 4”) while the first 0.9m (3’) height of
concrete is being placed in the forms. During rest of the slide a slump of between 25mm to 50mm (1” to 2”)
is required or as given in project specifications. The use of high slump concrete during the initial filling of
the forms is required to allow easy compaction of the concrete even when heavily reinforced and to
ensure the least possible use of vibrators so as to avoid damage to the forms.
The usage of high slump concrete shall be avoided during the sliding. Not only will it increase water content
and reduce the final strength of the concrete but also cause extra difficulty with the surface treatment
during the sliding.
Prior to slip forming tests of the mix design shall be carried out for approval by the client/consultant.
6.5.5.1 Approval of material and preparation mix design as per drawing and specification use Doc. No.
QA&QC/FRM-165,168 TO 179 and 182 and 199.
Reinforcement
The project drawings shall be studied thoroughly and approval shall be obtained for the following.
Page: 6 of 12
SLIP FORMING
6.6.1.1 All reinforcement shall be placed as per drawing.
6.6.1.2 Reinforcement layout shall be planned such that the bars can be
positioned and tied in the easiest possible and quickest way. All horizontal reinforcement bar have to be
fixed within a limited space underneath the yoke cross beams.
6.6.1.3 Large and small diameter bars shall be avoided, as they are difficult to handle. Bars shall be used with a
diameter between 25mm (1”) to 10mm (3/8”).
6.6.1.4 The length of horizontal bars shall not exceed 6m and vertical bars not to exceed 4.5m in length. Overlap
length should be as agreed
by Client / Consultant / Specifications.
6.6.1.5 Starter bar for slipform structures shall protrude 1.35m to 1.8m (4’6” to 6’) above the commencement level
of the slide, with horizontal reinforcement fixed to a height of 0.9m (3’), before assembly of the forms is
undertaken.
6.6.1.6 No reinforcement bars with a length exceeding 1.8m (6’) shall be L, U or Z shaped, nor shall be the ends of
such bars be bent to hook. If these shapes are necessary, the length shall be kept to an absolute minimum.
6.6.1.7 There shall be a minimum concrete cover of 25mm (1”) between bars and wall face or as given in project
specifications.
6.6.1.8 Spacers for giving the correct cover shall be fixed to the forms every 0.9 to 1.5 m to ensure that the cover is
maintained.
6.6.1.9 Where floor slabs, roof slabs, corbels etc. join the slip formed structure, the normal U-shaped bars into the
concrete walls be provided to allow slab reinforcement to be positioned or as approved by
customer/consultant.
Supply Of Concrete
The concrete shall be mixed adjacent to the structure being slip formed or may be brought from control
batch plants.
Two concrete mixers shall be provided. One as a standby, if one breaks down second will be able to
supply concrete to allow the slide to continue.
For feeding the concrete and steel, tower crane shall be used (if possible).
Placing Of Concrete
Pouring of concrete use Doc. No. QA&QC/FRM-

Page: 7 of 12
SLIP FORMING
The concrete shall be placed in layers of 150 to 225mm (6” to 9”) in height during the initial filling of the
forms.
The rate of placing the concrete shall be spread over a time corresponding to the expected rate of sliding.
This time shall be determined by tests of the setting and the stiffening of the concrete.
To achieve a maximum bond between the foundation slab and the slip formed wall or into the horizontal
joint caused by stoppage of the slide, cement/sand grout of ratio 1:2 shall be placed in an initial layer of 25
to 50mm (1” to 2”) high or as given in project specifications.
Vibrations shall be kept to a minimum during the initial filling of the forms as it disturbs the form panel
and alignment.
Compaction Of Concrete
The compaction of concrete shall be done by using poker vibrators of 37mm to 50mm (1.5” to 2”)
diameter, which have been found to be the best size for average slipform jobs.
The poker vibrator shall only be lowered into the concrete to a depth corresponding to the height of the last
placed layer of concrete plus 25mm to 50mm (1” to 2”). This allows the last placed layer to be well
compacted and achieve a good bond to the previously placed layer of concrete. If the poker vibrator is
lowered deeper down into the already placed layer of concrete, it will tend to disturb the setting of the
lower-level concrete.
Sliding Speed
The sliding speed shall be determined by the following:
Rate of setting and hardening of the freshly placed concrete
The rate, at which concrete can be supplied, placed and compacted.
The rate at which reinforcement can be supplied and fixed.
For a successful and uniform slip forming the sliding speed shall be kept as even as possible.
The sliding speed shall not be less then 150mm (6”) an hour or as specified in the project specifications.
Tolerance and Verticality’s
The deviation for the vertical slip formed concrete structures less than 30m (100 ft) high shall be +/- 25mm
(1”) or as specified in project drawings and specifications.
Page: 8 of 12
SLIP FORMING
6.11.2 For structures more than 30 m (100 ft) in height the deviation shall be +/- 50mm (2”) or shall be in
accordance with the project drawing and specifications.
6.12 Alignment Control Operation
Monitoring the translation and rotation of the formwork shall be done with the help of optical plummet.
Targets shall be fixed under slip forming deck, which shall be centered with the reference points fixed on
the ground, before the start of slip forming.
After the start of slip forming the instrument shall be centered on the fixed reference point at the ground,
which gives an accurate value of the
horizontal translation and rotation.
6.12.4 Remedial Adjustments
The correction of eccentricity shall be done either by shutting off the jacks of one side or controlling the
stroke of these jacks to produce a tilt in the plane of the deck, which shall cause the structure to gradually
lean back in the true center.
Adjustments for correction of spiraling shall be controlled by adjusting the cross bracing between one yoke
and the another or by tilting the jacks in clock wise/counter clockwise direction.
Opening Pocket and Inserts in the Wall
During slip forming opening and pockets shall be formed in the concrete by inserting frames or blocks in
the slipform.
Smaller opening and pockets say less than 0.6x0.3 m (2’x 1’) shall be formed by inserting blocks of
expanded polystyrene.
Larger openings shall require proper timber frames. Frames for openings shall not exceed 1.2 to 1.5m in
height as if higher they are difficult to handle and position.
Where jacking rods unavoidably have to pass through opening more than 0.6m (2’) high, the jacking rods
must be braced laterally against buckling. This shall be done by assembling the frame forming the opening
under the cross-yoke beams and bolting timber round the jacking rod (refer to drawing No.8 -01).
Alternatively, a temporary concrete column 0.225 m or 9”x into the wall thickness can be cast round the
jacking rods. These shall be demolished immediately after the completion of slip forming

SLIPFORMING
Slip forming of Large Structures
Large concrete structures are difficult to slipform in one operation.
They shall therefore be split up into two or more separate slides.
The procedure shall be to leave a stub wall with reinforcement starter bars protruding approximately
0.6 m, to which the construction of the wall will be joined.
The stub walls shall be roughened in order to achieve a good joint between existing and newly
slip formed wall.
In cases of structures where absolute water tightness is required, a galvanized steel strip 200 to 250mm shall
be used or as approved by the client/consultant.
Surface Finish
When a lifting operation is completed and the hydraulic pressure released, the engagement for the gripping
devices alternates causing the forms to settle down 1.5 to 3mm.This causes a slight horizontal line of cement
grout on the surface of the exposed concrete. Treatment to the wall surface immediately below the slipform
shall be carried out by the following methods.
As the exposed concrete is fresh, having a fair amount of cement grout on its surface, the surface shall be
brushed or rubbed by using blocks of expanded polystyrene or as directed by client/consultant.
Stoppage
If a slipform has to stop due to bad weather, plant breakdown, walkouts etc. the following shall be
adopted.
Forms must continue to be lifted until the stage is reached when concrete will no longer form a bond to the
turn panels. This stage is normally achieved when 150 to 300mm (6” to 12”) of concrete is still left in the
forms.
Before re-commencement of the slipform the taper of the form panels must be checked and if any concrete
is adhering to the form panel that must be cleaned.
Repair of Concrete
If for any reason the concrete underneath the slipform is damaged, repairs should be undertaken forthwith.
The following reasons may contribute to the damaged surface and the patches of concrete may fall.
Page: 10 of 12
SLIP FORMING
If sliding is proceeding too slowly as compared to the setting of the concrete.
If the sliding is proceeding faster than the rate at which the concrete is setting.
Placing of extremely wet concrete.
Excessive amount of additives in the concrete.
If a cup of sweet tea is thrown in to the forms.
Remedy
Chisel out cracks.
Fix temporary shutters over fallout immediately below the forms where the concrete is still fresh.
Fill cavities with the same concrete as is used in the forms.
Or as specified in the project specifications.
Curing Of Concrete
Curing of concrete shall done by spraying the surface with water or as approved by the client/consultant.
In hot weather concrete structure shall be covered with hessian cloth and water shall be sprayed on the cloth.
Testing Of Concrete
A minimum of six test cylinder/cube shall be taken from the same batch as per project specification
Concrete placed in slipform shall be tested for 7- and 28-day compressive strength of cube/cylinder as per
project specification. Use Doc. No QA&QC/FRM-
A complete record of specimen of test concrete with location and date of placement, mix design proportion
type of cement shall be maintained by QC.
In case of non-conformity at any stage of inspection, the segregation is covered by method statement No.
QA&QC/MS- and Corrective Action Request (CAR) shall be raised as per standard operating procedure No.

surface results and binder does not adhere, to the wheels of vehicles. Overlapping of application of cover
material shall be avoided and all spillage shall be removed from the surface.
The quantity of aggregate to be applied shall be within the range specified.
All work shall be so conducted that work of applying asphalt and aggregate and rolling is completed
during the daylight period.
Subsequent applications shall be carried out similarly and sufficient time shall
be given for curing of surfaces (at least 24 hrs or as specified in the project specifications).
Each surface shall be checked for conformance to the rate of application of asphaltic material and the rate
of spreading of aggregate and their conformance to gradation requirement as set out in the project
specifications. Inspection for readiness or completeness of work shall be reported and documented.
Bituminous Base Course
Job mix formula shall be prepared as per project specification, and shall be approved by customer /
consultants use Doc No. QC/4/01/36 to 44. Mixing of materials shall be done in the Batching Plant
conforming to AASHTO M 156 of adequate capacity, coordinated and operated to produce a mixture
within the limits of project specifications. The asphaltic cement shall be heated within a temperature
range of 135oC to 163oC and each aggregate ingredient dried and heated to temperature not
exceeding163oC, after accurate weighing before being drawn to pug mill. Any material overheated
beyond the prescribed limits shall be rejected for incorporation in the permanent work.
Laying of asphaltic base course shall commence, immediately after the prime coat has dried up or its
curing has been accomplished. In the event of primed surface being disturbed due to traffic or rains
etc., the prime coat will be applied afresh.
Hauling of bituminous mixture should be done in dump trucks having clean, smooth metal beds, which
have been coated with an approved material to prevent adhesion of materials to the bed. Each truck shall
a suitable cover of suitable material and of sufficient size to protect the mixture from weather. The
mixture when delivered to the paver should not be at a temperature less than 130oC.
The bituminous mixture shall be spreaded with the automatically controlled asphalt paver. The paver shall

Wearing course)
The bituminous mixture shall be delivered to the paver at a temperature in-between 139oC to 163oC,but
not less than 130oC or as mentioned in project specifications. It should be ensured that the sum of the air
temperature plus the temperature of the mixture is between 165 oC to 190oC
The paver shall be equipped with automatic screed controls with sensors for either or both sides of the
paver, capable of sensing the grade from out side reference string line along the road. This string line shall
be fixed for checking the thickness layer and control the top levels of layer.
The initial or breakdown rolling shall be done with tandem or three wheeled steel roller and commence as
soon as the mixture will bear the roller without undue displacement, and shall follow the paver as close as
possible. Rolling shall begin at the lower side and proceed longitudinally, parallel to the road centerline
each pass overlapping one half of the roller width, gradually progressing to the crown of the road. When
paving in the echelon or abutting a previously placed lane, the longitudinal joint shall be rolled first
which will be subsequently followed by the regular rolling procedure. On super elevated curves the
rolling shall begin at the low side and progress to the high side by overlapping of longitudinal passes
parallel to the centerline. In no case the temperature for break down rolling shall be less than 120oC.
Break down rolling will be followed by intermediate rolling with steel drum rollers and pneumatic tire
rollers, until a minimum of 97 percent of a laboratory compacted specimen made from asphaltic material
obtained for daily Marshall density is achieved and all corrugation due to rolling are smoothened.
Final rolling shall be closely following the intermediate rolling and continue till surface finish is smooth
and all roller marks are completely eliminated. However, no rolling shall done after the temperature of the
asphaltic mixture has dropped to 110oC.Sometime, when the air temperature is high, rolling may be
continued even when the temperature of the asphaltic mixture is as low as 90 oC.,but maximum care
should be exercised that surface cracking does not take place.
Displacement of material due to reversing of rollers direction or from other causes shall be rectified
at once by adding additional fresh mixture with rakes manually, wherever required.
To prevent the adhesion of the mixture to the rollers, the wheel of roller shall be kept moistened with
water or oil.
Each layer shall be tested and approved by customer/consultant. Use Doc No. QA&QC/FRM-
asphalted material paving quality4/ and density achieved.
