The station is known by the world record in high-rise concrete pumping during the reconstruction in 1994. The achieved record was 532m. [2] During construction of the plant, there was discovered the remains of a Bronze Age pile-dwelling village (over 10 000 piles) on the east of the Lake Ledro. [6]
There are different types of concrete pumps. A common type of concrete pump for large scale construction projects is known as a boom concrete pump, because it uses a remote-controlled articulating robotic arm (called a boom) to place concrete accurately. It is attached to a truck or a semi-trailer. Boom pumps are capable of pumping at very high ...
Seat valve pumps are suitable for an especially even pumping of media with a solids content of up to 50% and for the high-pressure pumping of paste-like industrial media such as sludges. Since valves are used in this two-cylinder pump. it is limited to grain sizes of 8 mm at most.
A sluggish economy and a wet winter are weighing on results.
Putzmeister was founded by Karl Schlecht in 1958. [3] Schlecht designed a mortar machine based on his diploma thesis at the University of Stuttgart. [4]In 1986, Putzmeister 52Z's were used in the Chernobyl nuclear accident, pumping over 300,000 m 3 (390,000 cu yd) of concrete to entomb reactor number 4, setting a world record at the time for volume pumping.
Climbing formwork, also known as jumpform, is a special type formwork for vertical concrete structures that rises with the building process. While relatively complicated and costly, it can be an effective solution for buildings that are either very repetitive in form (such as towers or skyscrapers) or that require a seamless wall structure ...
High service pumping of finished water at high pressure; Distributed system booster without a storage tank in the piping system; Water pumping stations are constructed in areas in which the demand or projected demand is reasonably defined, and is dependent on a combination of customer needs and fire flow requirements.
Slip forming, a widely used technique today for building vertical concrete cores for high-rise buildings, was developed in the early 20th century for building silos and grain elevators. The concept was pioneered by James MacDonald, of MacDonald Engineering Chicago, and published by Milko S. Ketchum in an illustrated book: The Design of Walls ...
