Jumpform Process

The jumpform system consists of either fixed diameter or adjustable diameter form sets. Our form set permits diameters from 9 ft to 110 ft and varying wall thickness. The jumpform is a fully decked work platform which is self-contained and sets up in days.

In jumpform construction each ring of forms is 4 ft. tall. Three rings of forms are stacked on top of each other. After the top 4 feet of form is poured, the bottom section is removed and vertically jumped to the new top and then prepared for the next pour. This repetitive process of pouring and jumping up the lower set of forms continues until the structure is topped out.

Advantages of a jumpform structure

Daytime labor and material construction costs

Quality control during placement of rebar, pouring of concrete, and positioning of embeds

Liner Materials

Often chimney design is driven by the requirements of the liner. Proper liner selection can be made only after the operating conditions have been investigated. The operating conditions consist of the flue gas composition, flow rate, and temperature. Selection of the proper liner material or combination of materials will ensure the proper service life of the liner.

Materials that can be used for liner design are the following:

Carbon steel
