Slipform Engineering – Wymington Silos

Project Overview

Capital Reinforcing was proud to support our client in the successful delivery of the Wymington Silos project in Nottingham — a complex five-digester cluster constructed using continuous slipform techniques. Our team played a critical role in supplying the steel reinforcement required to ensure the structural integrity and long-term durability of the silos.

Requirements

The project involved the construction of five anaerobic digesters, each rising to a height of 22 metres. In total, the cluster required:

  • 900 tonnes of steel reinforcement
  • 363 linear metres of wall
  • 3,300 cubic metres of concrete

 

The slipforming process was carried out over 5.5 days of continuous 24-hour casting, demanding precise coordination and timely delivery of reinforcement materials to keep pace with the rapid construction schedule.

Capital Reinforcing supplied all the steel reinforcement for the Silo’s, working closely with Slipform Engineering to ensure seamless integration with the slipform process. Our team delivered to site around the clock, adapting to the demands of continuous casting and maintaining strict quality control throughout.

Key to our success was:

  • Advanced planning and logistics to ensure uninterrupted material flow
  • Close collaboration with the construction team to ensure seamless deliveries

Result

The project was delivered on time and to specification, with the reinforcement contributing to the structural strength and consistency of the Silos. The absence of cold joints and the precision of the slipform technique were complemented by the accuracy and reliability of our reinforcement.

This project stands as a strong example of Capital Reinforcing’s ability to deliver under pressure, support innovative construction methods, and contribute to sustainable infrastructure development.
