ISO 16039:2004 PDF Download

ISO 16039:2004 is a standard that provides definitions, terminology, and specifications for slipform pavers, which are mobile machines used in road construction and maintenance. These machines are self-operating and are designed to place and finish cement concrete while it is still in a plastic state.

The standard outlines the general configuration of the slipform pavers and also specifies the special equipment that may be required based on the specific type of work to be done. This can include concrete roadways, road safety structures such as barriers and walls, road drainage structures like edgings and gutters, as well as airport paving like runways and taxiways.

It is important to note that ISO 16039:2004 does not cover machines with non-travelling formwork that is fixed to the ground. It also excludes construction works that only require vertical progression, meaning it focuses specifically on slipform pavers used in horizontal construction projects.
