In the experience of the construction of London's Channel Tunnel Rail Link Project, on Contract 220, production of concrete walkways and slabtrack using slipform paving was 3 times faster and required 4 times less labour compared with planning it the traditional way. 'It was estimated that with the slipform paving at C220 we saved at least £3m and 2 months of programme time. Most importantly we were able to recover programme time and hand over the works ahead of schedule. Using traditional methods this would have been impossible to achieve.' Mr. Bill Brundan Tunnel Agent Nishimatsu...
