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 />

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 />

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 />
be retracted 36” to facilitate the installation<br />
of the reinforcing steel. Currently<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 />
