Major technical calculations had to be carried out to construct the complex apex of the building. All framework conditions had to be considered – from wind and weather to the safety of the workers on the scaffolding and passers-by.

The rail-guided climbing formwork scored points with its hydraulic drive, large climbing units, high lifting force and rapid processes, which meant that a concreting cycle of just one week per storey could be achieved.

It took PERI Denmark’s engineers more than 400 hours of work and calculations to create the final customised solution, which, according to the company, was the largest scaffold constructed at this height in Denmark at the time.

The modular PERI UP Facade Scaffold now has an even higher load-bearing capacity and offers greater flexibility thanks to the EVOTOP series. In addition to the introduction of further sophisticated standard assemblies, a significantly reduced number of components and ties is a major advantage in use.

Thanks to the EVOTOP series from the PERI UP Scaffolding Kit, even wider, longer and higher facade scaffolds can be built in demanding load classes. Heavy and inflexible frames are therefore no longer required in facade scaffold construction.

PERI UP Cladding is a newly conceived, flexible enclosure system that is the perfect addition to the PERI UP Scaffolding Kit. It helps in providing a spatial enclosure for the construction site, while being an easy-to-install and translucent shield for the construction site personnel and the surrounding area.

The Terfener Innbrücke reconstruction project on the A12 motorway in the Inntal valley is one of largest bridge construction projects currently being carried out in the west of Austria. With PERI by their side, the client has been successful in implementing the project according to the demanding construction schedule since construction began in 2018. In addition to providing comprehensive planning services and on-site support during the project, PERI has also made use of the VBC Balanced Cantilever Carriage for the first time in Central Europe.

PERI has delivered around 480 tonnes of formwork and scaffolding material to the client’s construction site in addition to providing comprehensive on-site support.

On account of the subterranean position up against the ground earth, it was not possible to use end-to-end formwork ties when concreting the retaining walls. For this reason, a single-sided formwork solution was required.

The columns were formed in a straightforward manner without any special-purpose components thanks to the integrated perforated strips on the LIWA Panel Formwork.

The gas compressor platform CA-KU-A1 was erected at the shipyard of Dragados Offshore in Tamaulipas/Mexico with the aid of comprehensive PERI scaffolding solutions.

CA-KU-A1 has a weight of 23,900 tonnes and can compress around 450 MMcf of sour gas per day.

It was possible to adapt the suspended working platforms variably in 25 cm increments to account for the gaps between the steel girders. Scaffold tubes and couplings were used to fix them to the steel girders of the platform.

The principle of the innovative SKYMAX formwork solution is based on compatible components made of various materials. The result of this is a construction kit that paves the way for flexible solutions that will fulfil specific project requirements.

Working with the SKYMAX system is remarkably simple due to the low number of different components. The system of combining the panels and heads is self-explanatory.

The panel slab formwork can be installed safely and efficiently from the level below. The slab panels are slipped into the head from the installation surface below and pivoted upwards.

The Al Bustan Street South construction project is one of four parts that make up the Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor infrastructure project and features bridges with a total length of more than 10 km.

The PERI system solution was tailored to account for the specific circumstances on site as one of the great challenges of the project was to carry out the construction work without causing major disruption to traffic.

Combining the modular VARIOKIT and PD 8 systems proved to be the ideal approach to establishing the superstructure formwork for the in-situ concrete bridge. PD 8 shoring, which was adjusted quickly and steplessly to the different heights, ensured that loads could be transferred in an optimum manner.

Demanding infrastructure project underway in Doha

Adherence to deadlines, efficiency and completion without interrupting the flow of traffic are the requirements that are of paramount importance during the Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor infrastructure project. For the construction phase on Al Bustan Street South, PERI made use of the PD 8 shoring system and a combination of systems from the PERI UP Flex portfolio in addition to a tailor-made VARIOKIT solution with VST heavy-duty shoring towers. The customer has therefore taken full advantage of the opportunity to procure time-saving formwork and scaffolding systems from a single source.
