Slipforming of Preheater for Airvault Cement Plant

Our heavy duty slipform in top position, 97.7 meters above the ground. The construction is part of the CO2-reducing upgrade for Ciments Calcias (Heidelberg Materials) Airvault cement plant, France.
The building has a challenging geometry supported by four corner columns, with reducing thickness - connected by concrete beams in 7 levels. The span of the beams is between 14 and 19 metres. The entire geometry has been cast using our heavy duty slipform system in a continuous process, interrupted for short periods during the installation of supports for the casting of the beams.
The project is carried out together with Thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions AG and Vinci Construction. Completed April, 2024.
