The Management Board of PERI GmbH: Alexander Schwrer, Christian Schwrer and Dr.-Ing. Ekkehard Gericke
Dear Readers,
The world of business is moving faster and faster all the time with both decision and execution times
becoming even shorter, resulting in more complex requirements from our customers. We take this
into account: for example, through the founding of new companies in numerous countries for even
more proximity to the customer, with modernized and expanded production facilities for the best
technology or investment in efficiently run rental parks in order to ensure good material availability at
short notice.
These organizational aspects and constantly changing requirements of our customers drive us forward, to continuously develop new systems or system enhancements as well as relevant services
with the aim of further optimizing all of our formwork and scaffolding processes. In the process, we
always strive to provide the best solution that gives real added value for our customers - with PERI
you can rely on this at all times.
A PERI solution is always the result of three factors combined: product, concept and execution. We
use our experience gained from successful global projects with diverse requirements to support our
customers from the development of the technical solution, with the most suitable system equipment through cost-effective and safe execution, to the final return of materials.
Examples of our product and service portfolio, as well as a number of outstanding reference projects,
can be found in this handbook. Naturally, we are not able to show everything. You may be curious to
learn even more about our competence in terms of solutions. Your personal PERI Sales Engineer is
on hand at any time to provide you with expert advice. He will familiarize you with our company and
services, and will collaborate with you with great commitment and energy on your projects and on a
long-term, reliable partnership.
We look forward to having you on board, to your questions and suggestions. Anywhere and at
any time: at trade fairs, at one of our branch offices near you or at the company headquarters in
Weissenhorn you are always welcome!
We wish you every success for the future.

Formwork, scaffolding and engineering from one source
Formwork gives the fresh concrete its

shape up to the time it has hardened thus
forming the negative of the concrete structure and also characterizes, in many instances, the subsequent visibly remaining surfaces of a building.
Scaffolds are temporarily-used, reusable

constructions which are utilized as working
platforms, shoring for formwork or assembly work, access means as well as safety
scaffold.
Engineering, on the one hand, is focused

on basic research and, on the other, is also
applied science. The greatest added value
lies in the practical use of the knowledge
for the realization of technical products or
procedures.
For every concrete structure and component, PERI provides the most suitable
formwork system. The portfolio fully
meets the global requirements of different construction methods and boundary
conditions.
PERI scaffolding can be used for a very

wide range of applications. Regardless
whether it is frame or modular scaffold,
the great flexibility leads to a high level
of material utilization.
For PERI, engineering not only means

product development and technical planning. In particular, PERI engineering
stands for the detailed examination and
optimization of integral processes in the
areas of formwork and scaffolding.
As is still the case, formwork operations

are a decisive cost factor in the realization of the buildings shell. Therefore, the
PERI engineers and experts make every
effort in order to further streamline
working procedures as well as increasing
user safety. The versatile application
possibilities and the high quality of the
system components make PERI formwork systems so intrinsically valuable.
All PERI developments, including those

in the scaffolding sector, take into
account the greatest possible safety
standards not only for the scaffolder
himself but also the users. Dangerous
situations, usually at great heights, are
eliminated due to design-related safety
details. And last but not least, it must be
noted that safe working conditions are
more efficient and also save time.
PERI customers are therefore continuously supported throughout the entire

course of the project, in particular with
versatile and valuable services for supporting all work processes. In addition,
along with continually improving the
solutions, PERI carries out basic research,
e.g. for new production processes of
new materials.

The innovative MX tie technology, with ties installed at one side, significantly reduces the time and expense for the forming of walls.
In addition, lost parts such as spacer tubes are no longer required.
We develop new products for applications with which we see rationalization potential
with a real future. In this way, efficient system equipment with convincing and practical
details is developed which maintain a strong position in the market over many years.
16
Our engineers take into consideration the

total cost of materials and working hours in
every product development - we call this
the performance price. Result: the greatest possible reduction in effort and working
time.
PERI products are characterized through

their innovative design, intelligent mechanical features and practical details manufactured with high quality standards and thus
ideally suited for dealing with the tough
everyday use on the construction site. Easy
handling, maximum flexibility and, at the
same time, safe application prove convincing in the long-term.
A clear indicator of this is that we have

always been able to set standards in the
industry with numerous innovations, and
that the vast majority of PERI systems have
firmly established themselves in the market.
17
PERI system equipment plus engineering

Optimized planning. For all requirements. Worldwide.
Our engineers are confronted with a very

wide range of tasks on a daily basis from
all around the world and with different technical and execution-relevant requirements.
The challenge of finding technically and
cost-effectively optimized solutions together with our customers is something that
the PERI experts are very pleased to
accept. And the continuous exchange
among colleagues around the world
ensures that the experience gained through
this benefits all of our customers as well as
every project regardless of the size.
Our engineers plan and design optimized
formwork and scaffolding solutions both
from the technical as well as economic
point of view, and frequently during the tendering phase. For the execution, we provide
an extensive range of technical documentation from construction drawings through
to verifiable static calculations.
The engineers at PERI use their know-how in order to

support building contractors in the realization of their
individual projects by means of the best possible
solutions. In so doing, they always keep a careful eye
on the processes and costs as well as safety for construction site personnel.
18
PERI software provides easily understandable planning while automatically generated parts lists contain accurate quantities for all system
components and facilitates easier material planning.
Three-dimensional planning
solutions lead to a better
understanding of complex
projects and their realization.
The schematic representation
of the structure of this formwork solution for an intake
structure of a hydropower
plant is a clear illustration of
this.
19
PERI responsible for results

Expert and qualified support. Services with added value.
Efficient execution.
With a combination of purchase and rental

material models, project-specific requirements and demand peaks, for example, can
be fulfilled economically. PERI rental parks
minimize the utilization risk for our customers. Well-maintained equipment featuring
state-of-the-art technology also provides a
high level of safety during the execution.
Material requirements
Peak demands
System equipment for special applications
Basic requirements
Materials requirements on the construction site during the course of the project
Also for the implementation of the planning, we provide the very best support:
from the start of construction right through
to the last return delivery. Our close-knit
network of logistics sites ensures fast availability of materials for every project. In
many markets, our system equipment is
also available to rent as a cost-effective
option for peak demands or less frequent
tasks. And our sales engineers and supervisors provide active on-site support thus
enabling users to efficiently utilize PERI
system equipment right from the start.
But we also think of the business management responsibility of our customers and
support their controlling processes with
performance-related invoicing and high
transparency often online and around the
clock. For large projects, project managers
help to match the quantities of material to
the actual requirements, and thus further
optimize on-site material requirements and
costs.
The sales engineer is the first contact person also if

there are questions regarding the use of the equipment
on the jobsite.
Our customers can expect reliability from us for all deliveries. If required, large quantities of material are also
available just-in-time to the respective construction site.
Time
myPERI is an example of how PERI further optimizes

formwork and scaffolding processes. The online portal
simplifies construction work procedures, e.g. with illustrated return delivery notes.
The service we provide simply does not end with the delivery. With PERI services, in particular, we accompany and support our clients throughout the entire project and thus make a
decisive contribution in ensuring an effective, safe and cost-effective realization.

PERI quality assurance already begins in the incoming

goods operations. At this point, it is ensured that the
raw materials correspond to the predefined PERI
requirements.
The PERI systems are thoroughly tested through individual test setups regarding their suitability for use in tough
jobsite conditions, e.g. the MAXIMO tie point.
The high quality of the PERI systems guarantees a worthwhile investment. It is the
basis for long product life cycles with high
utilization rates. At PERI, quality begins
with the careful selection of materials.
Products are manufactured using real
craftsmanship by our highly trained workforce who are supported by the availability
of the most modern production facilities:
Quality made by PERI.
The entire process is subject to continuous

quality assurance which is clearly defined
and has been repeatedly certified, from purchase through to delivery. Fully galvanized
components and powder coating for comprehensive corrosion protection are examples of how we guarantee the long service
life of our formwork and scaffolding systems. As a result, PERI systems can stand
up to the tough everyday operations on the
jobsite frequently over decades.
In the girder production, the timber strength is tested by

means of an X-ray scanner. The non-destructive testing
method leads to reliable conclusions about the quality of
the sawn timber.
23
Sustainability as a basic principle:

from the development to transportation
Resource-saving. Environmentally sound.
Long-term ecological viability.
The T 70 formwork girder is a good example of the longevity of PERI Products. These girders were still being
used in many rental parks long after the GT 24 had been
launched as a further development.
The issue of sustainability has a firm place

in our business processes. Product development is already focused on the best utilization of materials and thus the most economical use. Raw material selection and
procurement is carried out in terms of ecological sustainability with timber, for example, coming mainly from certified growing
regions.
The design of the MULTIPROP prop serves as an example for optimized material utilization. The carefully
thought-out form provides the prop with a high loadbearing capacity and offers the best connection possibilities for accessories.
New technologies and efficient production

processes ensure the best quality and long
service life of PERI system equipment
which, in turn, has a positive effect on the
consumption of resources. Delivery and
construction site logistics are also optimized regarding shipping volumes and
transportation routes. Strategically-positioned sites guarantee short delivery distances whereby transportation is also continuously optimized through an intelligent
logistics network.
PERI systems have been designed to ensure a long service life. With panel formwork for example, even badly
damaged elements can be used again for countless
other applications after repairs have been carried out
and with new formlining.
Closed circuits: the biomass power station at the

Weissenhorn production site is a symbol for sustainable action at PERI. From wood shavings a waste
product from the girder production power and heat
are generated in the power plant which contributes
a significant part of the used energy mix at the production facilities.
Future viability as well as ecological and economic sustainability have a high priority for all PERI business activities.

Wall Formwork
Originally, timbered wall formwork was

comprised of boards and squared timbers.
This has resulted in modular systems for
a range of different requirements. Based
on the respective construction, a distinction is made between girder wall formwork and panel formwork.
The girder wall formwork consists of timber
and/or steel girders connected to each
other that form the support surface for the
formlining. The optimization of individual
elements and the development of a wide
range of accessories for connections and
attachments still makes girder wall formwork
cost-effective in spite of the relatively high
number of components. A major advantage
is the flexibility in order to be able to adapt
to complex shapes and high loads. In particular, architectural concrete structures with
special requirements for surfaces and
anchor patterns can often only be efficiently
realized with girder wall formwork.
32
The further reduction of the individual components resulted in wall formwork with
welded frames made of
steel or aluminium.
Fixed panel sizes including formlining, system components for connections and wall
connections, as well as other site-compliant
detailed solutions, facilitate fast forming of
large areas.
With the afore-mentioned systems, not
only can walls, beams and columns be
realized. They are also used for vertical
structures in civil engineering as well as,
with appropriate support structures, for
single-sided constructions.

Column Formwork
Fast concreting with comparatively small

column cross-sections leads to a high
fresh concrete pressure on the formwork.
Therefore, the joints in particular are to
be formed very carefully in order to avoid
leakage problems.
Column formwork is comprised of panel
formwork elements or based on individual
formwork girders. In addition, for particularly
high demands on the pouring rate, evenness and concrete surfaces, steel formwork
is also available.
50
The quick and easy adjustment of the

cross-section and height with the least
possible number of system components
is an important criterion for the versatility
of a column formwork. Furthermore, high
demands are often placed on the concrete
surface. As conventional fixing of the formwork results in impressions of screws and
nails being left in the concrete, systems
were also developed that allow flawless
surfaces to be realized.

Slab Formwork
Essential elements for slab formwork are

the horizontal load-bearing structure and
the support system. The horizontal construction supports the formlining and
safely transfers the forces into the shoring which in turn carries the loads into
the ground or components that have
already been completed. Scaffolding
and platforms form working levels and
protect the user against falling or from
falling objects.
Crosswise-mounted individual wooden or
aluminium girders used as slab formwork
have proven their worth over many years
now. This construction with main and secondary beams allows the use of any formlining and also provides a high degree of
flexibility regarding geometric adjustments
that have to be carried out. Through the
continuous optimization of the individual
parts, girder formwork is still cost-effective
today in spite of the high number of components involved.
58
Slab tables are also produced based on the

same design principle, which includes the
provision of a load-bearing system available
in standard sizes or a project-related
approach is taken with customized elements. However, slab tables are only used
in a larger-scale, open design form of construction as they have to be moved to a craneable position after being used underneath
the slab.
Furthermore, various system formwork was
developed featuring panels or girder grids.
The recurring assembly sequence facilitates
extremely fast shuttering times whilst the
aluminium and steel materials used ensure
a long service life for the system components.
Selection criteria for a slab formwork

Geometry
such as the spatial dimensions

(narrow, spacious), lateral limitations
(open, closed) and the form of the slab
surface (rectangular, polygonal, curved)
Required slab thickness and floor height

High level of safety at slab edges with cantilevered girders and platforms
Quick and simple change of direction of the panels
60mm
Working with SKYDECK is easy and non-tiring resulting in fast, safe forming operations
with a systematic assembly sequence.
The well thought-out design with drophead
allows early striking and reduces on-site
material requirements. The small prop
requirements simplifies the horizontal
transportation of formwork materials.
Shuttered: the panels and cover strips

form the soffit of the concrete.
SKYDECK is easy and safe to install. The panels clip

onto the outward projecting teeth and are immovably
fixed in position. Handling is quickly mastered, even by
personnel unfamiliar with this system.
With SKYDECK edge beams (75 cm and 150 cm

lengths), shuttering of columns is a simple procedure.
The infill areas are closed by means of 21 mm thick
formlining.
Drophead lowered: the cover strips and

dropheads remain in position while the
panels and beams are struck.
Safety also at slab edges: the SKYDECK platform serves

as working and safety scaffold, and saves the installation
of additional safety platforms or netting.

MULTIFLEX Girder Slab Formwork

The universal girder slab formwork system
for any ground plan and all floor heights
Slab Formwork
With MULTIFLEX, every slab thickness,

any ground plan and all floor heights can
be formed. The system allows large spans
which thus reduces the number of parts to
be moved. As a result, MULTIFLEX stands
for economical working operations for all
requirements.
Load-bearing
Large spans result in a reduction in the
number of components
Utilization benefits
Fewer girders and props (depending on slab
thickness)
Adaptable
Can be adapted to suit every ground plan
due to overlapping of the girders
Freely selectable
Choice of formlining according to needs
and requirements
MULTIFLEX can be adapted to suit all ground plans.

The telescoping of the slab girders or the change in the
direction of the main beams ensure maximum flexibility.
Can
be optimized for realizing all slab thicknesses and shapes through the selection
of girder and girder combination
Cost-effective due to inexpensive and reusable components
Infill areas are easily shuttered through the use of girders
The choice of girder is based on project-specific

requirements: the GT 24 lattice girder allows large
spans and thus reduces the number of parts to be
moved. The VT 20K girder is the cost-effective
solution for smaller slab thicknesses.
64
The use of GT 24 girders as main and cross beams

ensure that large spans are possible.
The use of the load-bearing GT 24 girder as a twin main

beam, in connection with PERI UP Rosett Flex shoring,
facilitates the transfer of heavy loads over great heights.
With the flexclip, MULTIFLEX is even safer as it prevents

the cross beam from tilting. The anti-tilt device is available
in three versions for different girder combinations.

higher loads.
66
The lifting fork moves the table in one lift onto the next
floor. The slab props can be folded and easily mounted
and dismantled thanks to the table swivel head.
Being able to divide the table swivel head has several

advantages: the head can also be used with another top
part for radial girder arrangements whilst the lower part
can be pre-mounted on the slab prop.

Shoring Systems
Shoring consists of temporary structural

elements that can be set up and dismantled at their point of use. They support
the formwork for concrete support structures until sufficient hardening has taken
place or transfer loads from components
and equipment during the construction,
maintenance or demolition of structural
works. Load-bearing elements are props,
shoring towers or modular scaffolding.
Apart from tubular steel props, aluminium
props are used which can be connected
by means of frames and also utilized as a
shoring tower or formwork table. Shoring
towers can also be realized using frame
supports by means of connectors. For
very high loads, e.g. in bridge construction,
heavy-duty props are frequently used.
70
Enormous flexibility is offered through the

use of modular scaffolding, ranging from a
simple shoring tower through to complex
spatial shoring, and can be adapted to suit
virtually any geometry as well as different
loads.

Working Scaffold
Working scaffolds are temporary structures which serve to create higher-positioned working areas for construction
site activities, on buildings or at an
industrial facility. In addition, the scaffolding must ensure that all working
areas can be safely reached.
Originally characterized by timber and rope
connections, the scaffolding sector has
been dominated for many years now by the
use of modular systems made of
metallic
materials. They provide shorter installation
times, flexibility for geometrical adjustments as well as a high load-bearing capacity and safety for both operators and users.
On construction sites, mainly reinforcement

scaffolding along with working platforms
are used whilst narrow facade scaffolds
find use on the front of buildings. Industry
scaffolding serves as access and working
platforms in plant construction.
Selection criteria for a system for

erecting working scaffolds
Area

PERI UP Rosett Flex has a grid system of

25 cm and 50 cm. The wide range of ledgers
with lengths starting from 25 cm allow decking to change direction during installation
and therefore ensure maximum adaptability
to suit project-specific geometries.
89
Access
System scaffolding also provides solutions for temporary access to working

levels at different heights. The range of
applications extends from stairs with
only a few steps through to stair towers
over 90 m high.
The intended use of an access determines
the circle of users and thus the requirements regarding the geometry and loads.
An important criterion is the differentiation
between access for construction work and
access facilities in public areas.
Accordingly, specific requirements for flight

widths, the execution of intermediate landings and the safety equipment among
other things are to be taken into consideration.

Protection Scaffold
Protection scaffold is not used as work

scaffold or platforms but rather as an
accompanying measure. It secures construction personnel against falling as
well as unfavourable weather conditions.
Furthermore, protection scaffold is frequently installed in order to protect site
workers underneath or the flow of traffic
from falling components or objects.
In accordance with the different potential
risks and dangers, there are a range of
options available, for example, protection
fans or protective nets.

For the refurbishment of the hall roofs of a railway

station, a 190 m long protection scaffold allowed rail
operations to continue safely below.
During the renovation of approx. 10,000 m roof area,

passers-by could safely use the open space situated
underneath thanks to a protection scaffold based on
PERI UP Rosett scaffolding.
104
For the refurbishment of the glass roofs of this station,

platforms comprised of VARIOKIT system components
served as a protective roof which could be moved into
the next hall by hand.
As if on rails, the construction team shunted the

platforms from one track section to the next. Moving in
a longitudinal direction takes place by means of a trolley
from the VARIOKIT engineering construction kit.
105
Climbing Systems
For the construction of wall sections at

great heights, platforms are required
which support the wall formwork as
load-bearing scaffold. In addition to
easy-to-assemble folding platforms,
there are climbing system variants that
rapidly shift the formwork upwards as
large-sized units using different moving
procedures in part crane-independently.
In contrast to scaffold platforms, climbing
systems are securely mounted units consisting of brackets, platforms and wall formwork which are lifted as one unit to the next
concreting section after striking has taken
place. With the traditional crane-climbed
formwork, units are moved by crane and
attached to climbing anchors which had
been concreted in advance. Modern railclimbed systems are guided up the building itself during the lifting operation which
makes the climbing procedure wind-independent, fast and safe.
106
If a hydraulic climbing device gradually lifts

the units to the next storey, then this is
called a self-climbing formwork. With this
crane-independent variant, the climbing
unit is also guided by means of rails and
anchored to the building using suitable
climbing shoes. A difference is made
between purely self-climbing systems with
integrated hydraulics and crane-independent rail-climbed systems that are retrofitted
with mobile self-climbing devices.
For different building shapes and tasks,
special system versions have been developed: crane-climbed and self-climbing
formwork for facade areas, building cores
and shafts, for bridge pylons as well as
climbing protection panels as wind shield
and anti-fall protection.

Climbing Systems
LPS as a straight continuous protection panel without

working platforms.
The close-meshed panels provide a safe and secure enclosure which nevertheless is still
light-transmissive. Advantage and very convenient to carry out working operations in the
building in daylight conditions especially when striking the slabs.
The mesh panels are telescopically arranged and can be

easily adjusted to suit the respective ground plan.
The clamp connector for fixing to the climbing rails can

be quickly and easily mounted.
No crane is required for installing the lightweight mesh

enclosure as the panels can be moved by hand.
LPS is the alternative to heavy, enclosed

protection panel systems. Two variants
allow different applications on buildings
with open facades: with working platforms
as access to stopend formwork or continuously straight. Rail-guided climbing ensures
a fast and safe moving procedure.

RCS Rail Climbing System

The universal modular system
for a wide range of applications
Climbing Systems
TRIO panel formwork can also be used with the RCS

climbing system.
The formwork is securely mounted on the carriage and

can be retracted by 90 cm without the use of the crane.
Due to the roller bearings, it is easy to operate as well
as being jerk-free.
Foldable runners allow the

lateral dismantling of the
climbing shoe and simplify
the initial assembly.
The RCS climbing rail can

be inclined 4 in forward
as well as reverse directions.
Both system variants formwork scaffolding and climbing protection panel can also be climbed by means of
mobile hydraulic units, and thus crane-independent.

PERI RCS climbing combines the advantages

of different systems in a modular system
that makes the easy adaptation to site-specific requirements possible. Rail-guided
climbing takes place quickly and safely by
crane also in windy conditions or, as an
option, crane-independently with mobile
climbing hydraulics.

ACS Self-Climbing System

Safely moved upwards with hydraulic drive
without a crane
Climbing Systems
PERI ACS self-climbing variants for

facades, building cores, shaft structures
and inclined bridge pylons make the
construction of high concrete structures
extremely economical, fast and safe. The
efficient sequence of operations from
floor to floor facilitate allow a very high
level of productivity and exceptionally
short cycle times.

ACS P the solution for advancing cores of high-rise

buildings and tower-like structures combined with
ACS G. Both formwork sides are movably attached to
the cantilevered platform beams.
The PERI climbing mechanism is at the heart of

all ACS variants. The positively-driven pawl system
operates automatically and safely with a lifting
speed of 0.5 m/min.
The ACS self-climbing versions can also be combined.

Three variants are formed here combined with the
VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork and the TRIO panel
formwork crane-independent climbing units.
The high load capacity of the building authority

approved PERI climbing anchors allows climbing
to take place shortly after concreting. The optimal
climbing shoe and anchor type are determined for
each individual project.
ACS V can be adjusted to accommodate forward and

reversed-inclined piers and pylons. Regardless of the
angle of inclination, the working platforms are always in
a horizontal position.

Formwork for bridge and tunnel construction is complex and usually features a
combination of (heavy) shoring and
project-specific formwork. The planning
must include the entire construction
process which is particularly influenced
by the construction method and procedure as well as structural dimensions.
For bridges, the geographical constraints
and construction procedure significantly
determine the formwork solution. It is
possible that realization of the superstructure can be carried out using falsework,
the incremental launching method, with a
mobile falsework, steel composite method
or the balanced cantilever method. For
all variants, system solutions have been
developed which are in essence adapted
to suit the geometrical boundary conditions
of a bridge.
120
For tunnel construction, a distinction is

made between realization in an open excavation pit and underground using mining
techniques. The tunnel tubes can be contructed monolithically, semi-monolithically
or with separately cast cross-sections.
The length of the tunnel and the geological
conditions significantly determine the
choice of construction procedure. Each
formwork carriage is planned according
to the respective project requirements and
the user can choose between mechanically
and hydraulically-operated solutions.
For improving the cost-effectiveness of
the individual formwork solutions in civil
engineering projects, modular construction
systems have been developed that aim to
achieve the highest possible number of
uses of the system components and the
minimization of special parts.

The VARIOKIT Concept

Supporting structures cost-effectively erected with system
with materials and expertise from a single source
The VARIOKIT Engineering Construction Kit

Solutions for framework constructions
PERI VARIOKIT is the engineering construction kit with standardized components.

Only three core components are required
for a wide range of applications. PERI, however, not only supplies the required materials for civil engineering projects but also
the associated know-how as a customized
overall solution for the construction work.
VARIOKIT allows customized framework

constructions with standardized components for virtually all geometries for every
construction site requirement.

This supporting formwork solution consisting of

VARIOKIT system components ensures safe transfer
of loads for the construction of cantilevered slabs.
The core components of the VARIOKIT engineering
construction kit: steel walers, climbing rails and
heavy-duty spindles.
PERI provides cost-effectively optimized solutions from a single source

including assembly sequences and
construction processes.
Experienced engineers develop design
solutions whereby load optimization,
flexibility and functionality are optimally
combined to match the respective sitespecific requirements. Included in the
PERI overall solution are all technical
documents such as static calculations,

assembly drawings and instructions for use.
The ongoing support of the project management team from the analysis of various
possible solutions through to the efficient
handling of return deliveries this ensures
cost-effective implementation.
Raised formwork units comprised of system components from the VARIOKIT engineering construction kit
support a PERI UP load-bearing scaffold. The heavy-duty
spindles allow optimal adaptation to suit the inclined
contact areas.
122
Units made of elements from the VARIOKIT modular

system support the reverse-inclined formwork elements
for the inclined legs of a 200 m high TV tower.
Cantilevered VARIOKIT framework units from rentable

system components carry the high fresh concrete loads
of the massive 28 cm thick balconies with 1.30 m high
parapets.
123

Project-specific solutions for tunnel construction
The diagonal strut is installed using standard connections in the slab beam. The regular hole pattern in all
system components provides many connecting possibilities and therefore a high level of flexibility.
The walls and slabs of this tunnel are constructed one

after the other. A wall formwork carriage moves on
ahead, ...
... four tunnel slab carriages follow. Dispensing with the

use of hydraulic elements was the most economical
solution for this project.
The lifting and lowering device allows the tunnel slab

carriage to be hydraulically lifted into the concreting
position and then subsequently lowered.
The PERI concrete pump connector is compatible to the

TRIO and MAXIMO panel formwork systems as well as
the VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork.
Suppliers, e.g. for vibration equipment, provide

matching accessories for the required connections to
the widespread VARIOKIT solutions.
VARIOKIT allows customized tunnel formwork carriages with standardized components for each tunnel construction method
and every cross-section. Additional components, e.g. for lifting, lowering and moving
are likewise available as well as required
technical accessories such as a concrete
pump connection.

customized bridge formwork with standardized formwork for each bridge component and all geometries possible. This
results in customized solutions for bridge
superstructures as well as the construction of cantilevered parapets for every
site requirement.

Heavy-duty shoring tower and heavyduty truss girder
for transferring high loads from the bridge
superstructure
The complete parapet track is attached to the underside

of the bridge by means of rails and roller units. As a
result, the parapet to be formed on the superstructure
is accessible at all times.
The parapet carriage on the superstructure transfers

loads via the cantilever beams, and is flexibly adaptable
to accommodate obstructions and cross-section changes.
On the basis of the VARIOKIT engineering construction

kit, heavy-duty shoring towers can also be used. The
standard assembly with 4 legs carries up to 280 t.
The formwork carriage for steel composite bridges provides high rigidity in both the longitudinal and transverse
directions. Another advantage is the flexible arrangement
of the carriage supporting point on the bridge main beams.

Special Formwork
Occasionally, there are requirements

placed on formwork solutions which
cannot be fulfilled with system formwork
on the jobsite. The reasons for this could
be particularly complex forms or special
construction methods. In these cases,
project-specific prefabrication facilitates
cost-effective on-site implementation.
For multiple use of formwork, e.g. the

monolithic construction of walls and slabs,
solutions are also available which are used
for high number of repeat uses with
pre-assembly according to project requirements only required once.
The approach taken for one-off solutions

is to use as many components as possible
from existing formwork and scaffolding
systems. If system components can be
re-used for other applications after dismantling, then customized solutions or special
designs can definitely be realized very
cost-effectively.

UNO for the Monolithic Construction Method

Same building structure quickly and efficiently formed
horizontally and vertically in one step
Special Formwork
The UNO system has been designed to accommodate a hydrostatic fresh concrete pressure of 80 kN/m.
This facilitates rapid concreting operations.
For
wall thicknesses from 8 cm to 30 cm and slab thicknesses up to 30 cm

fresh concrete pressure 80 kN/m (hydrostatic)
Crane-independent working operations with lightweight aluminium elements
Depending on the wall height, maximum 3 wedge couplers and ties per joint

Simple striking of the walls due to the spacer couplers
Early striking of the slabs through the drophead, optional direct support for
the panles
Easy to clean
Permissible
The project-related, prefabricated individual components

can be assembled on site very quickly and without a crane.
Connecting the pre-fabricated wall elements is carried out

with the UNO wall wedge coupler. The wedge is quickly
and easily fixed in position with one blow of a hammer.
With PERI UNO, walls, columns, slabs,

beams and stairways are realized using the
monolithic construction method. UNO thus
provides a fast solution for the shuttering of
frequently repetitive floor plans. The individual elements of the system are produced
according to project specifications as well
as taking into consideration the high PERI
quality standards. As a result, all structural
dimensions and building geometries can be
accommodated.
130
The unique tie technology allows installation to take

place from one side. Only when tightening the tie is a
wrench (SW 19) needed.
The striking procedure is quick: It begins with the removal

of the wall panels and wall/slab transition element and is
completed with the dismantling of the slab panels.
Simple assembly
Customized prefabricated individual components can be quickly assembled, only
requiring a hammer and a SW 19 wrench for the tie operations.
Simply unique
Conical ties, installed from one side, re-usable again and again

3D Formwork Units
Precision-made for
an individual design
Special Formwork
For the construction of complex, multicurved reinforced concrete components,

PERI provides an extensive range of customized formwork. Based on a 3D building
model with so-called free-form surfaces,
three-dimensional formwork units are
planned and produced ready-to-use. Thereby, common requirements are a neat joint
and tie arrangement along with the highest
quality concrete surfaces without visible
rivet and screw impressions.
Custom manufactured
On the basis of a 3D model, precision manufactured under optimum conditions in the
stationary PERI formwork construction
Cost-effective realization

Cost-effective realization with a maximum proportion of common, rentable system components
Thanks to the assembly under stationary conditions of high production quality
Complex shapes, architectural concrete surface requirements with economically feasible prefabricated formwork units.
132
On the construction site, the prefabricated formwork

units can be assembled in a similar way as for system
formwork.
During the planning phase, the use of system components, e.g. GT 24 girders or VARIOKIT steel walers, is
maximized.
The 3D formwork units are built on VARIO basic elements. The individual components can be used for other
applications after being dismantled.
These inclined reinforced concrete towers with different

cross-sections and varying radii were realized with customized VARIO GT 24 elements.
The south side of this building extends in the form of a

radius; at the same time, the reinforced concrete wall
on the ground floor inclines up to 35 on the inside.
133
134
Numerous smaller items of construction

equipment ensure that a wide range of
supporting formwork and scaffolding
work on the construction site can be carried out easier and quicker. Proven
wooden formwork girders and stopend
systems are just two examples of products that are used almost on a daily
basis but are rarely in the spotlight. The
creation of safe working areas is also
often considered as a sideline activity.
by the fact that there is often an unsatisfactory execution result.
Often overlooked or viewed as unimportant,

system-independent accessories play an
important role in every project. If the equipment is not available, then makeshift measures are implemented with all the disadvantages, e.g. very time-consuming as well
as the risk of injury. This is often aggravated
Therefore, the quality of the materials used

along with the production processes are of
great importance during the development
and manufacture. New materials and production methods likewise lead to further
developments such as innovative ideas for
even easier handling during day-to-day operations on the construction site.
Formwork girders, safety systems and construction equipment are also being constantly optimized and adapted to meet
changing requirements. This results in
numerous clever detailed solutions with
functionalities that accelerate working operations and avoid improvisations often
being very reliable over many years.
135
GT 24 Formwork Girder
The versatile lattice girder with high load-bearing capacity
VT 20K Formwork Girder

The cost-effective solid web girder
The struts penetrate the chords along the whole

cross-section. There are practically no cavities which
could collect and hold moisture.
Robust steel caps on the chord ends provide reliable

protection against damage. Securing of the steel cap
has been intentionally done in the unstressed area of
the web.
The GT 24 formwork girder provides a high

load-bearing capacity and rigidity. During
use in wall, column and slab formwork
systems or with special formwork, material
usage and workload can therefore be
reduced with the girder.

FTF Facade Formwork

Versatile construction for the realization of building facades
with prefabricated components
Pallets and Crate Pallets

For safe transportation and optimized
storage
PERI FTF is used for the construction of

building facades with prefabricated components for either fixing the elements while
work is carried out on the slab or for simultaneously concreting an in-situ column
which connects the two prefabricated parts.
Most of the components are taken from the
VARIO and SRU systems; FTF requires only
few additional components.
PERI offers reusable transport containers

for fast, safe and economical materials
transportation. These include system-free
pallets, large-sized pallets, stacking devices
as well as wire crates and hardware boxes.
All containers provide orderly material storage, space-saving stacking, rapid access to
materials and the safe transport with a forklift and/or crane.
Variable
Easily adaptable to a wide range of building
geometries, and is used with or without
column formwork
Strong
Accommodates standard prefabricated
component dimensions without any intermediate supports

These galvanized pallets are used for stacking and transporting formwork and scaffold components.
For the variant with column formwork, the supporting

construction consists of two FTF brackets with lateral
bracing and the column formwork with working scaffold.
The cast-in-place column subsequently connects the
prefabricated component.
Boxes are used for storing items which cannot be or are

difficult to stack. This hardware box is available in a galvanized or painted version.
This pallet has been optimized for 25 MULTIPROP

props. As for all PERI pallets and stacking devices, it is
suitable for crane and forklift operations as well as movable with the pallet lifting trolley.

monitoring of material requirements all of
which is continually adapted to suit the
actual construction process, often with
many changes. And with the completion of
the project, all materials have to be cleaned
or possibly repaired ready for the next use.
At the beginning of every project, an analysis is carried out regarding the requirements
of the formwork and scaffolding solution.
At the same time, the planning must not
only fulfil project-specific boundary conditions but also take into consideration the
individual demands of the execution. Costeffectiveness as well as safe and site-compliant application must likewise be included.
There are therefore a wide range of tasks

which require not only extensive knowledge
and experience, but also trained experts,
corresponding machinery and work space
as well as software solutions. If such
accompanying activities are carried out
carefully and on time, the economic efficiency of the project implementation can
be further increased.
The subsequent actual implementation of a

smaller room units. For walls, columns
as well as slabs, the concrete construction fulfils all requirements regarding
functionality, cost-effectiveness and

in-situ with individual building forms.
Also in living areas, concrete is increasingly being used as a modern design

Saving time with MAXIMO and SKYDECK
The one-sided tie installation procedure of the MAXIMO

The PERI solution with MULTIFLEX and MULTIPROP for

forming the circumferential balconies was simultaneously

Jrgen Pischof
Site Manager
With SKYDECK, we have exactly the
right slab formwork system for our
construction project the drophead for
early striking and simple, easy hand
ling have really convinced us. And the
MAXIMO wall formwork is 25 percent
faster than conventional panel form
work systems; especially the one-sided
anchoring saves a great deal of time.
The formwork solution developed by
PERIs Austrian engineers was based
on modern system formwork with
MAXIMO and SKYDECK. Due to the
shorter shuttering times, the shell of
the building could be completed in
only 10 months.
On the area that was formerly Viennas
former Nordbahnhof, around 10,000 apart
ments and 20,000 jobs will eventually be
162
created over the next few years. The urban

development design of two eight-storey
residential buildings with a total of 91 hous
ing units included generously equipped
facilities with balconies and loggias, as well
as concrete cast in place. In this connection,
increased architectural concrete require
ments were to be met for the walls and
undersides of the balconies.
The 10-month construction schedule for the

structural work was extremely tight.
Through the use of MAXIMO and
SKYDECK, the walls and slabs could be
formed much faster which meant, in
conjunction with well thought-out cycle
planning, on-site material requirements
remained manageable. With the MAXIMO
panel formwork, the resulting time-savings
were mainly due to the MX tie technology
with ties installed from one side along with
the systematized and reduced number of

anchor points. In addition, attractive concrete
surfaces were achieved through the clearly
structured joint and tie arrangement.
The storey slabs were formed systematically
with the lightweight aluminium SKYDECK
panel slab formwork, the recurring assembly
sequence and easy handling accelerated
the shuttering and striking procedures.
Through the use of the drophead system,
the panels and main beams could be used

at an early stage for the next concreting
cycle. For forming the balconies, PERI
engineers selected MULTIFLEX girder slab
formwork supported by MULTIPROP shoring
towers. As a result, the increased architec
tural concrete requirements could be met
and, in coordination with the site manage
ment, the cantilevered slab formwork
simultaneously served as circumferential
working scaffold.

to retaining and silo walls. As an additional
benefit, K & L Construction promised
achieving attractive visibly remaining

a neat joint and tie arrangement.
Already after only the first operations in

the company was certain that it had made
the right decision. Then, by eliminating the

The new bank building of the Banco Ciudad de Buenos

A dimensionally-accurate design, faultless

architectural concrete quality and a high
working operations speed in order to bring
these three essential requirements into line
during construction, PERI project engineers
in Buenos Aires developed a customized
formwork and scaffolding concept. The lon
gitudinally-moved table solution was posi
tioned on an intermediate platform which
stretched across the entire width of the
structure and facilitated fast 16 m cycle
sequences without any time-consuming
assembly work. The on-site platform require
ments for only two cycle lengths was suffi
cient as the scaffolding sub-structure could
be quickly moved section-by-section.
A spatially designed PERI UP Rosett Flex
scaffolding construction and the MULTI
FLEX girder slab formwork system formed
horizontal working and support levels at
heights of 13 m and 16 m. Above this, formgiving formwork units were mounted on
slab tables which could be moved on the
intermediate level to the next section by
hand with the help of the PERI transporta

basis of the VARIO system were delivered
prefabricated to the construction site, and
connected using a VARIOKIT raised form

shoring towers to form large-sized table

Completion of the 350 houses was carried out in regular 2-day cycles.
With the help of the UNO formwork,

350 residential buildings could be monolithically constructed in 2-day cycles,
while the walls and slabs of an entire
floor were concreted in one pour.
The new housing estate on the outskirts of
the Chilean city of Linares is comprised of
350 homes. The ground floors were com
pleted using a monolithic in-situ concrete
construction and the top floors realized as
timber frame constructions. Due to eco
nomic considerations, there are only two
floor plan versions.
For monolithic forming, the construction
team used the lightweight aluminium UNO

were required for the complete shuttering

work including cleaning and transport to the
next place of operations. As the walls are
struck before the slabs in the UNO system,
time-consuming temporary storage for the
slab panels was not required.
For each building, 237 m and 205 m of
wall and slab areas respectively were to be
formed. The walls were formed after the
reinforcement was in place and the electri
cal and sanitary installations had been pre
pared. The small number of anchors
reduced the work involved for cutting the
reinforcement and, with tubes not being
required due to the conical tie design, time
and material costs could also be saved. At
the same time as the slabs were shuttered,
the slab reinforcement and installations
were being supplemented.
With the drophead system, early striking of the slab

elements could take place.

Ocean Plaza Business Centre, Kiev, Ukraine

Continuous work operations without interruptions
The right system equipment, optimized on-site material requirements and comprehensive support
accelerated the construction progress of the modern, four-storey complex in downtown Kiev.
With a comprehensive formwork and

scaffolding solution, PERI engineers
supported an ambitious construction
project in the Kiev city centre.
The schedule for the structural work was
extremely tight in order to ensure that
work was completed in time for the start
of the European Football Championship
in July 2012. The right system equipment
with optimum on-site material requirements contributed to the success of the
project along with expert advice and
support provided throughout all phases
of construction.
The four-storey Ocean Plaza is a business
centre in a prime downtown location. This
modern complex with a total of 250,000 m
of floor space and 3,000 underground
parking spaces was realized in three con
struction stages. In close consultation with
the site management team, formwork and
scaffolding requirements were analysed at
an early stage and system equipment indi
vidually tailored to meet project demands.
In addition, PERI engineers provided techni
cal and logistical support throughout the
construction period through to the comple
tion of the project. This led to optimal
results as well as continuous operating
sequences without any interruptions.
SRS circular column formwork supplemented
by TRIO column and wall formwork ensured
fast construction progress. The 30 cm thick
172
reinforced concrete slabs were formed

using MULTIFLEX with support provided for
the standard 3 m floor heights using PEP 20
and MULTIPROP slab props. In those areas
where loads had to be transferred over
great heights, the MULTIPROP aluminium
props were connected with MRK frames thus
forming a modular shoring tower system.
For the multi-storey retail units with a wide
range of height offsets and cantilevers,
supporting heights were required which
stretched from two to four floors. Further
more, the largely column-free architecture
resulted in the use of massive downstand
beams. With PERI UP Rosett Flex, the con
struction team had a highly flexible shoring
system at its disposal. Shoring towers
with 1.50 m and 2.00 m base widths were
formed that were adapted to suit the
respective supporting height and load,
and extended, if required, with additional
frames. In areas with large supporting
heights up to 13.80 m, a spatial load-bear
ing structure was used to transfer the
loads. Adaption to concentrated loads
resulting from 1.20 m thick beams was
carried out using 50 cm and 75 cm ledgers.
Thus, the standards were bundled within
the system which meant time-consuming
tube and coupler assembly was not
required. Cantilevered brackets in the
load-carrying system supported the GT 24
and VT 20K formwork girders in those
positions where extra working space was
needed at the slab edges.
For transferring loads over several floors, PERI UP shoring

towers were assembled and used as a spatial load-bearing
structure up to 13.80 m high.

us especially in this hospital project,
one of the greatest Mega projects in
the Middle East.
For one of the largest construction

projects in the Middle East, by exactly
matching project requirements along
with the availability of large quantities
of materials, this ensured that the
extremely short construction schedule
could be maintained.
Five 14-storey hospital ward buildings are arranged

around the central main building which also features three
underground parking levels for 7,000 parking spaces.
With 1,168 beds, the Jaber Al Ahmed Al

Sabah Clinic in Kuwait City is one of the
largest and most modern hospitals in the
Gulf Region. The seven-storey main building
is surrounded by five hospital wards
arranged in the shape of a star which have
up to 14 floors and are almost 65 m high.
In addition, the clinic complex has three
underground parking levels with a total of
7,000 parking spaces as well as several
outbuildings and one technical building.
For the entire construction project, around
650,000 m of concrete had to be formed
on schedule and cost-effectively.
In order to maintain the tight construction
schedule in spite of the extraordinary
dimensions, large quantities of formwork
materials were required. The PERI project
solution included optimum system use each
time coupled with matching on-site material
requirements to suit the construction
schedule. Furthermore, PERI engineers had

superb architectural concrete finish.
With the help of a comprehensive formwork and scaffolding solution designed
to match the high requirements, the construction team required only 11 months
for the structural work.

rentable system components such as steel
walers, heavy-duty spindles and standard

operations were accelerated along with an
enhanced work performance. With SKYDECK,
floor slabs could be formed without the
need of a crane; in particular, with striking
being carried out manually as well as the
systematic assembly sequence, construction
processes were accelerated. In addition,
through the use of the drophead and the
possibility of early striking, the amount of
panels and main beams required on site
was reduced.
Christian Schumacher
Site Manager (Shell)
In terms of scheduling dependencies regarding
subsequent working activities as well as cost-effectiveness, the truss girder solution for realizing the
building cantilever proved to be the best solution.
In addition, using SKYDECK is optimal for the
repetitive floor geometry: it is lightweight and
thus crane-independent, and in particular ensures
consistent quality and the time required is easy to
predict. And with the high slabs, the MULTIPROP
towers are a real alternative to the classical birdcage
scaffolding construction.
180
The construction team only required eight

days for one complete standard floor. For
the floors in the base section, a high degree
of safety was ensured using cantilevered
SLT 375 main beams and SKYDECK platforms, also at the slab edges. For the large
supporting heights reaching over several
floors, the construction crew combined
SKYDECK with the MULTIPROP load-bearing scaffold.

the large loads from the 8.88 m cantilevers
for two complete floors of the building and
the low 3.52 m height of the storey below
had to be taken into consideration. For the
Central and East Towers, a double-storey
could be used for this purpose here, the
supporting formwork solution also served
as a supporting structure between the
floors. Extensive know-how was also used
to good effect in the beam extensions
after the inherent load-bearing capacity
of the building had been reached. For this
purpose, the construction site crew used
the PERI lifting carriage taken from the
SKYDECK large slab table system. By
means of a crane lift, a special chain block
system and rear carriage, the shear frames
were pulled horizontally from the building.

Regarding environmental and climate protection, Italian architect Stefano Boeri, went
his own way with his concept of an ecological high-rise building aligned with nature:

With the help of the project-specific moving
procedure using a crane and electric cable
winch, units can be pulled from the building. As a result, an entire floor comprising
18 framework units could be moved within
only half a day, followed by the shaft platforms and shoring towers. Due to the irregular arrangement of the balconies, the loads
often had to be transferred over the height

of several floors, especially on the corners

flexibility and high load-bearing capacity
with only a small number of diagonals made
the scaffold solution quick and cost-effective. For work on the steel construction,
the diagonally-positioned profiles had to be
accessible from all sides. With bracket cantilevers and the use of corner plates for the
inside corners, the working areas could be
adapted with maximum effect to the steel
components. In addition, adapting to the
complex structure was achieved by changing
the direction of the decking: the span direction of the decks could be changed within a

formwork units were dimensioned to ensure
that they could be used almost unchanged

without additional assembly work in spite
of the geometrical changes in the structure.
For the, in part, only 2.50 m wide shafts,
the VARIO internal elements climbed all
four walls on only one RCS platform up to
the next floor.
For installing the natural stone, the facade
scaffolding was optimally adapted to perfectly suit to the complex geometry of the
building on the basis of PERI UP Rosett
Flex modular scaffold. The scaffold planning
was created with the help of PERI CAD
software and took into account the varying
ground plans featuring numerous projections and recesses as well as the three
crane towers. Planning work and proof of
stability went hand-in-hand here: this
ensured planning reliability and optimum
material utilization especially for scaffold
sections 100 m high. The standard bay
lengths featured 1.00 m working widths and
2.50 m long scaffolding bays, whilst
required length, width and height adjustments were carried out in 25 or 50 cm
increments.

developed a comprehensive formwork
and scaffolding solution in close cooperation with the project management
using a combination of ACS self-climbing
technology, TRIO panel formwork,
SKYDECK slab formwork and RCS climbing protection panel.
The formwork for constructing the columns

with cross-sections of up to 1.20 m x 1.20 m
and heights up to 6.50 m was based on
rentable formwork elements taken from the
MAXIMO, TRIO and RAPID systems. For
minimizing on-site work requirements, PERI
delivered the column formwork already
pre-assembled. The elements could also be
used for the inclined columns of the structurally bracing outrigger floors; likewise the
constraint points of the gable composite
columns could also be taken into consideration. SKYDECK panel slab formwork was
used to form the 25 cm thick slabs of the
standard floors. The drophead system
allowed early striking thus reducing on-site
material requirements. An integrated RCS
Material Lifter on the front sides of the
building was used to move the slab formwork for up to four floors thus saving on
crane time. These were concreted in two
phases and supported with additional columns in order to be able to transfer the
high loads.
For constructing the three core areas of the
DC Tower, ACS self-climbing technology in
combination with TRIO panel formwork was
used. For reinforcing the 80 cm to 100 cm
thick core walls, 9.60 m high reinforcement

Evolution Tower, Moscow, Russia

Twisted floors in weekly cycles
With an elegant 150-degree rotation, the

Evolution Tower twists its way upwards
into the Moscow sky reaching a height
of almost 250 m. For this, PERI engineers
developed a crane-independent formwork concept based on the RCS and ACS
self-climbing technology.
Through the spiral-shaped design of the distinctive rectangular columns on the building
corners, the rotational effect is even more
striking. The project-specific PERI selfclimbing formwork concept for the inclined
and twisted corner columns was based on
ACS and RCS system components whilst a
special gallows construction accelerated
the shuttering and striking procedures. In
the area of the building
corners, the external formwork served as slab edge formwork

when forming the floor slabs; in addition,
the RCS formwork scaffold unit also acted
as a climbing protection panel and thus part

of the building enclosure.
Core walls and floor slabs were concreted in
one pour formed with VARIO GT 24 girder
wall formwork and customized UNIPORTAL
slab tables. In order to reach the required
weekly cycle, the ACS self-climbing system
facilitated crane-independent working
operations and ensured high productivity.
In addition, the three top floors under construction were always tightly enclosed with
the RCS climbing protection panel.

The good construction result is proof that we selected the right
formwork provider for this unique project. Whether self-climbing
technology for twisted corner columns, diagonally-climbed RCS
climbing protection panel, ACS for core walls, SRS circular column formwork or the slab table solution for the floors we could
trust and rely on the experience of PERI for all formwork tasks.

The inclined-positioned climbing rails of

the RCS climbing protection panel were
constantly connected to the building by
means of slab shoes.
The VARIO girder wall formwork for the

core walls was climbed with the help of the
ACS self-climbing system in regular weekly
cycles using 4.30 m concreting cycles.
Even the landing platforms were climbed

rail-guided with help of the mobile RCS
climbing hydraulics and without any
crane support.
The units climbed the twisting form of the

building in an inclined position also craneindependent with the help of the mobile
climbing hydraulics. Likewise, the RCS landing platforms moved steadily upwards on
the sides of the building in inclined positions without any crane support. These
could be easily moved to suit the changing
positions by means of adaptable forward
and reverse inclinations.
Due to the geometric features of the
Evolution Tower, with the combined climbing
formwork utilization for the core walls and
corner supports in connection with the
obliquely climbed protection panel and landing platform, a test set-up was an important
part of the PERI overall solution. This meant
that the applicability under construction
site conditions could be demonstrated and
further optimized through fine-tuning adjustments.
The 249 m high Evolution Tower is part of Moscow

City, Moscows international trade centre which is the
largest investment project in the Russian capital. Due
to the fact that each of the 52 upper floors is constantly
twisted by 3 in relation to the preceding one whilst
being arranged around the central core of the building,
the skyscraper experiences an elegant rotational movement in a clockwise direction from the base to the top

special solution and logistical services.
As a result, the respective optimal formwork and scaffolding technology was
available for the construction team at
the requested time and in the required
quantities.
The internal and external formwork were connected to

the internally-climbed ACS system to form crane-independent, self-climbing units.

tapers upwards with the 37 floors being
arranged around a central, likewise ellipticallyshaped, reinforced concrete core.
The PERI formwork planning took into
account two different project requirements:
for the five base floors with variable heights
and component dimensions, the versatility
of the systems used, i.e. RUNDFLEX,
SKYDECK, CB climbing platforms and
PERI UP, were very much the centre of
attention. For the following storeys with
4.20 m concreting height cycles, the ACS
self-climbing technology ensured regular
fast cycle sequences. Due to the varying
wall thicknesses, RUNDFLEX was used as
continually adjustable external formwork
and fixed rounded VARIO formwork elements
internally.

Mobile RCS self-climbing devices reduced the costs

incurred here for crane-independent climbing.
The hydraulic cylinder could be easily mounted on the

climbing shoe between the wall and climbing rail.
With only one set of hydraulics, the climbing units were

lifted in pairs to the next floor.
Through the use of mobile climbing

devices, the RCS climbing formwork was
extremely cost-effective and, with help
of ACS P platform units, the placing
boom could also be climbed without
requiring a crane.
Together with the VARIO girder wall formwork, the ACS and RCS formed generouslysized climbing units for the continuous construction of the storeys using 4.28 m concreting cycle heights. To save time as well
as assembly and storage space, the VARIO
formwork elements were suitably assembled in the PERI formwork assembly hall
and delivered ready-to-use to the construction site. The PERI UP Rosett Flex scaffold-
ing system complemented the formwork

systems to form a comprehensive project
solution. The modular scaffolding provided
an extremely wide range of applications
through its universal use as a stair tower,
reinforcement scaffolding and load-bearing
system. Thus, for example, a site staircase
assembled as a 10-leg tower with 1 m step
widths was used to provide safe access to
the working platforms of the topmost floors
under construction.
The Vila Olmpia district in the west of So

Paulo is considered to be the up-and-coming economic and financial centre of the
country. An association of architects headed by Csar Pelli was responsible for the
design of the two modern, approx. 140 m
high office towers, each with 33 floors.
The reinforced concrete cores of both towers each have ground plan dimensions of
30 m x 25 m whilst the wall thickness taper
from 45 cm to 30 cm. In order to be able to
carry out crane-independent forming and
concreting operations, PERIs Brazilian engineers designed a system package based on
ACS and RCS self-climbing technology. Both
systems were climbed hydraulically without
any crane support. The heavy-duty ACS P
variant was used on the central shaft so
that the formwork along with the placing
boom could be moved. Most of the wall
formwork was climbed from cycle to cycle
with the help of the RCS rail climbing system whose climbing rails were securely
attached to the building by means of guiding shoes. Through the use of only a few
mobile RCS hydraulic climbing devices, the
costs for crane-independent climbing could
be minimized.

provided us with ACS and RCS innovative
system solutions that were tailored to
suit our daily jobsite operations. In addition, we were briefed from the beginning
onwards regarding the correct application. We certainly hope to continue
working with PERI in future projects.

Situated in the middle of the financial, economic and cultural centre of Tel Aviv and at
a sought-after location on Rothschild Boulevard, the 150 m high building was designed
by the renowned architect Richard Meier.
The 42 floors feature a total of 147 exclusive apartment units. The elegant building
is dominated by white facade elements.
The high-rise building, constructed in the
form of a skeleton structure, has a square
ground plan with a massive reinforced concrete core which was realized with the help
of ACS self-climbing formwork. For this, the
VARIO girder wall formwork climbed to the
next section each time supported by four
ACS P platforms. In addition, DOMINO
panel formwork for forming the stairwell
intermediate walls was attached to the
ACS. On the external facade, the RCS
climbing protection panel provided maximum safety when forming the slabs, beams
and edge columns. In order to save crane
capacity, the RCS also served to accommodate the DOMINO stopend formwork. With
the lightweight aluminium SKYDECK panel
slab formwork, the systematic assembly
sequence allowed the floor slabs to be very
efficiently constructed. For the cantilevered
balconies on the four corners of the building,
generously-dimensioned which resulted
in a reduction in the moving times slab
tables on the basis of the VARIODECK slab
table system were used.
Storage and assembly area availability was
extremely limited due to the downtown
location. In order to affect construction site
activities to the least possible extent, the
VARIO elements were mainly prefabricated;
in addition, deliveries and assembly of the
climbing formwork units took place during
the evening hours and at night.

Well ahead of schedule with PERI system application and support
The RCS climbing protection panel serves as anti-fall protection and

protects against falling objects; thus, work on the facade could also be
subsequently completed very quickly.
The ACS and RCS self-climbing systems,

in connection with a system application
which had been optimally adapted to
meet the project-specific requirements,
ensured that construction of the storeys

The glass facade spirals 166 m into the sky of Da Nang

and gives the administration building a futuristic appearance.
The precisely-rounded VARIO formwork for

the core walls, together with CB 240 and
CB 160 platforms, formed large-sized climbing units which were moved with the crane
thus valuable time could be saved for
each moving operation. PERI engineers
supplemented their VARIO solution with
project-related prefabricated internal corner
elements so that even very acute angles
could be struck without any problems.
In order to keep up with the rapid pace of
work, the 25 cm thick floor slabs including
the downstand beams were formed
with customized slab tables based on the
MULTIPROP load-bearing system. This
could be easily moved by hand using the
transportation trolley and lifted by crane as
large-sized units. In addition, another important part of the PERI solution was the steel
circular formwork for the 12 inclined reinforced concrete columns on each floor. This
was likewise planned and realized using a
customized approach. For this, PERI engineers not only took into consideration the
different diameters ranging between 75 cm
and 130 cm but also the change in inclination on each floor. The use of PERI UP stair

transfer of loads. Interface problems were

kept to an absolute minimum, errors in the
execution were avoided and productivity
was maximized. Furthermore, the formal
way for the building contractor was far
more simple as PERI engineers also coordinated and provided the static for both the
shoring and formwork.
The implementation was technically
extremely challenging. For example, the
entrance foyer of the large opera house
cantilevered for more than 16 m at a height
of 20 m over a total length of 46 m.
Here, PERI UP Rosett modular scaffolding

was used as working scaffold and shoring
with metric grid dimensions. In addition,
the use of 25 cm long ledgers allowed bay
widths and depths to be sub-divided as
required. Furthermore, the massive, up to
1.20 m thick structural components of the
stage tower 15 m above the centrally
positioned stage resulted in very high
temporarily loads, combined with high
demands placed on the load-carrying construction regarding the geometrical adaptation. For this, PERI UP shoring was combined with the MULTIPROP system.

For the realization of this freely-accessible walk-in sculpture, PERI developed a

formwork solution using formwork units
based on proven products. The constant
change in curvature and inclination
meant that 3D formwork planning was
required.
The Sheikh Zayed Desert Learning Centre is
a mixture of museums, galleries and natural
history exhibitions. It symbolizes a change
of course by the Emirates in the direction of
more emphasis on sustainability and demonstrates the preservation of its landscape
and culture. Externally, the building is characterized however by its unique design, the
particularly high demands placed on the
construction work especially regarding the
formwork and temporary support structures. When planning the formwork solution, the maxim was to accommodate the
complex geometry by means of different
component dimensions. No inclination, curvature and arching featured in the components is repeated as an individual plan of
execution was compiled for each wall formwork element.
Furthermore, the large component dimensions with up to 3 m high beams and 2 m
thick walls resulted in high loads during
212
concreting. VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork was used, flexibly adapted to suit
these boundary conditions as well as all
geometries and a fresh concrete pressure
of more than 100 kN/m. As a quick and
safe solution for the single-sided transfer
of loads, SB brace frames were utilized for
wall heights up to 3.60 m.
Due to the complexity, three-dimensional
planning and visualization was required
which was an essential part of the PERI
overall solution. This made the formwork
solution clear and understandable to all
those involved and created a sound basis
for efficient construction work. In addition,
detailed plans supported the assembly of
the three-dimensional formwork elements
on the jobsite. Design and construction processes also had an effect on the formwork
planning: the building twists upwards like a
tunnel resulting in the fact that load transfer
is centred in only a few places. As a consequence, a large part of the formwork had to
remain in position after being installed until
these areas had been completed. Thus, a
very close eye had to be kept on all formwork and support elements during installation and dismantling a big challenge when
considering the immense amount of formwork, and support structures involved.
Push-pull props and brace frames from the PERI

product programme served as temporary support
for the inclined walls.
The complexity with different inclinations and

curvatures required a customized formwork solution.
Each formwork unit was unique and very time-consuming

to produce. The basis throughout was formed by
VARIO GT 24 basic elements.

We decided to use PERI because
we had already successfully realized
the elephant and the hippopotamus
facility with its complex geometrical
forms and high architectural concrete
requirements together. Prefabricated
3D formwork elements on the basis
of the VARIO system were also used
for this project.
With a 3D planning service and the delivery of prefabricated formwork elements,

the high requirements regarding the
challenging architectural concrete finish
and shaping could be fulfilled. In addition, the use of rentable system components as basic elements made the
PERI
solution very cost-effective.
The Copenhagen Zoo has delighted animal

lovers and architecture enthusiasts alike.
With the Hippopotamus House from the
Danish architects Dall & Lindhardtsen and
the Elephant House designed by British star
architect, Sir Norman Foster, the spacious
complex features two architectural highlights. Since February 2013, The Arctic
Ring has been opened for visitors to experience the polar bears, seals and penguins
at first hand on an area totalling 3,200 m.
Precisely defined tie points and formlining joints were

part of the overall visual concept that PERI engineers
agreed on in advance with the architect.
The internal reinforced concrete ring was to be realized

as an axially symmetric four-centred arch with four
different radii ranging between 6 m and 14 m.
The central component is an ellipticalshaped structure with a covered indoor area

and a spiral ramp that provides visitors with
new, interesting insights and views time
and time again. For the frequently executed
reinforced concrete walls in the form of
ellipses using high architectural concrete
quality, PERI designed a 3D formwork
solution and delivered ready-to-use prefabricated formwork elements to the construction site. Before this, in close cooperation
with the team of architects, a regular tie
arrangement was determined, carried out
if necessary with blind anchors. In order to
align the joint pattern with a uniform length
classification to the inclination of the ramp,
the parallelogram-shaped formlining was
individually cut and then carefully bonded
at the PERI formwork assembly facility. As

a result, no rivet or screw impressions can
be seen on the concrete surface.
The formwork units on the basis of the VARIO GT 24

wall formwork system with bonded formlining sheets
were delivered ready-to-use to the construction site.
The formwork elements were up to 10 m high and were

lifted by crane between the reinforcement and PERI UP
scaffold.
The PERI supervisor briefs the construction crew on the

exact and very tight element connection achieved by
using the articulated coupling.
During the planning phase, PERI engineers

additionally took into consideration the conical 10 inclined design of the outer ring, as
well as the partly double-shell design, due
to the time-consuming insulation measures.
PERI UP falsework and reinforcement
scaffold units, as well as MULTIFLEX girder

slab formwork, supplemented the PERI
concept to provide a comprehensive formwork and scaffolding solution. For ensuring
a successful completion of the project,
along with the planning and assembly
service, the competent on-site support and
briefings by a PERI supervisor also made a
valuable contribution.

the rear this meant that the concrete
surfaces were free of any rivet and screw

During peak times, four Polish PERI assembly halls were entrusted with the formwork
assembly due to the very tight schedule
genuine teamwork at its best. The high
accuracy of fit achieved as a result, was
reflected, on the one hand, in the precise
shaping with straight edges. On the other,
valuable time could be saved on the jobsite
during forming operations because the
elements were handled similar to that of
a system formwork.
The V-shaped column elements with complex cross-sections were further accentuated by means of horizontal
chamfer strips.
Also the arch formwork was an integral part of the PERI

solution with complicated intersections of the vertical,
horizontal and circular components.

The PERI formwork solution developed

by PERIs French project engineers fulfilled the high architectural requirements
at a maximum level of safety. This
resulted in the best architectural concrete surfaces without tie points and
also accelerated construction progress.
The PERI formwork solution fulfils a number of tasks at the same time. With the
VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork system,
the tie pattern as well as formlining size and
arrangement can be selected almost freely.
Thus, PERIs French engineers placed the
tie positions in the area of the
recesses so
that no tie points are visible anywhere on
the entire concrete facade. Furthermore,

the joint pattern precisely matched the
requirements of the architect.
With only six VARIO formwork elements,
each 5 m wide and 10 m high, the wall
sections could also be realized extremely
cost-effectively. Through the combination
with the SVC system and the customized
platform systems for the VARIO formwork
specially tailored to the needs of French
construction site requirements architectural demands could be fully met as well as
maintaining consistent compliance with the

Waldschloesschen Bridge, Dresden, Germany

Elegant and economical crossing of the Elbe thanks to rentable

The name Waldschloesschen Bridge has not only

been given to the bridge structure itself but also refers
to the complete 4.5 km long traffic route which leads up
to it. For the planning of the bridge height and geometry,
a range of design aspects as well as ensuring an unimpeded view of the Dresden city centre were taken into
consideration.
In spite of the geometric changes found in the superstructure, only two standard raised formwork units were
used which resulted in a very high degree of material
utilization. On the VARIOKIT load-bearing system, GT 24
lattice girders provided support for the formlining.

wooden lattice girders transferred the loads
into the formwork units and allowed large

components used for the frame construction units were rentable.
The Waldschloesschen Bridge has a total

length of around 635 m. Two steel arches

between the two steel arches whilst
4.45 m wide pedestrian and cycle lanes
cantilever outwards on both sides of the
bridge respectively. The formwork solution

In order to minimize deformations, a total of

21 casting segments were planned for the

units: the length of the units was planned
so that they could be easily combined in
a number of ways for the construction of
the sections. The raised formwork units
mounted on-site are thus being used for
almost the entire bridge structure.

formwork units ensured fast and simple moving to the

suspended along a length of 225 m on a
centrally-arranged individual pylon by means
of stay cables. Up to a height of 50 metres,
it is A-shaped. At this point, the pylon legs
change to the shape of a fillet so that they
also do not touch in the area of the cable
anchorage they are connected with each
other by means of cross beams. In addition,
the dimensions of the shaft hollow sections
continuously taper and widen on the front
side at the upper end.
The combined use of two self-climbing systems guaranteed efficient and safe working
operations. For the forward and reverse
inclinations as well as the fillet with a
continuously changing angle of inclination,
the RCS rail climbing system provided the
optimal basis. There was an articulated

climbing rails. As a result, the fillet section
could therefore be climbed over at only
a 77 m radius in sections with 3.60 m
concreting cycle heights without requiring
any modification work on the formwork and
working platform. With the help of mobile
climbing hydraulics, moving procedures
took place without a crane. The ACS selfclimbing technology accelerated moving
operations on the front sides. Even with
the inclined climbing rail arrangement with
angles of up to 14, ACS ensured that the
high loads could be reliably carried.
An important element of the overall solution was the integration of the access
technology especially the connecting
bridge between the climbing platforms.
The so-called skywalk was joined to the
inner platforms by means of an articulated
connection and thus climbed automatically.
The connection of the elevator to the RCS
climbing platform was carried out by means
of a telescopic platform. This compensated
for the different spacings to the transportation cage at all heights thus ensuring safe
access to the working scaffold level at all
times.

Motorway Bridge T4, Paradisia-Tsakona, Greece

Supporting system solution individually adapted
Bundled 42-leg VARIOKIT shoring towers carried the

extremely high loads in the connecting area of the steel
arch connections.
By halving the 150-cm basic grid using 75 cm long

ledgers, the PERI UP could be optimally adapted for
the load concentrations.
PERI engineers combined two modular construction

systems to form a comprehensive load-bearing concept
with heights of up to 20 m.
A huge inclined pier supports the motorway bridge on the Greek peninsula of
Peloponnese. A team of Greek and
German PERI engineers supported the
site management team with projectspecific system solutions.
Supporting element of the bridge is a huge,

almost 30 m high, inclined twin-pillar pier
with an asymmetrical V-shape. On the one
hand, this serves as an intermediate support for the in-situ concreted carriageway
and, on the other, as support and starter
section for the steel arch.
formwork was formed, gradually increasing

up to the total support height of over 20 m
to the rear and upwards respectively. Using
25, 50 and 75-cm long ledgers, the 150-cm
basic grid could be adapted extremely flexibly here to suit the geometric and static
requirements. This allowed the polygonal
32 to 36 shallow-pitched inclined piers on
both sides of the bridge to be constructed
in eight segments, each 4.50 m long.
The 160-km long A7 motorway connects

the towns of Kalamata and Corinth. The
principle element being used to close the gap
between Paradisia and Tsakona is a 390 m
long arched bridge. Two-thirds of the 22 m
wide bridge superstructure is suspended on
a steel arch and was constructed using the
steel composite construction method. For
the northern bridge section, a pre-stressed
concrete superstructure variant was selected
which features a twin-cell hollow box crosssection.

PERI developed a comprehensive formwork

and scaffolding solution for constructing
the pier structure and reinforced concrete
superstructure as well as providing temporary support for the bridge during the entire
building project. Essentially, two modular
construction systems were combined with
each other in order to transfer the high
loads safely into the ground. With help of
PERI UP Rosett Flex, a spatial load-bearing
structure for the piers and superstructure
Trusses consisting of rentable VARIOKIT

standard elements supported the obliquelypositioned VARIO GT 24 girder formwork
and transferred the formwork and concreting loads of the inclined piers safely into the
scaffolding. In addition, the VARIOKIT modular construction system formed the basis
for the heavy-duty shoring. In the connecting area between the cast-in-place bridge
and steel arch, two 17 m high, 42-leg
heavy-duty shoring towers were used to
accommodate the high loads until the
inherent load-bearing capacity was reached.
Each tower was designed to carry loads of
1,200 t, as well as high earthquake and
horizontal loads, due to the long utilization
period. For load concentrations, four standard
towers respectively, each with 2.00 m by
2.00 m axis dimensions, could be bundled
by means of 37.5 cm additional frames
using only rentable system components
and type-tested connection means.

With the help of PERI modular solutions

for all formwork and scaffolding tasks,
the Vistula Bridge could be realized within a very tight construction schedule
largely independent of crane and weather.
The Vistula crossing near Kwidzyn extends
over a total length of almost 12 km. The
most important components are the 808 m
long main bridge and three foreland bridges.
In spite of the different constructions, PERI
provided a comprehensive overall solution
largely based on the VARIOKIT, RCS and
PERI UP modular systems.
238
The PERI concept for the main bridge

included self-climbing formwork for the two
bridge piers, the superstructure formwork
for the hollow box cross-sections with
formwork carriage as well as the falsework
for the edge sections. The parapet beams
were formed with the help of the VARIOKIT
formwork carriage which was customized
to meet site requirements, anchoring in the
structure was not necessary here. For the
bridge pylons, the TRIO formwork was
climbed using the RCS rail-guided climbing
technology - thanks to the mobile RCS
self-climbing devices without a crane and
regardless of wind and weather.
The superstructure of the foreland bridges,

with a total length of 1,000 m, was carried
out using the incremental launching method
with the help of VARIO girder formwork,
in 30 m casting segments in regular weekly
cycles. A protective roof construction based
on the LGS lattice girder system made the
construction work weather-independent. An
inside heating system ensured that working
operations continued during the winter and
consistently high concrete quality was
achieved. When required, the weather
protection roof took only a few minutes to
open as the roof segments could be moved
by hand without the use of a crane.
RCS climbed the bridge pylons rail-guided as well as

crane-independent thanks to the mobile self-climbing
technology.
ST 100 stacking towers served as falsework for the

edge sections of the 808 m long main bridge.
The LGS weather protection roof allowed continuous

construction progress regardless of the weather
conditions.

Quicker and safer assembly of
steel arched bridges
For assembling the steel arched bridge,

PERI UP served as shoring and working
scaffold at the same time. In addition, an
important element of the scaffolding
structure was the load-bearing capacity
and load transfer into the sub-structure
using system components.
Contractor
COSEI Consorcio, Fiansa
Field Service
PERI Peruana SAC, Lima
PERI engineers created an assembly scaffold

on the basis of the PERI UP scaffolding
system. This served as a temporary, up to
20 m high support structure for the steel
segments as well as a working platform for
the final assembly. Each arch consisted of
11 steel segments and had a total weight of
100 t. A big advantage for the design of the
shoring towers and working levels was the
high load-bearing capacity and, in particular,
the adaptability of the PERI UP Rosett Flex.
In addition, system components from the
PERI product portfolio supplemented the
scaffolding structure: through the use of
GT 24 formwork girders and SRU steel
walers, the load distribution was also systematized. As an integral part of the PERI
implementation planning and static calcula-
tions, the stability of the structure could be

extensively verified which led to shorter
set-up times.
The high flexibility of the PERI UP system
enhanced safety conditions for the steel
erectors and accelerated their work procedures. Then the different working levels
were continuously connected in a longitudinal
direction by means of system steel decks
with side protection ensured through the
use of ledgers. Due to the system grid of
25 cm or 50 cm, all adjustments can be
carried out without any time-consuming
tube and coupler connections; in particular,
the self-securing ledger assembly with the
gravity lock also increased the working
safety for the scaffold assemblers.

Chachenka Bridge, Moscow, Russia

VARIOKIT cantilevered construction in 10-day cycles
The 550 m long motorway bridge in the

west of Moscow was constructed using
the VARIOKIT balanced cantilever method.
The Russian-Polish PERI teamwork
tailored its bridge formwork solution to
match construction site requirements.
The motorway bridge over the Chachenka
River is an integral part of the 18.5 km long
road construction project that connects the
Moscow MKAD motorway ring with the M1
highway as well as bypassing the town of
Odintsovo which is situated to the west of
the Russian capital. Known simply as the
Belarus, the M1 between Moscow and
Minsk in Belarus is one of the most important road connections in Russia.
The bridge structure is 550 m long and consists of two parallel superstructures with
double-cell hollow box cross-sections, each
22.25 m wide and 4.00 m high. The individual span widths of the six bridge segments
range from 57 m to 110 m, realized using
the balanced cantilever method. A total of
10 sets of VARIOKIT balanced cantilever
equipment were used simultaneously in
order to symmetrically realize starting
from the piers each of the 12 sections
with cycle lengths between 3.40 m and
4.10 m until the gap was closed in regular
10-day cycles.

With the VARIOKIT balanced cantilever equipment from PERI, we could
realize the superstructure sections
and in the planned working rhythm.
On-site assembly was also carried
out very quickly.
PERI Russia delivered the cantilevered construction carriage and formwork from a single source, optimally adapted to match the
project requirements. In addition, the use of
rentable VARIOKIT system components was
extremely cost-effective. The integrated,

centrally-controlled mechanism with hydraulic cylinders as well as lifting and moving
devices for moving, lowering, lifting and
pre-tensioning of carriage and formwork
ensured easy handling of the cantilevered
construction unit. Shuttering and striking
along with moving from cycle to cycle was
carried out with only a team of six. Through
the compatability with the PERI UP modular
scaffold, front-mounted working platforms
and access means were also part of the
comprehensive PERI project solution.
For safe working platforms and access, VARIOKIT and

PERI UP could be ideally combined.

Bridge over the Danube near Beka, Serbia

Parapet construction of 130 m per week
across the Danube
Two groups of VARIOKIT formwork carriages worked

simultaneously for realizing the weekly completion of
six casting segments.
PERI UP suspended scaffold served as safe access

means to the bearing points on the pier heads.
With CB/VARIO climbing formwork units, the 40 piers of

the foreland bridge could be cost-effectively constructed.
A total of four VARIOKIT parapet carriages

operated at the same time which resulted
in the regular completion of six concreting
sections per week with a parapet length
of 130 m.
For the over 2.2 km long Danube bridge,

PERI engineers worked closely together
with the site management team to develop
a common formwork concept which envisaged the use of the VARIOKIT parapet carriage that was to be operated from above.
As a result, no additional mounting components, such as anchor sleeves, were
required on the underside. In addition, the
standardized assembly system minimized
the planning effort and ensured maximum
flexibility of the formwork carriage solution
when adapting to local site conditions.
Two formwork carriage groups, each with
four coupled VARIOKIT formwork carriages,
worked in parallel. This meant that six casting segments, each 21.50 m long, could be
realized in only five days 130 linear metres
of parapet per week. One of the formwork

carriages also took into account the designated points of the parapet widening in
order to accommodate the lamp posts.
Simple and thereby fast shuttering and
striking procedures, as well as the systematic concreting sequence, ensured rapid
progress for constructing the parapets
with a total length of 4,440 m. In this way,
the construction team was able to maintain
the extremely tight schedule without any
problems.
Parallel to the existing bridge structure, the

Danube crossing near Beska has been complemented by a so-called twin bridge. As a
result, a subsequent, continuous four-lane
expansion for the E75 motorway between
Belgrade and Novi Sad has been made pos
sible. On the southern side, a 180 m long
foreland bridge is joined to the 540 m long
main bridge which is supported on three
river piers, and the almost 1,500 m long
approach bridge to the north also crosses
a floodplain of the Danube river.

piers with heights up to 50 m. CB 240
climbing brackets and VARIO GT 24 formed
large-sized movable units with concreting
cycle heights of 5 m. For the bridge piers
with hollow box cross-sections, shaft elements made sure that the TRIO internal
formwork could remain connected as a

Trans-Rhumel Bridge, Constantine, Algeria

System solution for a complex bridge construction
With the help of the 3D planning, PERI

engineers developed a project solution on
the basis of mainly rentable system components. The individually designed and
flexibly adaptable superstructure formwork
with a well thought-out cycle sequence
saved valuable construction time.
The 750 m long cable-stayed bridge supported by two 130 m high pylons and six
bridge piers is an integral part of the 6 km
long urban motorway project. This has helped
to reduce traffic congestion in the city centre
which features a number of historical bridge
structures. Four lanes, with sidewalks on both
sides, cross the gorge-like Rhumel Valley at
a height of 80 m. The single-cell hollow box
cross-section features an extraordinary width
of almost 30 m. For its realization, which
included diverse project requirements, the
team of Algerian, Portuguese and German
PERI engineers working in close collaboration developed efficient formwork and scaffolding solutions. The systems used ranged
from TRIO panel formwork for the abutments and VST heavy-duty shoring towers
from the VARIOKIT engineerng construction
kit through to PERI UP working scaffold for
the assembly of the cable-stays on the
bridge pylons.
One of the biggest challenges was the bridge
superstructure above the pier heads. The
complicated geometry with differing crosssection widths as well as varying longitudinal
and transverse inclinations resulted in complex intersections. For this, PERI developed
a 3D-based, technical concept which was
easy to understand and implement without
any problems on the jobsite. The use of
rentable system components, in connection
with project-specific steel components,
proved to be the most cost-effective option.

The A4 motorway passes through the Maro

Mountain Range in the north of Portugal.
Near Vila Real, the route requires the building
of a 412 m long bridge for crossing the Sordo
Valley which is in the form of a five-section
structure with two separate superstuctures.
The almost 20 m wide and 3.60 m high prestressed concrete hollow box girders are
being realized using two different construction methods: the three middle bridge spans
with the balanced cantilever method and the
respective edge spans formed on falsework.
As falsework, the contractor is using heavyduty shoring towers from the VARIOKIT
modular system 6 m to 30 m high with
load-bearing capacities of 2,500 kN in each
case. The VST towers were erected as fourlegged individual structures which supported the 72 m long superstructure formwork
at defined load application points with axis
spacings of between 10 m and 24 m. Transversely, the tower measured 2.00 m in each
case, longitudinally between 2.00 m and
7.50 m depending on topographical and
static requirements. In those areas which
are subjected to particularly high loads,
additional legs with axis spacings of 37.5 cm
provided an increase in the load-bearing
capacities. This minimized material requirements as well as reducing the amount of
assembly work resulting in an optimized
utilization of the overall system.
The falsework was delivered to the construction site pre-assembled as 1.25 m to

10.25 m high variable frame arrangements,
further extended on the ground to form
tower segments, and erected and extended
with the help of a crane. Safe PERI UP
working platforms are used to ensure accurate positioning along with fixing in place
with bolts and pins. Together with the VST
towers, these were continuously added to
as required and were easily connected by
means of corresponding adapter elements.
In addition, both modular construction
systems are based on a metric grid pattern
so that the load-bearing system, working
levels and access technology could be
perfectly coordinated.

For construction of the motorway bridge

Through the use of rentable system components taken from the VARIOKIT engineering construction kit for the superstructure formwork and shoring, the PERI
solution was extremely cost-effective.
The difficult terrain required supporting heights ranging

from 6 m up to more than 30 m.
The falsework for the edge sections was an important

component of the formwork and scaffolding solution for
the 412 m long motorway bridge.
The two modular systems VARIOKIT and PERI UP can

much on safety. The compatibility with the

PERI UP modular scaffold was the basis
for the creation of safe working areas with
a minimum of effort for the construction
team. Using standardized connection parts,
PERI UP could be combined with the
VARIOKIT components.
The single-cell hollow box cross-section of
the superstructure varies in height from
around 2.50 m up to 6.10 m. The result was
a continuous change in the angle between

the outer side of the web and the cantilevers which meant the web formwork had to
be re-adjusted for each concreting section.
For this, PERI developed a simple and practical solution with variably fixable slab formwork and a formable steel sheet between
the web and carriageway formwork. The
construction team thus achieved extremely
accurate results in accordance with the
required low dimensional tolerances.
3.50 - 5.00
With some supplementary system components, the VARIOKIT engineering

construction kit can also be used for the
balanced cantilever construction method.
For the construction of the motorway
bridge near Tarnow, the construction
crew achieved a 4 to 5-day cycle thanks
to the easy to use, mechanical solution.
At the same time, the high requirements
concerning the very small tolerances for
the variable bridge cross-sections could
be fulfilled.
252
The 600 m long motorway bridge is supported by twelve pairs of 13 m wide piers.
The two parallel superstructures of the foreland bridges with hollow box cross-sections
were realized on falsework with the help
of VARIO GT 24 formwork elements as well
as ST 100 and MULTIPROP shoring towers.
For the 210 m long section between the
seventh and the tenth piers, the balanced
cantilevered casting method proved to be
the most cost-effective solution. A total of
four cantilever construction units were used
for constructing the bridge superstructure
in 48 casting segments respectively.
Construction of the superstructure moved
forward symmetrically in both directions

from the starting point of two piers with
3.50 m to 5.00 m long sections until the
gap was finally closed.
The VARIOKIT cantilevered construction
equipment demonstrated its great flexibility
during the forming of the bridge cross-sections and, at the same time, was easy to
operate. In particular, the moving procedure
to the next concreting section each time
was extremely user-friendly by means of a

On the basis of the ACS and RCS selfclimbing technology, the VARIO formwork climbed the pylons hydraulically
and without the need of a crane. In addition, a 90 m high PERI UP stair tower
provided site personnel very safe access
to the working platforms.
The pylons were realized in 24 sections, each with 4 m

concreting cycle heights whilst taking into account
inclined shafts and variable cross-sections.
The ACS self-climbing scaffold steadily moved safely

and smoothly upwards on climbing rails by means of a
hydraulic drive system.
50 km north of Bergen, a 523 m wide

suspension bridge majestically spans the
Dalsfjord. The two H-shaped pylons are
both around 100 m high and the upwardly
tapering cross-sections of the double piers
are designed with external pilaster strips.
With the help of the PERI self-climbing
solution, the construction team was able to
complete the 24 concreting sections in regular weekly cycles crane-independent and
regardless of the weather. For this, PERI
engineers combined the external ACS selfclimbing system with the rail-climbed RCS
positioned on the inside. The VARIO girder
wall formwork as part of the climbing units
provided the required shaping. A PERI
supervisor briefed site personnel during
the initial assembly and operational start-up
of the climbing formwork, and ensured
fast construction progress from the very
beginning.
Not only was the connecting bridge
between the two sets of pier formwork an
integral part of the PERI formwork solution:
a stair tower on the basis of the PERI UP
Rosett scaffolding system provided safe
access to the respective working platform.
The stair tower featured alternating staircase units with 64 cm wide flights of stairs
and continuously extended in accordance
with construction progress up to 92 m high.
The stairs were anchored at regular intervals with PERI push-pull props in order to
safely bridge the ever-growing gap to the
inclined pylon shafts as the tower increased
in height. For this, the existing anchoring
points for the ACS could be used.

As a result, we could maintain the tight

complete solution which was developed through the
excellent cooperation with the project management.

Pfnder Tunnel, Bregenz, Austria

Crosscut with a high proportion of system components
PERI planned, designed and delivered a

tunnel formwork carriage based on rentable system components in a very short
space of time. The execution proceeded
smoothly and without problems whilst
the dimensional stability resulted in
excellent concrete results.
Bernd John
Site Manager
The entire process went very
smoothly. It took just three weeks
from designing the formwork carriage
to the first concrete placement.
The 6.6 km long Pfnder Tunnel near

Bregenz connects the Austrian A14 Rhinetal
motorway to the A96 highway on the
German side. For realizing a continuous fourlane expansion, a second tube was excavated using a tunnel boring machine (TBM)
parallel to the 30-year old east tube and
then lined with pre-fabricated liner segments. A 43.10 m long crosscut combines
the new with the old tube and thus enables
evacuation to take place in the event of fire.
9.80
Due to the small length of the tunnel, PERI

designed a mechanical formwork carriage
solution. Generously-sized working levels
served the simple operability which apart
from high degree of safety was given top
priority. Shuttering and striking was carried
out by means of spindles whilst the formwork carriage was moved using flanged
wheels on crane rails. In spite of its filigree
construction, the formwork carriage provided high dimensional stability which resulted
in excellent concrete finishes.

For this, PERI provided a cost-effective

formwork carriage was thus extremely
economical and, in particular, was available
at very short notice. In order to minimize
the assembly work on site, seven sub-segments were prefabricated in the PERI
assembly hall and delivered to the construction site. After only 10 days, the construction
team could begin work on the first of altogether seven concreting segments. The
standard length of the tunnel segments
was 5.90 m; after a short period of introduction, a 3-day cycle could be achieved.

rentable system components, the VARIOKIT

PERI engineers developed two formwork
carriage constructions with hydraulically
controlled shuttering and striking procedures. The bottom slab formwork was
mounted on a support frame whose launching beam bridged two section lengths and
could be freely moved independently of the
formwork. With the help of a second formwork carriage, the side and ceiling arches
were formed and concreted together.

Wankdorf Underground Roundabout, Bern, Switzerland

Load-bearing and form-giving project solution for underground
roundabout
Marcel Knzler, Project Manager

and Manfred Ebener, Foreman
The complex construction task with up to 2.70 m high

beams and 1.20 m thick reinforced concrete slabs
required a comprehensive formwork solution.
Load-bearing combination: MULTIPROP slab props were connected

with MRK frames to form shoring towers which supported the
subsequently installed GT 24 double main beams.
Re-positioning a roundabout almost 10 m

under the ground transformed a somewhat dismal downtown intersection into
an attractive gateway to the countrys
capital. PERI provided a comprehensive
formwork solution for the realization of
the massive beams, reinforced concrete
slab along with the conically-shaped
roundabout walls formed in architectural
concrete.
The customized wall formwork elements for

the curved external walls of the roundabout
were prefabricated on the basis of the PERI
VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork system.
The radii ranged from 30 m to 45 m with a
wall inclination of 10:1. Particularly advantageous was the combined use with TRIO
panel formwork on the opposite side. For
this, the tie points of the VARIO elements
were matched to the TRIO tie arrangement.
Wankdorfplatz was transformed into a

two-storey structure and the underground
roundabout with a 50 m diameter has accelerated the flow of traffic. At the same time,
space was created for pedestrians and
cyclists above ground as well as greatly
improving bus and tram connections. For
construction of the pre-stressed beams and
reinforced concrete slab along with the conically-shaped roundabout walls in architectural concrete quality, PERIs formwork
solutions were used consisting mainly of
rentable PERI system equipment which
perfectly matched the requirements of the
contractor. Due to the traffic intersection
being heavily frequented during the construction period, only limited storage space
was available which meant the formwork
materials were delivered to the jobsite on
a just-in-time basis.
Construction of the 1.80 m wide, crossshaped beams with heights between 1.15 m
and 2.70 m, took place on a combined loadbearing and working level which angled
upwards to the centre of the roundabout.
This was formed using GT 24 twin main
beams and VT 20 cross beams, supported
by shoring towers consisting of MULTIPROP
slab props connected with MRK frames.
Variable height adjustments could be carried out very quickly by means of the freerunning collar and the integrated measuring
tape. TRIO panel formwork also found use
as side formwork. The double thickness
formlining, screwed on from the rear,
resulted in excellent architectural concrete
surfaces.
266
With pre-fabricated VARIO GT 24 wall

formwork elements, the inclined external
walls of the roundabout were realized in
architectural concrete quality.
PERI complied with our requests

right from our very first meeting.
The comprehensive support planning,
static, logistics through to the on-site
service also had a very positive
impact on the project.
The four truncated cone-shaped slab segments are up to 1.20 m thick with a 3 %
gradient on the upper side as well as different inclinations and a number of height
offsets. The extremely tight construction
schedule meant that sufficient formwork
materials had to be available on site for
the complete slab area approximately
1,400 m. For the intermediate platform
that covered the entire area, GT 24 cross
beams were radially positioned on GT 24
twin main beams which was in turn supported by the MULTIPROP system. The
precisely assembled form was achieved
by means of additional modules.
Due to the accurate prefabrication at the
PERI assembly hall, they could be quickly
assembled on site.

competently supported by PERI headquarters in Weissenhorn. Well in time for
the start of construction work, the system equipment was sourced from the
PERI logistics centres as well as being
produced within the space of only a few
months and then shipped to Central
America. Altogether, more than 700 containers were needed for the operation.

operations. To ensure that the tight schedule can be maintained, over 4,200 site personnel process 6,300 m of concrete on a
daily basis in two shifts. Within a three-year
construction period, approx. 6.6 million m
of concrete and 337,500 t of steel will have

The expertise of PERIs engineering staff was invaluable to our project. Their unique and innovative
formwork designs served a variety of applications,
including a challenging shoring design utilizing the
VST System. PERIs solution allowed us to execute
our project in a safe, productive and timely fashion.
For the construction of the massive walls of the intake

channels and powerhouse, the PERI overall solution was
supplemented by wall formwork systems and climbing
scaffold.
For increasing the generating capacity of

the 100 year old Holtwood hydroelectric
power station on the Susquehanna River,
the project management decided in
favour of the formwork and shoring concept of PERI USA engineers after carefully reviewing proposals from numerous
vendors. Essentially, VARIOKIT heavy
duty shoring towers served to safely
transfer the enormously heavy loads
from the slabs of the intake structure. In
addition, the planning and supply of the
formwork and scaffolding was from a
single source so that the systems used
were perfectly matched to one another.
Expansion measures included an intake

structure as well as a powerhouse characterized by their large dimensions resulting
in high loads being imposed on the formwork and shoring. One of the biggest challenges was maintaining the tight schedule.
For the north wall and 30 m high south wall
of the powerhouse along with the pier walls
of the six bays of the two turbine units,
CB 240 climbing brackets were combined
with TRIO panel formwork to form climbing
formwork units. For single-sided concreting
of the external walls against the rock face,
the SKS climbing scaffold system was used
in combination with VARIO GT 24 girder
wall formwork.
PERI supplied the VARIOKIT heavy duty shoring towers for the intake channels as preassembled thereby ensuring assembly time on site was kept to an absolute minimum.
272
Extremely high loads had to be carried to the

ground during construction of the intake
structure roof: slab thickness of up to 4.60 m
and the 13.20 m height that had to be
bridged required heavy duty load-bearing
shoring. VARIOKIT shoring towers were
used with three separate towers being
aligned in a single row in each of the bays.
The 6 and 4-legged towers were positioned
on HDT main beams with a corresponding
special wedge connection component compensating for the bottom 34 % slab inclination. For height adjustment at the top of the
towers, VST head spindles were utilized
which allowed hydraulic lowering and lifting

For the almost 2 years of structural work,

the construction team used proven and
versatile systems. As a universal supporting
system, the ST 100 stacking tower could
be used with support heights ranging from
1 m to 15 m, often with varying contact
areas. With the TRIO panel formwork, the
differing wall heights could be cost-effectively realized, with the help of SB brace
The different cross-sections of the turbine tract in the

power house could be cost-effectively constructed with
TRIO and RUNDFLEX.
The ST 100 stacking tower required only 5 system components for all heights and was mounted without
tools.
The support and cooperation with

the PERI engineers was exemplary
everything worked perfectly.
Concreting of the 500 m long underwater

gallery with a 5 m internal diameter was
carried out in 12 m standard sections using
a coupled VARIOKIT tunnel formwork carriage. Striking, moving, shuttering and concreting operations were performed on a
daily basis with hydraulic support. PERI
engineers designed their construction
based on the intention that the extremely
tight curvature areas at the start, with an
axle radius of 25 m, could be polygonally
realized. Only in the transition area to the
straight tunnel tubes with a 10 % incline in
the direction of the outlet structure were
the carriages coupled.

Cooling Water Tank,

Gas Power Plant, Putrajaya, Malaysia
Circular tank cost-effectively climbed
and reliably sealed
The PERI project solution for the almost

34 m high cooling water tank included
an economical climbing concept with
accurately assembled formwork elements, as well as the reliable tie technology and sealing method.
The 33.70 m high circular tank for cooling
water storage has an internal diameter of
45.50 m, and was constructed using in-situ
concreting operations. The 75 cm thick reinforced concrete wall is vertically reinforced
by means of four pilaster strips in the ring
wall integrated buttresses, each 1.40 m
thick and 4.20 m long.
PERIs Malaysian engineers provided the
construction team with a cost-effective but
efficient climbing formwork solution with
the VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork system and CB 240 climbing scaffold. Compared to a conventional circular formwork
system, a large number of cost-intensive tie
points could be saved with the use of the
VARIO system. In addition, numerous steel
installation elements in the shear walls for
determining the tie positions were taken
into consideration.

A total of 128 rounded VARIO elements brought the

cooling water tank with its 45.50 m internal diameter
cost-effectively into shape.
Together with the type-tested CB climbing

scaffold system, the formwork and scaffolding could be moved using only one crane
pick to the next section with a 4.25 m concreting cycle height in each case. In each
case, two VARIO panels together with a
CB platform formed one climbing unit, with
5.40 m external and 4.50 m internal standard platform lengths. With support provided
by a PERI supervisor, a total of 128 VARIO

panels were accurately produced on the
assembly area of the construction site.
The friction-locked connections between
the steel walers were achieved by means
of VARIO articulated couplings while the
additional infill spaces provided the exact
curvature of the formlining.
Especially for structures with special requirements,

such as watertightness, selection of the right anchor
technology is crucial. With the SK system, the tie points
are closed and reliably sealed by means of bonded
concrete cones.

Industrial buildings and installations

normally fulfil operational and economic requirements. Industrial building also includes the construction of
power plants for generating electricity
as well as their expansion, maintenance and modernization.
The planning and realization of industrial
structures and installations is determined
by the demands of current and future
production processes. Functional and
economic aspects outweigh any architectural requirements which usually are of
secondary importance. The actual execution is often connected with stringent
safety regulations; at the same time,
structural work to be carried out and
technical equipment installation also
require close coordination of the construction sequences. Approvals, type
tests and technical documentation serve
to verify the quality and reliability of the
system equipment used.

Westfalen Power Plant, Hamm, Germany

High level of safety for assembly and use
Zbigniew Zo
Site Manager
The PERI UP Rosett Flex system fulfils the
three most important requirements in industrial
construction: high level of working safety, optimal
adaptability and fast scaffold assembly
The PERI scaffolding solution took into account the

existing steel structure along with the walkways which
had already been installed.
During the assembly work as part of the

new power plant development, PERI UP
Rosett Flex proved to be extremely
adaptable and thus fulfilled the highest
requirements regarding the working
platforms which were to be installed.
Given that the modular scaffold was
mounted with the guardrail in advance,
required safety levels for the scaffolding

degree.
of working platforms from the PERI UP

Rosett Flex modular scaffolding system.
Thus, one externally-mounted working scaffold with integrated 75 cm flights of stairs
was used for the final assembly of the eight
inlet ducts. The scaffold solution could be
optimally adjusted in a metric grid arrangement to suit the up to 4.50 m cantilevered
funnel shape suspended in part on a scaffold construction comprised of PERI UP
system components.
With the two new D and E blocks, the

Westfalen power plant increased its
capacity by 1,600 MW. The high efficiency
and extremely effective filter and purification facilities make the coal-fired power
plant in Hamm the most modern in the
world. As the upgrading plant was to be
fully integrated into the existing site, all
construction and installation work had to
be carefully coordinated to match ongoing
power plant operations.
The PERI UP system grid was particularly

advantageous for the spatial scaffolding of
the funnel filter: scaffold bays could be horizontally and vertically divided almost arbitrarily with the help of standard components. As a result, the bay lengths of the
lower sections could be generously-dimensioned for easy access and with a minimum
use of materials. In the area of those relevant components with geometrical adaptation, 300 cm scaffold bays, for example,
were divided into three sections of 75 cm,
150 cm and 75 cm widths, so that construction could continue upwards with reduced
bay widths.
On the two 64 m long and 35 m high electrostatic precipitators for flue gas desulphurization, access for the welding and

Also, the insulation work on the 35 m high outer sides

required a safe working scaffold as well as stair access
adapted to match the steel structure. The modular scaffolding assembly was carried out extremely safely with

Biocel Pulp Mill, Paskov, Czech Republic

Systematic adaptation for completely safe working conditions
With the help of the PERI UP Rosett Flex

modular scaffold, the working platforms
could be optimally adapted to the silo
structural components without anchors
and pressure supports. As a result, all
welding, coating and installation work
could be carried out safely and according
to the required level of quality.
Radim Skora
Managing Director
The silos and the technical equipment with the countless number of
pipes in particular, presented an enormous challenge for the scaffolding
work. With PERI UP, we managed to
provide a scaffolding construction to
the satisfaction of our customer.
The pulp mill in the Czech town of Paskov

has expanded and modernized its production facilities. The special pulp produced
there is an important raw material for further processing into high-quality cellulose
fibre products. For this, five 13 m high circular steel tanks were erected which featured
diameters of varying dimensions. PERI UP
scaffolding provided safe and comfortable
working conditions for the complex welding
and coating work.
For a long-lasting coating, the surfaces
were not under any circumstances to be
soiled or brought into contact with any
foreign matter. Therefore, the scaffold
construction was realized without anchors

and pressure supports, and was also provided with temporary roofing. Due to the metric system grid, the PERI UP Rosett Flex
modular scaffolding allowed bay lengths
between 1.50 m and 3.00 m and bay widths
of 0.75 m to 1.50 m to be combined with
each other in 50 cm and 25 cm increments
respectively. The adaptability provided by
means of internal brackets and steel decking mounted in chess board fashion meant
that all working areas were optimally accessible and a high level of safety was ensured
when the scaffolding was used.
In addition, especially advantageous was
the fact that individual decks could be
removed at any time and installed in another position. As a result, the scaffolding
could be subsequently self-adapted for any
unforeseen technical installation work
without complex scaffold assembly and
whilst maintaining the high level of safety.

The steel hall above the waste collection

bunker is almost 60 m long and 34 m wide.
The concept developed by PERI engineers
included a PERI UP Rosett working scaffold
for the assembly of the wall elements.
Furthermore, this also served as a 15 m
high support for a working platform based
on the LGS lattice girder system. This was
47 m above the bottom plate of the bunker
so that the bunker roof frame construction
could be completed.

The waste incineration plant in Klaipeda is

the first thermal waste utilization facility in
the Baltic States and is regarded as a pilot
project. With a 50 MW heat and 20 MW
power output respectively, it covers almost
half the urban thermal energy requirements.
In addition, the recycling capacity of approx.
240,000 t/a household and industrial waste
as well as biomass, makes a significant
contribution for easing the burden on landfill sites in the region.
The 31 m long and only 7.50 m wide platform with integrated wheel units was supported on aluminium rails and could be
moved by hand in a longitudinal direction to
the next section. Compared to a flat scaffolding construction, time and material
requirements could therefore be significantly reduced. LGS girder segments were connected by means of 150 cm ledgers, which
had been pre-assembled on the ground and
then raised into position by crane. Due to
the limited load-bearing capacities of the
ground on one side of the hall, the platform
featured an 8 m cantilever on this side; as a

result, the span between the rails was
22.30 m.
An important element of the PERI scaffolding solution were the system components
taken from the extensive formwork portfolio. The use of SRU steel walers and RCS
climbing rails in the scaffold sub-structure
as well as anchors from the brace frame
programme avoided any on-site temporary
solutions and was also very cost-effective
due to the rentable components.

Our goal was to achieve a high surface quality. With PERI, we found a
very competent partner and, with their
support, we were able to fulfil all the
requirements and complete the project to our complete satisfaction.
Cost-effective climbing concept: with a complete platform level and halved on-site wall
formwork requirements, fast and continuous work operations were achieved.
With the PERI climbing formwork solution, nine silos grew steadily upwards in
2-week cycles with reduced on-site
material requirements which were precisely adapted to the project requirements. Ready-to-use elements from the
PERI formwork assembly hall ensured
dimensional accuracy.
286
Nine grain silos stretch 52 m into the sky

with which the Molino Agugiaro & Figna
company in Collecchio near Parma significantly expanded its storage capacity recently. The circular silos, with a 7 m diameter
and 25 cm wall thickness respectively, are
connected to each other. 1,350 tons of
wheat are stored in the silos; a neighbouring building, which was constructed at the
same time, houses the new cleaning and
grinding plant with a daily production of 30 t.
In order to maintain the 8-month construction schedule as well as ensuring an optimal construction process, PERI engineers
combined a complete CB climbing platform
level with the amount of wall formwork
reduced by a half. As a result, rapid and
continuous working operations reinforcement, forming, concreting could be
achieved with reduced on-site material
requirements. The concept, with 16 climbing cycles and 3.25 m concreting cycle
heights in each case, took into account that

only one crane was available and could not
be worked around the clock.
VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork elements
were used to form the silo walls, and the
formlining for the 3.50 m and 3.75 m internal
and external radii respectively was exactly
rounded by means of shaped timber formers. These were accurately pre-assembled
at the PERI assembly facility and delivered
ready-to-use to the jobsite. Tight connections

were ensured by using articulated couplings
which also meant that the formwork elements could be easily positioned. In addition, the PERI implementation planning
included construction-compliant realization
of the striking procedures within the constraint points. 88 CB climbing platforms
with CB 160 brackets on the internal and
CB 240 on the external sides of the silo
formed one complete working level.
Including the finishing platforms on the

CB brackets and concreting scaffolds on the
internal formwork, optimum accessibility
and safety was ensured on three levels.
This was complemented by an up to 40 m
high PERI UP steel staircase, mounted as
10-legged tower with 1.00 m step widths
and separate landings. Toe boards on the
landings and closed risers prevented any
small components from falling to the
ground.

Formwork, scaffolding and engineering for huge power plant
construction
The skeleton work for the power station complex

complete with fuel and slag bunkers, boiler house,
flue gas purification unit and tipping hall was realized
in only 18 months.
With PERI UP staircase towers, the working areas

could be safely accessed also at great heights.
For the massive components with a high

degree of reinforcement, PERI planned
and delivered the combined use of
climbing formwork, access technology,
reinforcement and shoring through to
the heavy-duty towers, optimally
matched to suit project requirements.
Construction site personnel continually

adapted the scaffold units to match the
building progress. The flexible fields of
applications maximized material utilisation
and the craneability of larger scaffold units
clearly accelerated the moving process.
Fast and safe access to all working areas
was provided by up to 60 m high PERI UP
staircase towers with 75 cm wide aluminium flights of stairs. Walkways and landing
junctions were also assembled with lightweight and load-bearing PERI UP Rosett
Flex system components. In addition, the
modular scaffold system was used as type
tested shoring for supporting heights of
up to 20 m and served as up to 10 m high,
craneable reinforcement scaffolding.
Four VST heavy-duty shoring towers from

the VARIOKIT engineering construction kit
supported the cantilevered massive components at heights of 23.60 m with a load of
over 200 t or 560 kN per leg. The heavy
duty towers were assembled easily and
safely in a horizontal position on the ground
using two 10 m sections which were supplemented with the corresponding base
and head units. The heavy-duty towers
could be ideally combined with the PERI UP
Rosett Flex modular scaffolding system in
order to form safe working platforms in the
head area. These had already been connected to the VST towers during assembly on
the ground and then erected together with
the tower unit this meant that no risky
assembly operations were necessary at
great heights.
In addition, PERI UP provided the basis for
all access means as well as the shoring and
reinforcement scaffold on the jobsite.

CB 240 climbing scaffold and VARIO GT 24

girder wall formwork formed crane-shiftable

to suit the complicated building geometry
with haunched corners and gradual tapering
of the walls from 1.40 m to 0.30 m.
The massive power plant walls were climbed with

CB 240 and VARIO. With every fourth climbing cycle,
the wall thickness is reduced by 10 cm.

Tallinn Oceanographic Museum, Estonia

Dome restoration with spatially adapted
shoring and working scaffold
Harto Vallimgi
Site Manager
PERI scaffolding enables us to have
access and to reach the most complicated
constructions this guarantees the safety
of our jobsite workers.
Due to the metric PERI UP basic grid dimensions,

shoring towers and stairways could be integrated into
the birdcage scaffolding without any problems.
The PERI UP Rosett scaffold nodes offer a wide range

of connecting possibilities and provide very rigid node
connections with a high load-bearing capacity.
Optimal working conditions at a height of almost 20 m

for carrying out the extensive refurbishment measures
on the underside of the dome.
One of the cultural highlights of Tallinn is

a historical domed structure dating from
the time of the last Russian Czar which
was converted into an attractive oceanographic museum. PERI UP was optimally
adapted here to suit the geometry of the
almost 100-year old reinforced concrete
complex and was used for a wide range
of applications on both the interior and
exterior.
In order to be able to optimally work on all

areas of the underside of each dome, the
PERI scaffold solution featured stepped
working levels in 50-cm increments at
heights of 11 m at the corners and 19.50 m
at the centre of the dome. For exact geometrical adjustments in the edge sections,
the substructure was sub-divided in each
case into two 1.50 m wide fields. In addition, cantilevers have been installed using
standard node braces thus providing 1.50 m
extended platforms at both ends.
Here, the shoring towers were fully integrated into the spatial working scaffold
used for renovating the underside of the
dome. In addition, a light-duty aluminium
stairway with alternating staircase units was
centrally positioned in the working scaffold
which ensured safe and easy access.
The reinforced concrete renovation work on

the self-supporting shell-shaped construction
complete with three impressive domes,
without disturbing any intermediate supports, was extremely time-consuming and
labour-intensive. The old reinforcement was
exposed using an ultra-high pressure cleaning device, corrosion protection was then
applied, followed by injection work along
with replacement of any damaged reinforcing bars all this in order to subsequently
install an additional layer of reinforcement
and a 50 mm thick shotcrete covering.
The domes had to be temporarily supported
so that overall stability could be maintained;
at the same time, the PERI UP scaffold system served as a spatially adapted working
platform with integrated shoring and stair
access. The detailed design of the birdcage
scaffold was based on metric grid dimensions of 3.00 m by 3.00 m.
The ring beams of the lanterns, the opening

in the centre of the domes, were supported
during the entire renovation operations with
the help of PERI UP Rosett shoring towers.
These had grid dimensions of 1.50 m by
1.50 m and carried up to 40 kN per leg
with heights of 21 m.
For the refurbishing work on the outer sides

of the domed structure, PERI UP T 72
facade scaffolding was used. This provided
a twofold level of safety: during the assembly sequence featuring the guardrail in
advance and utilization when fitting inside
guardrails without any accessories a big
advantage in the case of this oceanographic
museum with missing external walls. Here,
too, a stair tower provided safe access to
the roof and, when necessary, to the
respective scaffold levels.
Safe working conditions also for outside work:

with PERI UP T 72 frame scaffolding with internal
guardrail and without additional components.
PERI UP T 72 facade scaffolding complete with

site access stair tower scaffold supplemented the
comprehensive solution.

PERI engineers created an efficient and

through the use of rentable system components cost-effective formwork and
scaffolding solution for the refurbishment of an existing motorway underpass. With the VARIOKIT tunnel formwork carriage, the 4-man construction
crew was able to achieve the planned
weekly cycle also on account of the
problem-free shuttering and striking
procedures.

Significant damage to the polygonal-vaulted

underpass on the A19 motorway necessitated the construction of a replacement
structure. In addition, this resulted in
achieving a higher load-bearing capacity and
a structural widening from 52 m to 74 m.
Construction work included five 8 m long
standard cycles as well as two portal sections, and also featured an access portal for
agricultural machinery.
The site-compliant formwork carriage construction consisted largely of rentable system components and connections taken
from the VARIOKIT engineering construction kit. This solution allowed work to be
caried out in weekly cycles without a
crane and with only a four-man construction
crew. The formwork concept took into
account all the different stages of construction including retraction of the reinforcement using the tunnel formwork carriage as
well as the realization of an opening for

allowing the passage of agricultural traffic.
15 t of reinforcing steel was to be installed
per standard section. This was placed in an
extended and lowered position respectively
on the formwork carriage and subsequently
retracted and raised up to the existing
arched roof. Placing the highly compactable
concrete took place using 15 concrete pump
connections which were integrated in the
VARIOKIT formwork carriage construction.
The extended VARIOKIT formwork carriage stands ready

for placing the 15 t of reinforcement for the next casting
segment.
The F6 concrete was placed via 15 concrete pump

connections integrated in the VARIOKIT formwork
carriage construction.
In addition, PERI engineers took into consideration all scaffolding tasks as an integral part of a comprehensive project solution. Thus, PERI UP Rosett Flex modular
scaffolding mounted on the front side of
the formwork carriage served as a working
platform for operating the stopend formwork when extended. In the retracted concreting position, it could be back-anchored
in the cycle for the existing structure from
there. For efficient reinforcement binding
work, longitudinally-arranged PERI UP

reinforcement scaffold was also available
for the site personnel.

On the basis of the PERI solution featuring transversely and longitudinally

movable working and safety platforms,
refurbishment work for the glass roofing

out very quickly and without significant
interference to rail operations and passenger movements throughout the station. Thanks to the mutually supportive

The use of standardized, rentable system
components from the extensive scaffolding and formwork product ranges also

roof constructions of the five listed, 195 m
long platform halls were replaced section

Mobile platform units minimized the time

required for moving to the next phase. For
the planning of the PERI UP load-carrying
system, not only were the rail tracks to be
kept open but suitable walkways for pedestrians with sufficient width of passage
also had to be taken into consideration. In
addition to the vertical loads, the scaffold
sub-structure also carried all horizontal
loads from the platform. Anchoring to the
steel components which were to be refurbished was not possible due to structural
reasons. Safe access was provided by

The 190 m long protective roof construction straddled

duty system carried the loads even from
large spans of up to 10 metres and
reliably transferred these into the PERI UP
supporting structure. For accommodating
corresponding load concentrations, the
scaffold legs could be bundled together by
means of short 25 cm ledgers.
... where they were easily moved by hand in a longitudinal direction by means of a trolley on steel walers to the
next place of operations.

Eaton Centre, Toronto, Canada

Modernizing with PERI UP without restriction of use
During the modernization of the Canadian shopping centre, the PERI UP scaffold
solution made a very convincing case
through its great adaptability and provided both users and visitors with maximum safety. The extensive refurbishing
work was carried out during normal business hours.
The seven-storey Toronto Eaton Centre is
home to over 230 shops, restaurants and
service providers as well as an impressive
glass gallery, and is one of the largest
shopping malls in Canada. Over a period of
two years, the shopping centre underwent
extensive renovation and modernization.
While escalators, elevators, floor coverings,
balustrades and lighting were being
replaced on several floors at one time,
the mall nevertheless remained open for
visitors as usual.
With the help of the PERI UP Rosett scaffold system, PERIs Canadian engineers
created a project solution with working
platforms and integrated access for subsequent work carried out by sub-contractors.
Refurbishing work took almost 2 years

however, the Toronto Eaton Centre was
open for visitors during the entire project.
298
At the same time, protective roof structures

ensured that visitors could move around the
mall safely. Through the detailed scaffold
and cycle planning with generously-dimensioned passageways along with large-sized
advertising banners, a construction site
atmosphere was scarcely felt in spite of the
ongoing modernization measures. Bridging
width and passage heights were optimally
adapted to suit the use of the centre by the
visitors as well as the geometry of the
building.
Here, PERI UP Rosett provided several
advantages: the modular scaffold could be
flexibly adapted to the geometrical and static requirements for maximum accessibility for the workmen. The ledger connections
by means of the gravity lock, installation
of the steel decks with integrated lock
against lift off as well as the lattice girder
bridging with the help of the starter tube
also accelerated scaffold erection and
ensured safe working conditions during
assembly, modifications and dismantling.
Furthermore, selected system components
were used which, in addition to the static
requirements, also met all aesthetic
demands.
The publicly accessible areas were strictly separated

from the working areas by means of advertising banners
and thus made safe for passers-by.
David Gerdun
Site Superintendent
We have used PERI scaffolding systems in several projects in the past.
PERIs engineering design considers
the site conditions. The adaptable
PERI UP system, completed by logistic support enables us to achieve the
strict safety, speed, convenience and
esthetic requirements of the project.

Restoration of St. Vitus Cathedral, Prague, Czech Republic

Customized church scaffolding increases working safety
Required cantilevers could be realized with both scaffold

brackets and system diagonals.
PERI UP Rosett Flex adapts perfectly to the complex

geometry in 25 cm increments.
The restoration of the historic St. Vitus

Cathedral in Prague called for an adaptable scaffolding system with working
levels also designed to accommodate
the storage and transport of large-sized
blocks of stone.
Through the 25 cm grid arrangement,

PERI UP Rosett Flex can be adapted to suit
almost any geometric shape, and the direction of the decking within a scaffold bay can
also be turned at will. As a result, the distance between the working level and the
structural element to be worked on is minimized. This optimizes the working conditions for the stonemasons and increases
safety.
St. Vitus Cathedral is situated entirely within

the Prague Castle complex and is the most
visited place of interest in the country with
1.5 million visitors a year. In order to preserve the historic structure of the Gothicstyle cathedral which was built in 1344,
ongoing and extensive restoration work is
required.
The PERI UP Rosett Flex modular scaffolding system serves as a flexible, adaptable
working scaffold as well as for material
storage and support system for the almost
45 m high traction elevators. Thus, the
working levels are 4.50 m wide in some
areas in order to accommodate the largesized and up to 600 kg stone blocks.
During the scaffold planning phase, the cantilevered transition points to be mounted as
well as the defined load transfer into the
stable existing structure and on the access
areas were to be taken into consideration.
In addition, pedestrian tunnels are integrated into the scaffold construction which is
covered with safety nets in order to protect
the many visitors.
In order to preserve the historic structure of the St. Vitus

Cathedral in Prague, on-going restoration and scaffolding
work is required.

We love to work with PERI UP
because it is flexible and safe. This is a
big advantage particularly for the work
on the St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague.
