We decided in favour of PERI because of the flexibility of the formwork systems and the know-how regarding special solutions. The cooperation was great, the formwork planning was perfect and the deliveries always arrived according to schedule. Thus we were able to jointly master this impressive project with its extraordinary requirements concerning shape and surface quality.

PERI solution
