As part of the planned construction of the new power plant, the Peri Up Rosett Flex has proved to be extremely adaptable during the assembly phase – in so doing, it has fulfilled the highest requirements regarding the installation of the working platforms. The fact that the modular scaffolding can be assembled with the guardrail in advance means that the safety level required during scaffold erection is already guaranteed to a high degree.

Customized formwork and scaffolding solution from one source
Around 620 m of the extensive Nordhavnsvej infrastructure project runs underground. The twin-tubed, rectangular tunnel is being realized using the cut-and-cover method – the walls with Trio panelized formwork in advance followed by the slab formed with the Variokit tunnel formwork carriage. With the customized project solution, the construction team has achieved a three week cycle for the 25 m long concreting sections.
