The Project
Impressions from the project process
This extraordinary structure is characterized by twisting reinforced concrete walls which reach heights of up to 14 m.
For constructing the straight wall sections in architectural concrete, using the flexible VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork system proved to be a big advantage.
PERI UP shoring is used for great heights in the form of individual towers, as main beam areas or spatial supporting formwork.
By covering the VARIO elements with large-sized PERI Fin-Ply formlining, excellent concrete surfaces were achieved.
14 m high VARIO GT 24 elements were arranged polygonally in the curved areas.
For realizing the curved areas complete with twisted surfaces, PERI supplied pre-assembled 3D formwork elements based on rentable VARIO GT 24 elements.
The concrete loads resulting from construction of the reverse-inclined front wall could be safely transferred to the ground via a frame construction unit and MULTIPROP towers.
Project Information
Gianni Scenna
Construction manager
The formwork utilisation planned by PERI and the support on the spot during the construction time enabled us to experience the best possible construction sequence. For us, VARIO was the perfect wall formwork system which made the production of these parts possible, which are extraordinary regarding their shapes and dimensions. Adjusted to the use of self-compacting concrete with a fresh concrete pressure of up to 150 kN/m², we were able to achieve very high surface qualities.
