126 Phillip Street, Sydney, Australia
Only four days per fl oor and with maximum safety
The Sydney skyline is known throughout the world. Since 2005, however, the city´s appearance has been re-shaped by the new multi-storey building located at 126 Phillip Street. The 240 m high building complex was designed by the renowned British architect Norman Foster and is the new home of Deutsche Bank Australia.
The 38-storey main building with a ground plan area of 65 m x 22 m has standrad floor heights of 4 m. With the help of the ACS climbing formwork solution, VARIO system components for the beams and reinforced concrete columns as well as PERI slab tables, a comprehensive PERI formwork solution was designed with which the reinforced concrete slabs along with the edge and intermediate beams could be constructed in only one concreting step together with the columns. This meant that a complete floor could be climbed in only four days.
Altogether 16 ACS self-climbing units were used to form the edge beams as well as the reinforced concrete columns which were positioned on the outside. At the same time, the fi ve upper floors could be effectively protected against the wind and inclement weather along with preventing site personnel from falling. As the building edges were completely enclosed, very safe conditions were provided for all subsequent items of work. Crane-independent climbing procedures took place with the ACS and in all weathers.
After concreting, the VARIO column formwork could be retracted by means of a formwork carriage and then climbed with the ACS to the next section. Within each floor itself, the slab tables were moved using the PERI transportation trolley which saved both time and money.

“I was already able to use the PERI systems very successfully for my previous highrise projects. In connection with first-class engineering, our high requirements regarding health and safety protection could be therefore be fulfi lled.”
