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.

298 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. Like Variokit, Alphakit is aimed at bridge, tunnel and other civil engineering applications.

    Imaginative formwork, often using modular components, is helping to shape some challenging bridges worldwide. Patrick Smith reports Traffic volumes in and around Prague have swollen massively in recent years, pushing the existing road network to the limits of its capacity. To permanently ease congestion in the Czech capital's centre, a multi-lane orbital motorway is under construction as a high capacity bypass for central Prague and to link up all the motorways and other major highways radiating from the ci

    A team of Greek and German PERI engineers have developed a comprehensive formwork and scaffolding solution for the T4 bridge on the A7 motorway in Greece. The 160km long A7 connects Kalamata in the south to Corinth in the northwest of the Peloponnese peninsula. On one stretch of the motorway a 390m long arched bridge – known as T4 – is being used to close the gap between Paradisia and Tsakona. Set for completion in early 2014, two-thirds of the 22m wide bridge superstructure will be suspended on a steel arc

  • Peri formwork for Danish port link tunnel project
    November 29, 2013
    The Nordhavnsvej – Vej- og Tunnelentreprise (Nordhavnsvej) project is Copenhagen’s largest infrastructure project in the last 50 years. The 1.65km-long route will eventually link the Danish capital’s northern port area with the Helsingør motorway. It runs through a very densely built urban area, in parts at depths of up to 22m. One particular challenge regarding the execution was planning the course of the tunnel because the underground structure also crosses a very busy railway line.

    An unusual application of formwork took place recently in France, while formwork using one particular engineering construction kit was used for the first time in Poland. Guy Woodford reports An 80m long wild game underpass is an innovative feature of the Route Nationale 88 (RN 88) expansion in south-west France. For construction of the arched underpass tunnel, a PERI tunnel formwork carriage using VARIOKIT engineering construction kit was used. Thanks to the equipment’s easy handling, along with pre-assembl
