Lunar Rise and Azure Apartment Blocks, Plymouth
Controlling falls from height
with PERI SKYDECK
At opposite ends of Plymouth’s legendary Hoe, contractor Richard Medlin is constructing two separate apartment projects with main contractors Ardmore Construction Ltd (Azure) and Kier Western (Lunar Rise), showcasing PERI’s panel slab formwork system.
On the east side of the Hoe, marking the historic gateway to the city, the Lunar Rise Project incorporates private residences with commercial spaces at street level.
SKYDECK provided a superb alternative to table forms which could not be used due to the surrounding main roads. It was praised on site for its ease of use during erection and striking and its minimal requirement of cranetime.

"If you’re asking me why I chose PERI SKYDECK again, then I would have to say that it is the system´s speed of use and safety features that attracted me the most. I also find it is the workforce who are increasingly calling for the use of PERI SKYDECK."

The SKYDECK panels forming the 1000m² floor area were erected in three sections, each taking around three days, and resulted in a turnaround period of less than two weeks for each floor. The pace was sustained, when strong coastal winds put the crane out of action for several days, through easily transporting PERI’s lightweight system to the floor above by hand. |
|
Having been seven weeks behind when they started to use SKYDECK on the ground floor slab, the team from Richard Medlin were three weeks ahead of schedule by the time they had poured the fourth floor. |
|
The team were also impressed with the safety offered by the system, notably its ability to be erected from below. Edge protection on SKYDECK could be lowered into place in the form of SDB Platforms and guided into position by a single tethered operative providing a safe working area in a very short space of time. |
