We worked intensively with the PERI formwork in the planning stage so we could realise the prespecified joint arrangement of 2.50 x 3.30 m. For the use of self-sealing concrete PERI offered us a customised and capable formwork solution based on the VARIO girder formwork. The owner is very satisfied with the results achieved.

PERI solution

  • girder wall formwork elements of 3.30 x 2.50 m in size with flexible waler arrangement
  • feasibility testing by the architectural concrete team (architect, construction firm, concrete supplier, formwork supplier) using a test wall
  • formlining fixed from behind
  • VARIO GT 24 with waler positioning governed by the tie arrangement
