    The new Puente Pumarejo in Latin American has a length of 2.3 km. The complex-shaped pylons rise up to a height of 80 m.
    Perfectly matched to suit the formwork solution, PERI UP Flex Shoring Towers and ST 100 Stacking Towers formed high load-bearing supporting constructions with heights between 5 m and 22 m in the bridge edge areas. PERI UP also served to provide stair access in order to safely reach the higher working levels.
    CB 240 Climbing Platforms, together with TRIO Wall Formwork, formed safe and accurate crane-climbed units for forming the pylons. In the area of the pier heads, VARIOKIT Truss Girders served as a reliable supporting construction for the working platform.

    Record-breaking bridge successfully completed with PERI systems

    The new cable-stayed bridge over the Rio Magdalena is 2.3 km long. PERI engineers supported the challenging construction project by providing a customised formwork and scaffolding solution that has been designed for realising the simultaneous construction of the pylons, bridge piers along with the superstructure. The versatility of the formwork and scaffolding systems as well as the combination possibility with the VARIOKIT Engineering Construction Kit facilitated shortened assembly times also when dealing with complex geometries.

    Normally, DUO would be used to form smaller regular shaped structures as an efficient alternative to heavier systems. However, this project proved that the DUO system is capable of more.
(Photo: seanpollock.com)
    From the onset, the idea was to use DUO panels for horizontal and vertical applications to form slabs, columns and walls. The lightweight panels, the largest weighing no more than 25 kg, were ideal for the project due to its location and confined site space.

    Quite literally, the structure pushes the boundaries of a ‘simple square’, as it comprises irregular angles in addition to varying floor heights throughout.

    For the M-8 road bridge, PERI engineers planned a project-specific shoring and formwork solution. The heavy-duty scaffold construction, consisting of VRB Heavy-Duty Truss Girders and VST Heavy-Duty Towers, safely transferred the high loads via long spans into the ground.
    For forming the superstructure comprised of bridge beams and carriageway slab, the planners combined VARIOKIT formwork units with VARIO GT 24 Girder Wall Formwork system components.
    The implementation plan featured two independent bridge superstructures with a pre-stressed, twin-webbed T-beam cross-section. The two superstructures were alternately concreted whereby the formwork and shoring were placed in an offset position from one bridge segment to the other.

    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.

    Constructing the asymmetric structure presented many challenges for the project’s concrete contractor, Baker Concrete, and formwork supplier, PERI USA.
    More than 9,000 square meters of PERI’s VARIO system wall forms were required to place the National Veterans Memorial and Museum’s curved walls.
    Because the radius of the Memorial and Museum’s curving walls changes continuously, each form panel used on the project was unique.

    For constructing the 134 m high residential building, safety was a top priority. The PERI RCS P Climbing Protection Panel served as an enclosure as well as anti-fall protection. The gap-free enclosure of the skeleton structure´s floors protected the construction team also at great heights against strong winds and the weather.
    Landing platforms consisting of standard system components served as temporary storage areas and for transferring loads to the following storeys. The platforms could be variably positioned anywhere on the building.
    For cost-effective construction of the internal elevator shafts, MAXIMO external core formwork climbed with the RCS Rail Climbing System. Due to the rail-guided climbing procedure, the climbing units were reliably attached to the structure at all times which made climbing fast and safe also in windy conditions.

    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.

    For the twin-tube tunnel segments, the construction team forms and concretes the bottom slab and walls in a single pour, then the slabs using two VARIOKIT Formwork Carriages. Among other things, the limited work space in the dry dock poses a number of challenges.

The relatively low weight of the VARIOKIT solutions is an additional benefit of the Engineering Construction Kit.

Through the mounted Alu 75 site staircase and Prokit EP 110 side protection, safe conditions have also been created for the construction team when using the access points as well as carrying out slab formwork activities.

    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.
