CSJV are scheduled to continue the enabling works with a consented
extension to working hours on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29
November. From Monday 30 November the site will be operational
on a 24 hour basis. The construction of the ventilation shaft will be
completed using the slip form method. Slip forming is a construction
method in which concrete is poured into a continuously moving
form. The vertical concrete form will be surrounded by 3 working
platforms from which workers fix the reinforcement, pour concrete
and install all the cast in items. Together, the concrete form and
working platforms are raised by means of hydraulic jacks. The jacks
climb on smooth rods or structural tubing embedded in the
hardened concrete. Reinforcement is fixed just ahead of the form,
which is then filled in layers with concrete.
A mobile self erecting crane will be operational during the slip form
construction works located on Gilbert Street.
Concrete will be delivered via Davies Street and will be parked on
Weighhouse Street.
From Monday 30th November we are consented by Westminster
City Council to work 24 hours a day for a 12 day period to
complete the ventilation shaft.
