Concrete climber
A concrete climber, also known as a climbing formwork system or climbing scaffold, is a specialized construction equipment system used in the vertical construction of concrete structures, such as high-rise buildings, bridges, towers, and cores of skyscrapers.
It allows for safe and efficient vertical movement of formwork, workers, and materials as construction progresses upward.
Key Features:
-
Modular design for flexibility and reuse
-
Integrated working platforms and safety rails
-
Can support vertical concrete formwork, reinforcement, and workers
-
Designed to withstand wind loads and vertical loads
Applications:
-
High-rise buildings (core walls, lift shafts)
-
Cooling towers
-
Bridge pylons
-
Silos and chimneys
-
Nuclear reactor containment structures
Advantages:
-
Fast cycle times for vertical pours
-
Minimal crane dependency (in self-climbing systems)
-
Improved safety with enclosed working platforms
-
Reduces labor and increases efficiency in repetitive concrete work
-
Ideal for tight urban sites where crane access is limited
