Peri targets emerging markets with new shoring system

Peri has developed a new lightweight version of its Variokit falsework system for emerging markets. The Alphakit system spans up to 25m, compared to 40m for its heavier sister, and can be assembled by hand until the final stages when a crane is required to lift the system into place. Still in the final stages of development, the Alphakit is not on show on Peri’s stand. However, Peri is taking customers from emerging markets to view the equipment at its factory in Germany.

Still in the final stages of development, the Alphakit is not on show on Peri’s stand. However, Peri is taking customers from emerging markets to view the equipment at its factory in Germany. Like Variokit, Alphakit is aimed at bridge, tunnel and other civil engineering applications.

The engineering build kit was used to build a new 600m long motorway bridge near the southeastern city of Tarnów. Deploying VARIOKIT allowed the jobsite team to achieve 4-5 day cycles for the bridge's concrete sections. It was also said to ensure that the very small tolerances needed for the variable bridge cross-sections could be comfortably met. Twelve pairs of piers support the two carriageways of the new motorw
