Climbing formwork and method for erection of a concrete structure

A climbing formwork for erection of a concrete structure by successively casting a plurality of casting segments, the climbing formwork comprising:

• at least a first form element with an outer surface for delimiting a cavity to receive concrete for forming an uppermost casting segment, the first form element having an upper end and a lower end,
• a first support structure to support the first form element,
• a first tilt sensor for measuring a tilt of the first form element,
• a first measuring unit for measuring a horizontal distance between the outer surface at the lower end of the first form element and an outer surface at an upper end of a previous casting segment, the outer surface at the upper end of the previous casting segment facing the outer surface of the first form element and
• a processing unit communicating with the first tilt sensor and the first measuring unit, the processing unit being arranged for calculating a target tilt of the first form element using the measurement of the horizontal distance between the lower end of the outer surface of the first form element and the upper end of the outer surface of the previous casting segment, the processing unit further being arranged for determining a deviation between an actual tilt and the target tilt of the first form element.
