The formwork utilisation planned by PERI and the support on the spot during the construction time enabled us to experience the best possible construction sequence. For us, VARIO was the perfect wall formwork system which made the production of these parts possible, which are extraordinary regarding their shapes and dimensions. Adjusted to the use of self-compacting concrete with a fresh concrete pressure of up to 150 kN/m², we were able to achieve very high surface qualities.
PERI solution
- delivery of completely assembled 3D formwork elements, based on rentable VARIO basic elements
- 3D building model
- VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork system with fair-faced concrete coupling
- VARIO large elements up to a height of 14 m, partly shuttered in a polygonal way for curvatures
- utilisation of large-size Fin-Ply Maxi formwork panels
- formwork and element concept for reversely inclined front wall
- support during the construction time
