In order to strengthen the structure of the towers to take the weight of 3,000-tonne of the skybridge, the last slabs had a thickness of 1.4m and cantilevered around 3.5m to the outer side of each tower. In this case load were not transferred vertically but horizontally by using steel beams.
Both towers needed to be pre-cambered due to the heavy load of the skybridge, which had to be lifted from ground level all the way to the top. The PERI systems used allowed the kind of absolute precision needed to erect the two towers with a small incline.
Dubai Frame project with PERI
The narrow core walls made access difficult while the floor heights reached up to 10m. For that, PERI UP tower was suspended form the ACS platform, making the top levels easily accessible.
PERI UP shoring towers erected to support the heavy cantilevered roof slab.
Dubai Frame built with PERI formwork and scaffolding solutions
PERI UP Staircase with alternating staircase units used for access to working areas on site.
PERI UP shoring system used with MULTIFLEX to cast the slab at the podium level.
The ACS system allowed for different climbing patterns for platforms - both independently and simultaneously. This approach ensured easier jumping to the next floor. As a result, ARP managed to cast 2 floor levels in just five days.
SB Brace Frame used exceptionally in a horizontal position to support the cantilevered platform.
Both 155m long towers will be interconnected at the top by a 75m wide skybridge.
The podium level reflects the rhombus shape of the towers through 24 inclined columns of 7m high each. The inclined columns were cast using VARIO GT24.

With PERI we have already realized numerous projects and know the high-end solutions as well as the high standard of service. For this project, the complexity of the building structure was initially easy to underestimate but we were always supported on-site whenever needed. In the end, we achieved a 3.5 days cycle time, saving a total of 30 days construction time.
