Understanding Jump Form System
Usually the Jump Form System taken for including the systems which are often known as climbing form comprise of the formwork as well as working platforms for fixing as well as cleaning the form work, steel fixing and even concreting. These systems are meant for construction of the vertical concrete elements in high rise buildings like lift shafts, core walls, bridge piers and stair shafts. The systems are usually modular and maybe joined for forming the long lengths for suiting varying geometries of construction. Types of Jump Form System which are generally used: Below are basic types of jump form systems which are used generally A climb form or normal jump units- are lifted individually from the building and then located at the next stage of construction with the help of a crane Self-climbing Jump Form Systems- these do not need a crane since they may climb up on the rails on the structure by means of the hydraulic jacks or with the help of jacks lifting the plat
