Balanced Engineering & Construction (BEC) has officially commenced the slipform slide for the Masinloc Unit 5 environmental compliance chimney. This milestone marks the start of continuous vertical construction that will see the structure steadily rise in the coming weeks, bringing the project closer to completion.
Inside the slipform rig, reinforcement steel is being tied with precision, while outside, the rig is prepared for steady upward progress.
What Is Slipforming?
Slipforming is a specialised concrete construction method where formwork “slides” upward as concrete is continuously poured. This allows tall reinforced concrete structures, such as chimneys and silos, to be built seamlessly without interruption.
The process requires:
- Precise coordination across engineering and site teams.
- Uninterrupted material supply to maintain structural integrity.
- Dedicated manpower working around the clock in rotating shifts.
This technique ensures a smooth, monolithic finish that enhances both durability and safety — a crucial requirement for environmental compliance structures.
Driving Progress in the Philippines’ Energy Infrastructure
While the Philippines continues its energy transition, existing infrastructure must adapt to meet stricter environmental standards. The Masinloc Unit 5 environmental compliance chimney plays a key role in reducing emissions, improving plant efficiency, and contributing to a safer and more sustainable energy sector.
BEC is proud to be at the forefront of delivering specialist construction solutions that support reliability, environmental responsibility, and long-term infrastructure performance.
This milestone reflects the technical expertise and resilience of our crew in overcoming challenges on site. Every slipform lift demonstrates our commitment to:
- Safety first – ensuring all works are carried out with zero compromise.
- Quality craftsmanship – delivering durable structures that meet the highest standards.
- Sustainability – supporting environmental compliance within energy infrastructure.
