Slipform Hydraulic Jacks

A slipform hydraulic jack is a type of hydraulic device used in the slip forming process in construction. Slipform hydraulic jacks play a critical role in this process by providing the hydraulic force necessary to move the formwork and maintain the continuous pouring and shaping of the concrete.

Slip forming is advantageous for large-scale construction projects where speed and precision are crucial. It allows for the creation of tall and consistent structures with reduced labor and construction time compared to traditional formwork methods. However, slip forming requires careful planning, engineering expertise, and specialized equipment like slipform jacks to ensure successful results.

Sai Krishna Engineering Co. specializes in the manufacturing of slipform jacks, offering two distinct varieties – Jaw-grip jacks and Ball-grip jacks.

Jaw grip slipform jacks are a specific type of slip-forming equipment used in construction projects. These jacks have a jaw-like mechanism that grips onto the formwork as they move vertically during the slip-forming process. These jacks come with a lifting capacity of 3MT.

Ball grip slipform jacks are a specific type of slip forming equipment used in construction projects. These jacks feature a ball or sphere-like gripping mechanism that clamps onto the formwork as they move vertically during the slip forming process. These jacks come with a lifting capacity of 3.5MT, 6MT & 12MT.

Both grips ensure that the formwork remains secure, allowing for the controlled and continuous pouring of concrete while maintaining the desired shape and dimensions of the structure being built.

The choice between jaw grip slipform jacks and ball grip slipform jacks depends on the specific requirements of the construction project and the preferences of the construction team, as each type may offer certain advantages depending on the context.

Slipform jacks are essential components in the slip forming construction process and have various uses in the construction industry. Here are some common applications and uses of slipform jacks:

High-Rise Buildings: Slipform jacks are frequently used in the construction of tall buildings. They help form the continuous concrete cores that provide structural support and house elevators, stairs, and utility shafts.
Silos: Slipform jacks are commonly employed in the construction of cylindrical silos used for storing bulk materials like grain, cement, or chemicals. They ensure the smooth and even construction of the silo walls, helping to maintain structural integrity.
Bridge Piers: Slip forming is used to create vertical supports (piers)for bridges. Slipform jacks help shape these structures with precision, ensuring they can withstand the loads imposed by the bridge.
Water Towers and Tanks:Slipform jacks are used to build water towers and tanks, ensuring the construction of a watertight structure that can store large quantities of water for municipal or industrial use.
Tunnels and Underground Structures: In tunnel construction, slipform jacks are used to form the concrete lining of the tunnel. This lining provides structural support and helps prevent water infiltration
Chimneys and Smokestacks:Slipform jacks are used to build tall chimneys and smokestacks for industrial facilities. These structures must be built to precise specifications for safety and environmental compliance.

Slipform jacks offer several benefits in construction projects where slip forming is used. These benefits contribute to the efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness of the construction process. Some key advantages of using jacks are:

Speed of Construction: Slip forming, with the assistance of slipform jacks, enables faster construction compared to traditional formwork methods. The continuous pouring of concrete and the controlled vertical movement of the jacks result in swift progress.
Consistency: Slipform jacks help maintain the shape and dimensions of the structure, ensuring uniformity throughout the construction process. This consistency is critical for structures like high-rise buildings and silos.
Versatility: Slipform systems, including slipform jacks, can be adapted for various types of structures, from cylindrical silos to complex architectural designs. This versatility makes slip forming suitable for a wide range of construction projects.
Cost Efficiency: While the initial investment in slipform equipment, including slipform jacks, can be substantial, the overall cost savings in terms of labor, time, and material often make slipforming a cost-effective choice for largescale projects.

Overall, slipform jacks are versatile tools that facilitate the construction of various types of structures, especially those that require continuous, precise, and vertically aligned concrete placement.
