Jump-form Construction
 Jump-form
construction is engineered for the safe and economical building
of concrete tanks and silos. The working platform and structure,
with its radially telescoping design, allows the construction of
silos of different diameters [16’, 18’, 20’, 24’,
26’, 30’ (i.d.)] and varying wall thickness.
Construction –
Three courses of 4' high forms are used. The silo is constructed
by successively jumping and resetting the lower 4' course of forms
on the top course of forms. The working platform is then raised
4' to the top of the newly set course of forms to a position for
the next concrete placement.
Once the walls are completed, the platform functions
as a working area for the roof construction or internal work. The
jump-form method of construction permits non-continuous work —
so costly overtime, multiple-shift labor premiums, and night lighting
can be eliminated.
 Uses
– This system is capable of constructing silos for the
storage of all bulk materials, unloading tubes for bulk material
stockpiling, water tanks, vertical shafts, and circular building
cores.
With a jump-form constructed
silo, the material an easily be filled and /or unloaded in a variety
of methods. Some examples:
- unloaders – in many
forms
- bucket elevators
- conveyers
- pneumatic fill lines
