Peri is introducing an innovative new formwork system that is easier to assemble than before. Highly adaptable, the firm’s formwork solution can be used in a wide range of applications, while also featuring fewer components.
PERI says that its new VST heavy-duty shoring tower serves as load-bearing scaffold for the large bridge and civil engineering projects. Each leg on the VST (VARIOKIT Shoring Tower) system can carry a load of around 600kN (the weight of about 60 VW Golf cars or one Leopard-2 tank), and the extremely flexible modular system can be assembled as segmental sections, towers or shoring tower frames for heights up to 40m.
An array of innovative formwork solutions have helped in the repair and construction of key bridge links - Mike Woof writes
Formwork producers are continually developing novel solutions for bridge maintenance and construction applications. Several key structures have benefited from the novel use of formwork systems, with suppliers such as Doka, PERI, Pilosio and RMD all working on important structures in recent times.

Leading formwork manufacturers have secured some impressive contracts in Africa, as the continent’s transport infrastructure continues to improve at a rapid pace. Meanwhile, other bridgework equipment companies are also seeing their products in demand in Africa, as well as North America and Australia.
New generation asphalt plants offer key benefits such as being more versatile, more mobile and able to cope with greater quantities of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) - Mike Woof writes
Several asphalt plant manufacturers are introducing new technologies for 2016. Key developments focus on issues such as the use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and plant mobility, as well as improved mix control. Output quality has been improved by the latest technology, which can allow for much higher quantities of RA
