The Project
Impressions from the project process
For the renovation of an arched bridge built in 1940, a scaffold construction on the basis of PERI UP modular scaffolding was erected.
Forming the main access was a 19 m high stair tower consisting of PERI UP system components whilst the alternating staircase units featured 75 cm flight widths.
Through the optimal adjustment of the modular scaffolding system to the complicated bridge geometry, scaffold assembly as well as the renovation work could be accelerated.

Project Information
Bernardo Carmo
Construction Manager
In addition to the fast erection, PERI UP offers a high load-bearing capacity. Therefore it was also possible to work on the platforms with heavy material, a crane was not necessary. The scaffolding system was also so flexible that unforeseen adjustments due to inaccurate plans of the structure had no negative impact on the scaffolding solution and the construction sequence.
