To Our Valued Clients <strong>and</strong><br />

Prospective Clients<br />

In today’s difficult market our clients<br />

are faced with increased competition<br />

<strong>and</strong> price pressure which require<br />

the most cost effective formwork<br />

<strong>and</strong> shoring solutions to satisfy their<br />

needs. <strong>PERI</strong> continues to invest in<br />

new system technologies to improve<br />

the efficiency of concrete construction.<br />

In this edition of <strong>PERI</strong> scope we<br />

profile thirteen current projects<br />

that illustrate <strong>PERI</strong>’s wide range of<br />

form work, shoring <strong>and</strong> scaffolding<br />

systems including the new<br />

ACS Core, GARAGEDECK <strong>and</strong><br />

VARIOKIT systems.<br />

ACS Core is latest addition to <strong>PERI</strong>’s<br />

proven Automatic Climbing System<br />

that is the world’s most widely used<br />

self­climbing system for high ­<br />

rise buildings <strong>and</strong> bridge pylons.<br />

ACS Core consists of 100% rentable<br />

components <strong>and</strong> has the capability<br />

to self­climb a placing boom without<br />

the need for an additional wall<br />

bracket.<br />

GARAGEDECK is an extension to<br />

<strong>PERI</strong>’s existing MULTIFLEX shoring<br />

system for the construction of<br />

beam <strong>and</strong> slab post­tensioned<br />

parking garages. GARAGEDECK’s<br />

100% rentable components are<br />

pre­assembled at a <strong>PERI</strong> warehouse<br />

<strong>and</strong> delivered to the jobsite ready<br />

to be used.<br />

VARIOKIT employs st<strong>and</strong>ard rentable<br />

components to economically<br />

construct a wide range of load<br />

bearing structures for bridge, tunnel<br />

<strong>and</strong> other civil construction thus<br />

eliminating the expense of custom<br />

falsework.<br />

At <strong>PERI</strong> we constantly strive to offer<br />

the best technical solutions, logistics<br />

service <strong>and</strong> jobsite support. We truly<br />

value your business <strong>and</strong> look forward<br />

to working with you in 2010.<br />

Complex Walls<br />

Linville L<strong>and</strong> Harbor Dam, Pineola, North Carolina<br />

VARIO formwork panels with adjustable braces erected for<br />

the tight corner of the labyrinth wall.<br />

VARIO formwork <strong>and</strong> CB platforms were<br />

selected to form the labyrinth battered walls at<br />

the Linville L<strong>and</strong> Harbor Dam in Pineola, NC.<br />

The walls are 19’ in height <strong>and</strong> taper from 3’­1”<br />

wide at the base to 1’­6” at the top. With the<br />

specifics of <strong>PERI</strong>’s design the contractor saves<br />

cost by maximizing the number of pours using<br />

the same VARIO panel.<br />

For the labyrinth battered walls<br />

custom VARIO formwork panels with<br />

Versatile TRIO for Quick <strong>and</strong> Efficient<br />

Adjustment to Any Wall Configuration<br />

Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, Calumet Park, Illinois<br />

The Calumet Water Reclamation Plant<br />

is an expansion to the existing facility<br />

south of Chicago with new primary<br />

tanks, tunnels, chambers, conduits <strong>and</strong><br />

other structures.<br />

Over 35,000 ft² of TRIO wall formwork<br />

was supplied to this project in which<br />

the structural walls vary in height,<br />

thickness <strong>and</strong> plan view configuration.<br />

TRIO was the logical choice to provide<br />

the contractor the versatility <strong>and</strong> adjustability<br />

to meet their wall formwork<br />

requirements. For the construction of<br />

the cantilevered slabs, MULTIFLEX<br />

was selected <strong>and</strong> supplied with<br />

Cost-Effective Solution with Unique<br />

Configuration of SKYTABLEs<br />

Centene Plaza, Clayton, Missouri<br />

A slab table is pulled out of the building balanced<br />

by a lifting mechanism allowing the table to<br />

remain in a horizontal position at all times.<br />

Jeff Gebel,<br />

Superintendent:<br />

“<strong>PERI</strong> offers us timely service by<br />

meeting all of our schedule dem<strong>and</strong>s.<br />

This is the reason we chose the<br />

innovative SKYTABLE truss system,<br />

which allows us faster cycles while<br />

increasing safety.”<br />

Centene Plaza is a 17 story office<br />

tower located near St. Louis in Clayton,<br />

Missouri.<br />

53 <strong>PERI</strong> SKYTABLEs flying truss tables<br />

are used to construct a typical 28,000 ft²<br />

floor. The challenge was to find an<br />

efficient way to form the structure’s<br />

beam <strong>and</strong> slab decks using an efficient<br />

large format table form. The solution<br />

was to attach the 16” high slab<br />

box-outs to the SKYTABLEs so that<br />

the entire shoring system moved intact.<br />

This allows Concrete Strategies to<br />

achieve a seven day cycle with the floor<br />

cast in two pours. Because the local<br />

building code restricts equipment from<br />

being flown above the streets, many<br />

of the tables are rolled across the floor<br />

to be lifted from the opposite side of<br />

the building to the next level.<br />

The unique configuration of SKYTABLEs is used<br />

for the fast construction of the beam <strong>and</strong> slab<br />

decks with slab box-outs built into the tables.<br />

SKYTABLE trusses are quickly moved <strong>and</strong><br />

reset to form a large area of the slab.<br />

Tremendous Time Savings<br />

through Quick SKYTABLE Installation<br />

Mirabella, Portl<strong>and</strong>, Oregon<br />

Mike Graver, Foreman:<br />

“The SKYTABLEs save us a tremendous<br />

amount of time because we can<br />

install them much faster, only taking<br />

9 minutes compared to the other conventional<br />

slab tables which average<br />

20 to 25 minutes to lift <strong>and</strong> install.”<br />

Ten ACS G units are used to self-climb the<br />

VARIO wall formwork for the large core.<br />

Mirabella Continuing Care Retirement<br />

Community is located at Portl<strong>and</strong>‘s<br />

South Waterfront <strong>and</strong> will offer<br />

30 floors of senior living apartments<br />

with spectacular views of Mt. Hood, the<br />

West Hills, the Willamette River <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Portl<strong>and</strong> skyline.<br />

<strong>PERI</strong> is supplying the full scope of formwork<br />

for this project. The 11’ tall core<br />

walls are formed with VARIO that is<br />

self-climbed using ten ACS G units. This<br />

configuration allows for the slabs <strong>and</strong><br />

walls to be cast monolithically saving a<br />

day in the con struction cycle.<br />

SKYDECK is the perfect solution for the slab<br />

areas that cannot be formed with SKYTABLEs.<br />

29 SKYTABLEs that range between<br />

20‘ x 12‘ <strong>and</strong> 44‘ x 10‘ are used to<br />

form the 15,000 ft² of 7 ½“ slabs for<br />

the typical floor. The slab tables are<br />

each stripped <strong>and</strong> reset in only nine<br />

minutes which allows Hoffman to<br />

The four elevator cores are formed<br />

with VARIO which is hydraulically selfclimbed<br />

with the new ACS Core system<br />

in combination with the well proven<br />

variants ACS R <strong>and</strong> ACS G. The system<br />

allows McHugh to climb the formwork<br />

without the use of a crane from the very<br />

first full height lift. This feature was critical<br />

on this project because of the tight<br />

schedule <strong>and</strong> limited crane time allotted<br />

<strong>PERI</strong> outfitted each core with a proprietary<br />

concrete distributor to be able to<br />

pump the core walls without the use of<br />

a placing boom or spider.


ACS G is the optimal fit for the small spaces<br />

between the two cores.<br />

VARIO <strong>and</strong> TRIO are used to form the elevator<br />

<strong>and</strong> stair core walls.<br />

The new ACS Core was developed<br />

specifically for concrete cores of<br />

buildings. This addition to the proven<br />

ACS self climbing system consists<br />

almost entirely of rentable items.<br />

Optimized Climbing Sequence<br />

During the crane independent stripping<br />

procedure, the new VARIO<br />

inside corner is simply released.<br />

Retracting the inside wall forms is no<br />

longer necessary.<br />

Immediately after releasing the corners,<br />

the platform system is hydraulically<br />

raised. This leads to significant<br />

time savings in the construction<br />

cycle.<br />

Climbing during any kind of<br />

weather<br />

The <strong>PERI</strong> ACS system can be<br />

climbed during just about any<br />

weather. Therefore, delays in the<br />

construction cycle can be minimized.<br />

ACS platforms can also be enclosed,<br />

which protects the workers <strong>and</strong><br />

results in working conditions like they<br />

are on the ground level.<br />

High capacity <strong>and</strong> safety<br />

The extremely reliable <strong>and</strong> robust<br />

ACS 100 self climbing jacks are being<br />

used to climb the ACS platforms as<br />

well as a placing boom, if required.<br />

The integrated flow dividing technology<br />

ensures the synchronized<br />

extension of all cylinders <strong>and</strong> makes<br />

climbing easy.<br />

Flexibility<br />

The system is three dimensionally<br />

adaptable through the integrated<br />

125 mm raster. This allows the utilization<br />

of almost all rentable components.<br />

“This system is fast, works well,<br />

<strong>and</strong> fits well. I have used <strong>PERI</strong><br />

before <strong>and</strong> <strong>PERI</strong> has always been<br />

good in every way.”<br />

Two pylons are constructed using VARIO formwork<br />

<strong>and</strong> RCS climbing formwork scaffolding.<br />

When fully assembled, each unit will provide a<br />

total of six work levels completely enclosing each<br />

pylon.<br />

RCS easily adapts to the tapered pylons while<br />

providing a completely enclosed <strong>and</strong> safe working<br />

platform.<br />

The new Indian River Inlet Bridge will<br />

replace the existing structurally deficient<br />

span along the Coastal Highway<br />

between Rehoboth Beach <strong>and</strong> Bethany<br />

Beach. The cable stayed bridge consists<br />

of four 240’ tall pylons with a cast-inplace<br />

deck for the two 400’ back spans<br />

<strong>and</strong> 950’ main span.<br />

<strong>PERI</strong> is supplying four sets of VARIO<br />

formwork <strong>and</strong> Rail Climbing System<br />

(RCS) platforms to construct the pylons.<br />

The VARIO was designed with only two<br />

rows of ties for the 18’ typical lift height<br />

<strong>and</strong> to accommodate the longitudinal<br />

VARIO formwork on the self-locking carriage of<br />

the RCS platform.<br />

taper of the pylons without the need<br />

for field cutting. <strong>PERI</strong> preassembled<br />

the 2’ - 6” radius outside corners to<br />

expedite the onsite assembly of the<br />

formwork. Skanska specified the<br />

RCS crane-climbing shuttering scaffold<br />

because it is always connected to the<br />

structure during the climbing process<br />

which is important for this windy site<br />

location along the Delaware shore. The<br />

RCS system allows the formwork to<br />

VARIO panel retracted on the RCS shuttering<br />

scaffold ready to be closed for the next pour.<br />

the contractor is completing one lift per<br />

week for each pylon.<br />

<strong>PERI</strong> is also supplying <strong>PERI</strong> UP stair<br />

towers to access the pylon formwork<br />

<strong>and</strong> the bridge deck. In 2010 the traveler<br />

formwork for the main span will be<br />

“My guys really like the TRIO<br />

system. They like the single clamp<br />

system <strong>and</strong> the few vertical walers<br />

<strong>and</strong> ties required.”<br />

TRIO formwork with working platform utilized for<br />

the construction of a bridge abutment.<br />

The Parksville 17 Bypass project includes<br />

the construction of thirteen new<br />

bridges. Once completed, it will re-route<br />

traffic around the town of Parksville, NY<br />

to establish economic <strong>and</strong> residential<br />

growth. Delaney selected <strong>PERI</strong> TRIO for<br />

the bridges’ complex abutments, wing<br />

High quality concrete finish achieved on the abutments<br />

due to TRIO’s Finnform plywood facing.<br />

walls <strong>and</strong> piers because of the systems<br />

versatility <strong>and</strong> efficiency.<br />

<strong>PERI</strong> also designed custom TRIO panels<br />

requiring far fewer ties to accommodate<br />

the sharp angles on some of the abutment<br />

walls.

VARIO Wall <strong>Formwork</strong> for Excellent Finish<br />

on Battered Bridge Walls<br />

Freya Street Bridge, Spokane, Washington<br />

The formwork<br />

for the pier<br />

beam is supported<br />

by SKS<br />

brackets, which<br />

also provide<br />

for convenient<br />

bracing <strong>and</strong><br />

safe working<br />

platforms.<br />

FB 180 <strong>and</strong> KG 180 platforms provide safe<br />

access for the second pours of an abutment<br />

wall.<br />

The new Freya Street Bridge in<br />

Spokane will span over an active existing<br />

railroad track. The variety of <strong>PERI</strong><br />

systems supplied to this project meet<br />

the stringent specifications set by the<br />

Washington State DOT.<br />

HDT beam spanning between SKS<br />

brackets support the weight of the<br />

pier caps <strong>and</strong> provide a safe working<br />

platform. The <strong>PERI</strong> FB 180 Folding<br />

Platforms arrive on the site ready to<br />

use. The contractor simply unfolds the<br />

platform, pins the brace, <strong>and</strong> hangs<br />

the platform on the wall. The SK Tie<br />

System created a water tight seal on<br />

the tie holes for all of the walls on<br />

the Freya Street Bridge.<br />

VARIO wall formwork is used to form the battered<br />

walls for an excellent concrete finish.<br />
