Slip Forming Technique for more economical construction and faster slipping speeds
NEW VERTICAL SLIP FORMING TECHNIQUE UTILIZING CEMENTS THAT WILL DOUBLE THE SLIP RATE WHILE CUTTING COST AND MANPOWER Slip forming has been the fastest construction method for high-rise concrete structures since its invention some seventy years ago in Sweden by Bygging-Uddemann. They are now the largest in the world. Slip forming’s other strong suite is …
Fireproofing Methods for Structural Steel
Steel loses approximately 50% of its load-bearing capacity when it reaches 1,000oF (537oC). Accordingly, all structural steel buildings and industrial plants with human occupants must be protected from fire events to allow rescuers time to evacuate structures. Fireproofing can be active, or passive. Active fireproofing consists mainly of sprinkler systems, gases or other means of …

Preventing Corrosion Under Insulation and Fireproofing
One of the most costly challenges in the petrochemical industry today is managing corrosion under insulation (CUI) and corrosion under fireproofing (CUF). The most simplistic description of corrosion on steel is rust. The vast majority of steel corrosion consists of an electro-chemical reaction converting the iron into an oxide. This type of corrosion is most …
