INTERNATIONAL – EN

Dear Readers,

We are pleased that you are taking the time to look at the PERIBOOK
and cordially invite you to get to know our company, our products and
many interesting projects.

As a family owned company that has been successful in its markets for
over 50 years, we have a clear mission: we want to make work in our
­customers’ industries more efficient, faster and safer. Providing the
best service to our customers is what drives us every day.

In this new edition of the PERIBOOK, we show you which products,

systems and services we use to fulfil this mission. We present some
of the groundbreaking projects that we have successfully completed
with our customers in recent years.

Our industries are changing rapidly and many exciting topics are being
discussed. How can digitalisation contribute to greater efficiency and
planning reliability in projects today? What opportunities do new, more
­sustainable materials offer? Where do we stand with regard to disruptive
technologies such as the 3D construction printing of entire houses?

At PERI, we are already working on answers to these questions. As a

­technology and innovation leader, we would like to shape the future
of our industries together with you. Reliable, long-term and trusting
partnerships are important to us and form the basis for mutual success.

In this spirit, we wish you an interesting and inspiring read of the

PERIBOOK and look forward to a successful cooperation together.

With our best regards, Jürgen Voss Leonhard Braig Christian Schwörer Carl Heathcote Thomas Imbacher

With our trend-setting products, system solutions and technologies, we are always setting
new impulses for the future. We are always driven by the urge to develop something new and
to question what already exists. With the benefit to the customer in mind at all times, we are
continuously working on innovative solutions and systems – of a physical, methodical or even
digital nature. After all, innovative strength is not simply a part of our identity, it is part of our DNA.

Customer-oriented Our products are developed at our research facilities in Germany, Italy and India. Among other
things, we focus on simplifying work flows, protecting users and combining our systems in an

Keeping pace with the times
in a sustainable manner

With its efficient systems engineering, state-of-the-art manu-

but not least, an outstanding production team, PERI’s approach
to production is in keeping with the times. By opening the gal-
vanising plant at our scaffolding factory in Günzburg in 2020
and developing a highly automated frame production line and
an innovative surface coating system at the formwork factory in
Weissenhorn, we have been making great strides towards an
even more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach
to production.

Paving the way to success
with global material availability

Josephine Ching Ching See

“We do not ask you to decide whether you should

buy or rent. With us, you can combine both options.
After all, your needs are at the heart of what we do.
Together, we will find the best solution for your
­project: rent, buy or both.”

Every project is as unique as the challenges and needs of our customers. We offer
customised packages that provide innovative system solutions, especially in the
case of order peaks and unusual projects with large material requirements.
­Together with our sales engineers, we find the right solution for every situation –
whether it’s a purchase, a rental agreement or a combination of both.

Our large international rental park with well over 160 logistics sites allows us to en-
sure optimum material availability – with the customary PERI quality standards, an-
ywhere in the world. This approach is characterised by a high level of sustainability
and minimises the capital and financing needs of our customers. You can benefit
from the option of renting entire PERI solutions or, if necessary, individual compo-
nents that will enable you to adapt to special situations with ease and without
­having to invest in additional material. Our maxim is as follows: the right amount of

SHORING SYSTEMS
Slab Props and Shoring Towers

The PEP Ergo and PEP Alpha 2 Slab Props excel on account of
their load-bearing capacity, which is significantly higher than the
industry standard despite the props having a low intrinsic weight.
They are also impressive from a safety point of view on account of
their integrated hand safety clearance. The fact that all parts are
hot-dip galvanised also ensures a long service life for a wide range
of applications.

PERI UP Suspended Scaffolds PERI UP Bridging
Suspended working platforms in a system grid Trench bridge for temporary crossings

The PERI UP Trench Bridge is a quick and easy solution for crossing over construction pits, trenches and channel trenches
in a safe manner. The assembly process relies on standard components of the PERI UP Scaffolding Kit and can be car-
ried out quickly thanks to system-integrated features such as self-locking decks and tool-free installation of the diagonal
braces. In addition, the trench bridge has proven to be robust in the face of atmospheric influences. The decks with their
integrated lift locks and non-slip, perforated surface as well as toe boards along the bridge provide safe access; the width
of 1 m allows plenty of freedom of movement.

PERI UP Reinforcement Scaffolds
Ensuring stability when working on formwork

The PERI UP Reinforcement Scaffold with its two base widths of 150 cm and 250 cm was designed for activities
related to reinforcement, formwork and concreting. The standard configuration of the stable scaffold can be erected
using up to 3 bays in the longitudinal direction and can be assembled quickly thanks to the self-securing ledger con-
nection and the lift locks integrated in the decks. It does not need any ballasting or ties as long as it is supported in
front of a wall or formwork. On account of its tension-proof connections, even large units of the PERI UP Reinforce-
ment Scaffold can be moved in their entirety by crane. The PERI UP Reinforcement Scaffold also ensures a high level
of safety by virtue of its continuous, uniform and gap-free deck surfaces. What’s more, the planning process is simpli-

RCS MAX Rail Climbing System
Efficient and safe climbing formwork with
synchronous climbing platforms

The RCS MAX Rail Climbing System is the further development of the proven RCS Rail Climbing System and stands
out, among other things, on account of the fact that all of the platforms can climb simultaneously, thus improving the
level of safety and productivity on the construction site. The two new modules, the RCS MAX Hydraulic Unit and the
RCS MAX Drive Rails, are fully compatible with the RCS Rail Climbing System and ensure an accelerated construction pro-
cess. The synchronous climbing of all platforms as well as the load transfer via the lower climbing section shortens the
climbing cycles and, consequently, the construction time of projects. The intuitive plug-and-play configuration and lightweight
components make the system easy to assemble and operate. The hoses and cylinders are placed in predefined positions once
– no repositioning is necessary, ­meaning that sources of error are reduced. In addition, clever features such as the dead man’s
switch and an emergency stop switch on each platform ensure an innovative safety concept.

The VGK can also be used as a working platform for building

construction. To ensure that the work procedure is safe, the
console brackets can be suspended in the structure as a
pre-assembled platform unit. The result is an enclosed work-
ing platform on which reinforcement scaffolds can be placed.
Formwork can be handled and other work carried out from a
safe position, making the use of facade scaffolds superfluous.
VGK Console Bracket solutions are type-tested. They can also
be measured independently with the VGK Design Tool.

As the folding platform carries very high loads,

high facade scaffolds can also be installed on the
platforms. This is beneficial, for example, if the Tool

At the end of 2020, a three-storey apartment

The most stringent architectural

concrete specifications
realised on schedule

In the shade of tall pine trees, a private residence in Viimsi, Estonia,

stands out on account of its contrasting architecture. The combination
of timber and high-quality architectural concrete blends seamlessly with
the landscape and reflects the owner’s passion for distinctive concrete
structures. Due to the high demands placed on the quality of the archi-
tectural concrete and the level of field service required, the customer
opted to collaborate with PERI.

A concrete frame with an architectural concrete finish links the L-shaped build-
ing to a separate sauna. The customer wanted to use a uniform tie pattern and
architectural concrete of the highest quality to give the walls of the frame a
radiant appearance, so PERI offered several different technical options using
a variety of panels and tie options. Ultimately, the customer decided to use
TRIO Panel Formwork with a combination of panels in different sizes, which
afforded the building a harmonious and engaging concrete finish with an orderly
tie pattern. In addition, with its small number of different components and the
single-hand operable BFD Alignment Coupler as the only connecting part, TRIO
ensured that construction progressed quickly.

In Unterföhring, four state-of-the-art TV studios and office and conference rooms will be built
on a 26,000 m² site by 2024. There will be space for 1,700 employees across five floors, including
several garden and roof terraces for creative exchange. PERI supported the project with system
solutions consisting of PERI UP and VARIOKIT.

Hitting the heights quickly

and safely with PERI UP
The variability of the PERI UP Scaffolding Kit simplified the assembly work
at the New Campus immensely. On account of the end-to-end system
grid, PERI UP can be adapted very flexibly to various local circumstances.
It is also possible to ensure a smooth transition between the shoring
and facade scaffolds. Since the VARIOKIT Engineering Construction Kit
is based on the same basic grid, both systems can be combined almost
seamlessly into a comprehensive solution. In Unterföhring, too, the facade
scaffold was supported with the aid of various VARIOKIT core components
wherever the substrate did not offer sufficient stability or traffic areas had
to be kept clear. The system grid simplified the process of adapting the
scaffolding for subsequent trade work immensely – without compromising
on safety.

tive RCS MAX Rail Climbing System’s first outing on
Korean soil. The main benefit of the system, however, became apparent
during the climbing operation itself. The decentralised hydrau-
lic units ensure a significantly higher level of safety at every
stage of the climbing process. This is because the hydraulic
units allow all of the console brackets to be climbed simulta-
neously. This means that personnel are not exposed to hazard-
ous open building edges. The RCS MAX system also stops au-
tomatically in the event of a collision or overload and
immediately alerts the user to any issues by way of a light sig-
nal or the attached display. The system’s features gave the
construction site team full control at all times and helped to
reduce any downtime. What’s more, since the RCS MAX sys-
tem transfers the load via the climbing section below, the plat-
forms can be readied for the next climbing section more
quickly.

Consequently, the decision to use the RCS MAX system led

to a considerably higher degree of work safety and, at the
same time, shortened the construction time of the residential
towers. In other words: not only greater safety, but also great-
er efficiency.

One of the tallest office buildings in the city is being built directly on the
Marseille coast. The 85 m high building has 21 floors of state-of-the-art, ener-
gy-efficient office space with views of the sea and the neighbouring city. PERI
supported the three-year project by supplying a wide range of systems.

The immediate proximity to the Mediterranean Sea not only meant that space
was limited during the construction phase, but also led to special requirements
in terms of safety. The high wind forces, for example, proved challenging. By
using the LPS Climbing Protection Panel for enclosure purposes, however,
the workers were effectively protected from the high wind loads even at great
heights and the possibility of falling objects was ruled out.

The RCS C Rail Climbing System used for the construction of the facade also
ensured a high level of work safety, with the climbing unit being securely con-
nected to the structure at all times via the rails.

The climbing system was combined with the MAXIMO Panel Formwork,
which resulted in a very high level of concrete quality. Furthermore, the

“Complex concrete elements had to be created for this
project. The 10 m high piers and the bridge deck are good
examples of this. We relied on PERI’s expertise for these
formwork projects. The good cooperation with PERI
contributes to a great result on the construction site.” One of the most important success factors in large-scale

fact that the delivered material enabled simultaneous

The Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway is a toll road with a to-

around 50,000 vehicles will cross the four-lane bridge be-
tween the municipality of Cordova and the mainland of Cebu
City on a daily basis. The project required a high degree of
cost efficiency while maintaining a high level of occupational
safety.

Components from the PERI UP Scaffolding Kit offered consistent

safety throughout the entire works. They were used as access
or shoring solutions, for example as stairways at great heights
or across bridge edges for access to important goods lifts. The
standardised system decks in a 25-cm-grid also allowed for flexi-

Another benefit of the PERI solution: A high level of occupational

“For PERI, it was a welcome challenge
to size, plan and deliver the platform as
well as the enormous scaffold in the

Overall, the project was a huge success

The shape of the elevated water retention structure is reminiscent of a Saudi

desert flower and consists of a circular wall with a diameter of 4.30 m and
a ring beam supporting the cantilevered and slightly inclined slab measuring
1.00 m in depth.

To build the structure, PERI proposed a comprehensive solution with formwork

and scaffolding from a single source. Optimally coordinated PERI products
consisting of only a few components played a major role in ensuring that
the project was carried out efficiently. For example, the circular wall of the
structure was constructed using VARIO VT 20 Wall Formwork. This could be
optimally adapted to the design and was used for both the interior and exterior
walls. For the formwork of the outer wall, the VARIO VT 20 Wall Formwork was
supplemented with CB 240 Platforms, which made the climbing process safe.

sections
“The Okhla Sewage Treatment Plant consists of a total of 150,000 m3 of concrete.
Given the enormous amount of concrete, it was not possible to use a conventional
formwork method. For this reason, we decided to use the HANDSET Alpha ­Panel
Formwork, which enabled us to pour large concreting sections ranging from 4.50 m
to 7.00 m in height, as well as 30 m long walls. We are very happy with the result.”

The Okhla Sewage Treatment Plant is located in New Delhi, India, and is
currently the most capacious plant in Asia. In view of the large concreting
sections of up to 7 m in height and 30 m in length, the customer decided
against using traditional formwork methods involving timber, opting in-
stead for the efficient HANDSET Alpha Panel Formwork.

The construction site covered an area of 104 ha and consisted of several struc-
tures that were built according to a very demanding construction schedule and
with a concrete volume of 150,000 m2. Given the exceptional scale of the project,
it was not economical or practical to use cranes. Therefore, a modular formwork
system was needed that could be assembled and repositioned by hand and used
efficiently for different sections over the course of the project. The lightweight
HANDSET Alpha Panel Formwork allowed large concreting sections to be cast
efficiently in a single pour. In addition, HANDSET Alpha which, in the case of walls,
is designed for a fresh concrete pressure of 60 kN/m², ensured that the work could
be carried out efficiently and with minimum effort. The particularly lightweight
multifunctional panels, weighing 34.5 kg/m2, could be installed by hand with minimal
manpower requirements.

The modular HANDSET Alpha Formwork also stood out for its sustainable use of
materials, consisting of only three system components. The robust and powder-­
coated HANDSET Alpha panels are reusable, meaning that both the timber used
and the timber offcuts were kept to a minimum. The customer was also impressed
by the formwork’s attractive surface finish.

PERI not only supplied the formwork material but also ensured that the formwork
was assembled correctly by providing competent construction site support. The
construction site personnel, who had only worked with traditional formwork methods
up to that point, learned about the benefits of system formwork in no time at all.
The HANDSET Alpha’s straightforward work sequence involving only a few, easy-to-­
use components kept the potential for error to a minimum and ensured that the
project ran smoothly.

also resulted in a demanding schedule. “The success we’ve had on this construction site is a really
positive advertisement for the company VAUBAN GC.
We are already planning the construction of further water
towers using the same method and PERI solutions.”

The reservoir construction work was divided into several sections so

that the resulting loads could be transferred in the best possible way.
A combination of SB Brace Frames, parts of the VARIOKIT Engineering
Construction Kit and MULTIPROP Shoring Towers played a decisive role
in this. The modular design of the heavy-duty brackets was particularly
advantageous, as the connecting parts could be fitted to the brace frames,
meaning no additional parts were required. The way the SB Brace Frames
were anchored in the thin walls was critical in this respect. A double
suspension with suspension shoe was used to distribute the forces.

The PERI engineers calculated the exact forces that would act on the
various lifting devices in order to determine the required number of
girders and the best possible arrangement of the horizontal profiles for
optimal load transfer.

PERI’s engineering expertise and the system combination comprising

the VARIOKIT Engineering Construction Kit, MULTIPROP Shoring Towers
and SB Brace Frames played a major role in ensuring that the project was
completed on time and also ensured a high-quality concrete result.

process control system. In addition, 250 linear metres of pipe
bridges had to be constructed.

BIM methodology with cross-trade 3D planning, coordination and

execution provided the basis for the associated scaffolding construction
process. The majority of the scaffolding was planned in CAD using
Autodesk’s BIM 360 Field construction field management software
and then made available as a 3D model. This enabled subsequent
users to check the scaffolding plans for efficiency, variability and
adaptability before they were erected. Not only did this allow the
processes to be planned and documented in terms of time and space,
but all of the information such as requirements/planning data, draw-
ings or parts lists could also be called up at any time in a kind of
digital scaffolding book.

At peak times, around 1,300 t of PERI system material were in use at

the same time. It was possible to use the PERI solutions in an ex-
tremely versatile manner, for example for standing scaffolds, safety
scaffolds, suspended scaffolds, shoring, stairs, material platforms and
mobile working scaffolds. Most notably, by combining the PERI UP
Scaffolding Kit with the VARIOKIT Engineering Construction Kit, it
was possible to ensure both geometric and static flexibility thanks to
the metric basic grid of both systems – and thus the highest degree
of working safety.

The oil and gas field Ku-Maloob-Zaap (KMZ), which covers a total area of
around 121 km², is situated in the bay of Campeche, 105 km north-east
of the city of Ciudad del Carmen. In 2019, a new gas compressor platform
named CA-KU-A1 was added to the oil and gas production complex that
is located there. To carry out the time-critical construction project, PERI
provided flexible scaffolding solutions and comprehensive on-site support.

With the aid of the modular PERI UP Scaffolding System, it was possible to
erect safe working platforms even at great heights. Being able to change the
direction of the decks within the scaffolding bays at will made it possible to
build around obstructions such as pipelines or load-bearing constructions. This
meant that working areas were almost completely free of gaps with no height
offset or trip hazards. The self-securing ledger connection on the scaffolding
node, the integrated lift lock on the non-slip decks and the end-to-end lateral

 St. Jacek Church

The versatility of
PERI UP facilitates
careful restoration
Built at the beginning of the 20 th Century from brick
and sandstone, the Church of St. Jacek with its two
57 m high towers graces part of the former mining town
of Bytom, not far from Katowice. Inside, murals and a
­suspended wooden ceiling adorn the monument. Where
the nave and transepts intersect, a small ridge turret
with a pointed roof juts out.

It was precisely these circumstances that presented the

greatest challenges of this project. PERI had to supply a
scaffolding construction that required as little anchoring
as possible in the interior and could still be adapted to the
complex geometry of the structure. In the course of building
information modelling, PERI engineers determined the
correct number of scaffolding elements with high accuracy
using a custom-made 3D model. In this way, costs could
be saved right from the start.

PERI UP proved its worth as early as the assembly stage on

account of the safe assembly technology based on integrated
guardrails. Even the entrances to the domes of the main towers

extensive repair work on the masonry of the arches
and the bridge piers made of natural stone and
bricks, and, at the same time, to restore the track
supporting structure and the drainage facilities.

The shoring structure and the standing and sus-

pended scaffolds were constructed on the basis of
the PERI UP Scaffolding Kit as well as the rentable
components of the VAROKIT Engineering Con-
struction Kit. Both systems can be combined
seamlessly on account of the standardised, metric
basic grid. It was possible to adapt the systems
to project-specific geometries and loads in 25-cm-
increments without any issues. The scaffolding
was erected in alternation: While the shoring and
working scaffolds for the superstructure were
held available on the west side, the standing and
suspended scaffolds were used to carry out the
facade work on the east side. The switch was
then made later on.
