Underwater tunnel connects the banks of the Göta älv river
One of the most interesting tunnels in Scandinavia, the Marieholm Tunnel, is currently being realized in the city of Gothenburg. In future, the 306 m long underground connection will ensure that the river Göta älv can be quickly crossed using the available six vehicle lanes. The structure is being constructed in the form of an immersed tunnel: three tunnel sections, each measuring more than 100 m long, are being produced in a dry dock with the help of a PERI VARIOKIT Tunnel Formwork Carriage and will subsequently be submerged in a trench excavated on the riverbed.

Luxury hotel construction ahead of schedule thanks to comprehensive PERI support
Situated in the shadow of the famous Petronas Towers, one of the most luxurious hotels in the world is currently being realized. For the building complex – the so-called Four Seasons Place – the PERI engineers developed an efficient scaffolding and climbing formwork solution. The most important goal was to facilitate efficient work operations and, at the same time, provide a high degree of safety for the personnel on site. Result: construction process is far ahead of the original planned schedule.

Official opening of scaffold production in Günzburg / Bavaria
Weissenhorn‑based PERI GmbH has planned further growth in its scaffolding division and to this end has created the required production capacities. As any expansion possibilities at the main plant in Weissenhorn are limited, a new manufacturing facility in the neighbouring town of Günzburg is beeing build since January 2016. The primary plant for the PERI UP scaffolding technology was officially opened on 22 September 2017.

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.

Formwork and scaffolding from one source for the highest skyscraper in Europe
With its very impressive architecture, the Lakhta Center, a futuristic building complex designed by Tony Kettle, is the new highlight of Saint Petersburg. Eventually rising to a height of 462 m, the multi-storey building in the centre of the complex will not just surpass all other structures in Russia when it is completed. Rather, the high-rise building on the Finnish Jade Bight will be the tallest building in Europe. Faced with numerous formwork and scaffolding challenges, PERI has been providing the contractor with expert support throughout the project – from formwork solutions for the record-breaking foundations through to complex shoring arrangements.

Fast high-rise construction progress with a well thought-out formwork concept
A total of seven buildings characterize the Maakri-Kvartal complex which is currently being built in the Estonian capital. The project comprises new high-rise buildings as well as restored architectural monuments and connects the historical heart with the newer district of Tallinn. PERI developed and delivered corresponding formwork solutions for the new structures as well as the renovation work. The PERI team has supported the rapid construction progress in particular with climbing technology for the city´s new landmark – a high-rise building with a height of more than 100 m.

Comprehensive PERI solution for the very impressive "Doorway to the South"
At the beginning of June 2017 the “Porta del Sud” near Naples is scheduled to be opened. Christened with this name, the ultra-modern railway station for high-speed trains in Naples Afragola forms the major intersection on the Rome-Neapel-Salerno line. The bold architectural design of the station bears all the hallmarks of Zaha Hadid. PERI developed a comprehensive formwork and scaffolding solution for the realization of the curved architectural language of the famous architect.

PERI UP for an architectural highlight ”Down Under“
In Melbourne, the continent´s largest shopping centre has been renovated and expanded. Now an architecturally demanding, curved glass construction covers the Chadstone Shopping Centre which was opened in 1960. For the scaffolding contractor, the biggest challenge was to meet the extremely tight timetable in spite of only minimum crane availability. The project-specific planning service provided by PERI Australia´s engineers, together with the system advantages of the flexible PERI UP Flex Modular Scaffolding, helped the construction team to complete the work within the very tight time schedule.

Well equipped and heated through the winter
For scaffolding and enclosure of the gateway building, the PERI UP Flex scaffold solution has been optimally adapted to suit the local site conditions and static requirements. The exclusive use of system scaffolding components thereby accelerated the assembly work and, at the same time, increased safety levels during the use of the scaffold. For the first time in scaffolding, heatable roof tarpaulins ensure that the formation of unwanted snow loads are prevented during the winter months.
