Abstract:
1. Formwork climber apparatus for casting a structure in a plurality of successive casting steps, the structure having a vertically extending surface, the vertical extent of the surface comprising a first, substantially vertical, wall region, a second, substantially vertical, protruding region above the wall region, and a third, substantially non-vertical, transition region extending between an upper part of the wall region and a lower part of the protruding region, the formwork climber apparatus comprising: a first, substantially vertical formwork member for delimiting a next-to-be-cast section of the wall region or a next-to-be-cast section of the protruding region of the structure, supporting means for securing the formwork climber apparatus to an already-cast section of the wall region such that the supporting means supports the first formwork member during each casting step, first formwork member positioning means for securing the first formwork member in a first position, in which the first formwork member delimits a next section of the wall region to be cast, or in a second position, in which the first formwork member delimits the protruding region to be cast, a second, substantially horizontal formwork member for delimiting the transition region during casting of the protruding region of the structure, and a second formwork member positioning means for adjusting the height of the second formwork member, wherein the supporting means is adapted to support the first formwork member in either of the first and second positions and to support the second formwork member.
