Crane-independent building redevelopment: DUO masters challenging formwork tasks

Apartment building, Dietikon, Switzerland

During the refurbishment of an apartment building on Bollenhofstrasse in Dietikon, Switzerland, the constraints were clearly defined: work within the existing structure with limited space, and do not continue to use a crane once the slab has been concreted. Therefore, for the formwork operations on a sloping reinforced concrete slab and a lift shaft, the required solution needed to be adaptable, easy to work with and capable of operating without the need for a crane. With the DUO Universal Formwork system, the contractor, Wanner & Lott AG, opted for a system that is specifically suited to these requirements.

PERI systems allow a view into the sky: The largest eye of mankind

The cool, dry and cloud-free Atacama Desert in Chile offers ideal conditions for astronomical observations and is already home to several telescopes. It is therefore not surprising that the world's largest telescope is also being built there, on the 3,046-metre-high Cerro Armazones mountain, and is expected to go into operation in 2028. With the help of the ELT, scientists hope to gain new insights into the early history and future of our universe or even discover new, earth-like planets. PERI supplied the formwork and scaffolding systems required for the construction of the foundation as well as for the wall structures and the central base of the telescope.
