Peri climbs high at INTERMAT 2015 with its civil engineering technology

Peri’s Variokit heavy-duty truss girder system has been designed specifically for tunnel and bridge construction to reach those hard-to-get places. The heavy-duty truss girder complements the Variokit heavy-duty shoring tower.

298 Peri’s Variokit heavy-duty truss girder system has been designed specifically for tunnel and bridge construction to reach those hard-to-get places.

The heavy-duty truss girder complements the Variokit heavy-duty shoring tower. Peri took into account the load-bearing capacity of the tower as well as the challenging requirements of everyday construction work.

The high-load modular lattice system can be used for spans up to 40m. With the continuously
adjustable telescopic support frame, all spans can be created with centimetre precision.

In addition, the calotte bearing allows easy adaption to the longitudinal and lateral inclinations of the superstructure. The heavy-duty truss girder can be quickly assembled by means of fitting pins. The optional PERI UP scaffolding in the bottom section provides completely safe working conditions.

    PERI’s VARIOKIT engineering construction kit, being showcased at bauma, is said by the German firm to have already provided cost-effective and flexible solutions for superstructures for several years. From project-specific solutions for tunnels, to system applications in bridge construction and heavy-duty towers for the highest loads, VARIOKIT is extremely adaptable. Now it can also be used for the balanced cantilever method with a few additional, newly developed system components. The new components for t
