    Major technical calculations had to be carried out to construct the complex apex of the building. All framework conditions had to be considered – from wind and weather to the safety of the workers on the scaffolding and passers-by.
    The ACS Self-Climbing System was used for the first time in Denmark for the Lighthouse 2.0, having already proven its worth in numerous construction projects worldwide.
    The rail-guided climbing formwork scored points with its hydraulic drive, large climbing units, high lifting force and rapid processes, which meant that a concreting cycle of just one week per storey could be achieved.

    Award for Denmark's tallest residential building

    The “Lighthouse 2.0” construction project has created new living space with 381 new flats in the purpose-built district of “Aarhus Ø”, not far from the centre of the city of the same name. With its impressive height of 142 metres, the building has been the tallest residential building in Denmark since its completion in 2022. The top floors are home to a restaurant and a roof terrace that is open to the public – with fantastic views of the harbour, the sea and the city. The project has now received an award for the “Best Tall Building” in the “100 to 199 metres” category from non-profit organisation, the “Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat” (CTBUH).

    The A26 project stands out on account of its five different tunnel cross-sections. In addition, the bends feature tight radii of 50 m to 750 m and the tunnel gradients vary, making it difficult to implement the new transport network.
    To construct the 1,600-m-long access tunnel, PERI engineers developed the first customised and fully hydraulic special-purpose formwork carriage. This alone was sufficient to construct the different cross-sections in a total of 170 concreting sections.
    Given the fact that the very tight curve radii made it difficult to transport the tunnel carriage, an innovative caterpillar system was used to move it.

    The modular PERI UP Facade Scaffold now has an even higher load-bearing capacity and offers greater flexibility thanks to the EVOTOP series. In addition to the introduction of further sophisticated standard assemblies, a significantly reduced number of components and ties is a major advantage in use.
    Thanks to the EVOTOP series from the PERI UP Scaffolding Kit, even wider, longer and higher facade scaffolds can be built in demanding load classes. Heavy and inflexible frames are therefore no longer required in facade scaffold construction.
    PERI UP Cladding is a newly conceived, flexible enclosure system that is the perfect addition to the PERI UP Scaffolding Kit. It helps in providing a spatial enclosure for the construction site, while being an easy-to-install and translucent shield for the construction site personnel and the surrounding area.

    The 85 m high and 485 m long Filstal Bridge brings together all the challenges of bridge construction: a sophisticated construction method with slender superstructures and high bridge piers that widen in a Y-shape at the crown, high architectural concrete requirements and a narrow time window to meet the completion deadline.
    The cantilevered parapets on the west bridge were constructed in 24-m-sections using a total of four VARIOKIT Cantilevered Parapet Carriages.
    PERI engineers assisted with the construction of the piers, superstructure and tunnel portals using their solution expertise and modular, coordinated formwork and scaffolding systems.

    The Al Bustan Street South construction project is one of four parts that make up the Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor infrastructure project and features bridges with a total length of more than 10 km.
    The PERI system solution was tailored to account for the specific circumstances on site as one of the great challenges of the project was to carry out the construction work without causing major disruption to traffic.
    Combining the modular VARIOKIT and PD 8 systems proved to be the ideal approach to establishing the superstructure formwork for the in-situ concrete bridge. PD 8 shoring, which was adjusted quickly and steplessly to the different heights, ensured that loads could be transferred in an optimum manner.

    Covering the size of 24 football pitches, 17 m high and storage capacity for 13.2 million barrels of oil: at South Africa's Saldanha Bay, a huge crude oil storage facility with twelve 110 m x 110 m tanks was realised.
    Instead of a conventional slab formwork solution, the engineers designed a construction variant borrowed from bridge building using formwork carriages. Thereby, the table-like slab formwork was supported by a VARIOKIT framework construction.
    The high load-bearing capacity of the VARIOKIT system provided the required support for the concrete slab until it had hardened. With only 7 formwork carriage units per tank, each casting segment crane-independently realised 880 m² of slab area per storage tank in regular 5-day cycles.

    On the first section through the mountainous region of western Northern Macedonia, the new motorway crosses a total of 14 viaducts. On a length of approx. 10 km, around 4,000,000 m³ of earth had to be excavated and a total of 150,000 t of concrete and 15,000 t of reinforcement were subsequently processed.
    The left, right and centre sections of the bridge superstructure were sub-divided into 64 concreting sections and simultaneously realised using a total of four VBC Balanced Cantilever Carriages.
    With the balanced cantilever method, the superstructure is symmetrically realised on both sides in the form of a balance beam - starting from the rigidly connected pier.

    Extraordinary formwork for an extraordinary building

    Inspired by cliffs of sedimentary rock standing proud against the sea, at the centre of Dundee’s £1 billion waterfront regeneration, lies the V&A Museum of Design. This £80.11 million masterpiece, the first UK work penned by renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, is a bold creation combining complex concrete architecture with glass facades and linear concrete cladding. PERI has provided professional engineering services and bespoke formwork solutions in order to achieve the best possible architectural concrete result.

    The innovative and tried-and-tested MAXIMO panel formwork has been adapted to accommodate the technology of single-sided anchoring and can be used very flexibly.
    Depending on the fresh concrete pressure and wal thickness, the Tie MX 15 or MX 18 is used. In the process, a removable sealing allows fast and simple adaption to suit both sizes of anchor.
    The MXK bracket system provides a high level of safety whilst requiring only a minimum of installation effort. The lightweight system components can be installed on the ground by hand.

    A decade of maximum efficiency for forming walls

    Presented for the first time at the bauma 2007, the MAXIMO panel formwork continues to make a convincing case even a decade later through its enormous economic efficiency. In particular, the tie technology that was developed ten years ago by PERI leads to significantly smaller numbers of jobsite personnel thus resulting in considerable time and cost savings. Over the years, PERI engineers have continually expanded the application areas of this innovation. This is why the PERI MAXIMO can be found on countless construction sites in Germany and around the world.

    Through the integrated scaffold nodes on the PERI UP Easy Frame, ledgers, supports and console brackets can be directly connected. This makes it possible, e.g., to also easily mount external flights of stairs; these provide convenient and safe access to all areas.
    The integrated protection against lifting in the scaffold decking in detail: the integrated clamp engages the rectangular ledger and thus secures the position of the decking. PERI UP decks are also secured against lifting after installation without requiring any additional components.
    PERI UP decking always completely covers the entire axial dimesnions; there are no gaps or offsets between the decks – both from bay to bay as well as decks positioned parallel to each other. Covers for gaps in the decking are not required.
