Patrick Projects like these are implemented under very tight time constraints, so your above description may well be accurate.

I'm glad that someone has brought some new insight to our technical discussion. Sky-to-ground contra-gravitational formwork is not yet a mainstream method but it is gaining popularity on account of lower capital cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed as you quite rightly stated it's gaining popularity at an unprecedented rate and may one day overtake the traditional but quite frankly outdated ITCP initial terra commencement point method so beloved of 100% of construction companies. Although I heard from a reliable source that the Mongolians had made great progress in the field of STGCGF until the mortality rate of the individuals who were fortunate enough to be involved in this exciting new development reached levels that were considered unacceptable to the advisors to the Mongolian government responsible for observing and reporting on any massive erections they came across.

As you note, thanks to the Mongolian development work the STGCGF procedure is much safer now. Most early accidents were through human error - the upright diagonal bushing slots were sized incorrectly, due to a mathematical error. They should have multiplied the coefficient of dangular rising amplitude by Threakstons constant, but they omitted this step in the calculation. The procedure was later documented correctly by consultants - Messrs Bull and Excretaski if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The consummate professionalism of Messrs Bull and Excretaski cannot be denied and their documentation was required reading and used as a prime example of an assemblage of testiculartory appendages during my studies into the "Influence of davit and derrick dismantling and deconstruction on government projects in Bobo Dioulasso from January 1957 to February 1958" under the late Professor Hilberg at the University of Ougadougou. A man still missed to this day for his legendary insights and witty anecdotes regarding the development of the windlass in Upper Volta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
