Premiere for the VARIOKIT Heavy-Duty Truss Girder in Poland
For realising a demanding bridge construction in the wetland area near Szczecinek, PERI engineers planned a project-specific shoring and formwork solution. Heavy-Duty Truss Girders and Heavy-Duty Truss Towers based on the VARIOKIT Engineering Construction Kit safely transferred the high loads via large spans and into the ground; VARIOKIT formwork units along with the customised formwork solution were supported on this. The first use of the truss girders convinced the construction team due to the low weight and fast assembly. Factors that facilitated both time and cost savings during the execution.

The PERI UP Modular Scaffolding Kit – more system in scaffolding operations
Safety requirements on construction sites are steadily increasing, scaffolding projects are becoming more and more complex and the cost pressures companies are facing is high. As a result, this not only changes the day-to-day challenges for the contractors but also the demands placed on the scaffold systems themselves. The question therefore arises whether a rigid differentiation of frame and modular scaffolding is still relevant today. After all, the market demands a product that contains both frame and modular scaffolding features as well as having the right solution in the system ready for every task. The PERI UP Modular Scaffolding Kit fulfills this requirement in every respect.

Virtually unnoticed: Demolition work on high-rise building within RCS enclosure
The Swiss agricultural company, Syngenta, is completely transforming its headquarters in the centre of Basel. For this, a 54 m high tower block had to be removed. Due to the position of the building which is directly adjacent to the corporate campus as well as in close proximity to the highly frequented Schwarzwaldallee and the Badischer Bahnhof, demolition using large demolition excavators was out of the question. PERI engineers in collaboration with contractor ERNE AG developed a concept on the basis of the RCS Rail Climbing System which allowed a safe and efficient dismantling of the structure within an all-round enclosure.

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.
