Comparison Of Slipform Process And Prefabrication Process For Curb

Economic comparison
The curb slip-form paver only needs 4-5 people to operate on site, and after a molding, the curb rarely needs manual repair. The curb can be formed by sliding mold about 1000-1500 meters per day.
The traditional curb prefabrication process roughly requires the following processes: purchase a large number of curb molds - find a site for a large number of prefabricated curbs - load the curb from the prefabricated site to the construction site - on-site unloading, installation, and ditching. There will also be bumps and damage to the curb in the process. The installation efficiency is only about 500-600 meters per day.
The production of curb slip-form pavers breaks the original operation mode and produces on the spot, avoiding the waste of materials in the prefabrication process, as well as the loss in the transportation and on-site installation process, and saving about 30% of raw materials. According to the calculation of the curb for the production of 1m3 concrete, the production of curb slip-form pavers has the significant advantages of saving labor, materials and time compared with the traditional prefabrication process, and saves about 25%-35% of the cost.
Comparison of practicality
Because the curb slip-form paver is directly on the spot slip-form the curb, and can be embedded in the ground as the foundation. Therefore, the formed curb not only has good linearity and beautiful appearance, but also has high impact strength and stability, and its overall strength and stability are unmatched by the traditional curb prefabrication process. Due to the on-site installation process, the kerbs can only be simply filled and beautified. The soil changes of different foundations, the pressure changes inside and outside the road and other factors will make the kerbs wobble without external influence, directly affecting the appearance effect. If hit, the consequences are even worse.
At last, the advantages of the curb sliding form process are as follows: high efficiency, beautiful appearance, low cost and high quality.
