Slip-form

Byrne Bros. has a range of in-house systems of varying duties allowing us to slip-form cores from the normal residential profile up to the largest commercial cores as seen at The Shard.

Slip-form can operate 24 hours, seven days a week, if required by a programme. It provides an efficient and fast method of constructing vertical structures.

On larger slip-form rigs, such as on The Shard London Bridge, we were able to accommodate a rig-mounted crane providing significant benefits to the vertical logistics strategy.

Our in-house developed rigs can be equipped with an additional platform for material storage in mitigation of cranage weather down time, an example of which can be seen being used on the Principal Place Project.

Our Standard Operating Procedures are accepted by major contractors and allow our follow-on work and other trades to work continuously below our rigs.
