Design and construction

Every new project is different. Amfah approaches each with open-thinking, innovation, expertise and experience to create optimum design and construction solutions.

We research, evaluate and plan for all the factors that will affect design and construction. Once the column configuration and lining type has been determined, designs are carefully reviewed again to find the most functional construction process for the lowest price.

The most economical and most commonly used construction technique is jump forming. With this traditional technique, chimneys rise by one 7'-6" lift (or jump), usually one per day.

When construction time is short or the structure exceeds the limitations of our jump forming systems, the Slipform technique is employed. With Slipforming, a 1200-foot chimney can be constructed in less than three months through continuous, around-the-clock construction. It's definitely preferred for rush situations.

Many older chimneys were not designed to meet today's operating conditions or stringent safety requirements. We Amfah offer many economical solutions to help our customers adapt existing chimneys to the requirements of advanced operating conditions and safety needs.

Our construction resources provide us the ability to successfully respond to the demands facing construction today. Amfah's capability includes Design, Build. Clients report our experience, management depth, workforce and resources results in projects completed on budget, on time and safely.
