    The A26 project stands out on account of its five different tunnel cross-sections. In addition, the bends feature tight radii of 50 m to 750 m and the tunnel gradients vary, making it difficult to implement the new transport network.
    To construct the 1,600-m-long access tunnel, PERI engineers developed the first customised and fully hydraulic special-purpose formwork carriage. This alone was sufficient to construct the different cross-sections in a total of 170 concreting sections.
    Given the fact that the very tight curve radii made it difficult to transport the tunnel carriage, an innovative caterpillar system was used to move it.

    The A26 project is one of the most important infrastructure projects in the Austrian city of Linz and the surrounding area with the goal to ease congestion on its urban transport network. The key to success during the project implementation stage was a PERI engineering solution that was innovative, safe and efficient in equal measure, coupled with comprehensive project support. The highlight: The first fully hydraulic tunnel formwork carriage with a caterpillar drive in Austria.

    PERI assisted with the construction of the 550-m-long and 27-m-wide drive-by platform by providing a customised formwork carriage solution.
    The 15,300 m² bridge area is supported by 70 V-shaped columns at a height of over 10 m.
    The 70 V-shaped columns were also constructed with the help of PERI formwork systems.

    Innovative VARIOKIT Pier System – High performance for bridge pier construction

    Simultaneously to bauma 2022, PERI will be presenting the VARIOKIT Pier System, a system on the market which aims to revolutionise bridge construction. PERI, one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of formwork and scaffolding systems for the modern construction sector, is setting a new standard in bridge construction with the introduction of VARIOKIT Pier System (VPS). VPS brings together safety and efficiency to provide a versatile, high-performance system for the construction of bridge piers and pier caps. VPS is based on the VARIOKIT Engineering Construction Kit, which means that almost all project requirements can be met using rentable solutions.

    The modular PERI UP Facade Scaffold now has an even higher load-bearing capacity and offers greater flexibility thanks to the EVOTOP series. In addition to the introduction of further sophisticated standard assemblies, a significantly reduced number of components and ties is a major advantage in use.
    Thanks to the EVOTOP series from the PERI UP Scaffolding Kit, even wider, longer and higher facade scaffolds can be built in demanding load classes. Heavy and inflexible frames are therefore no longer required in facade scaffold construction.
    PERI UP Cladding is a newly conceived, flexible enclosure system that is the perfect addition to the PERI UP Scaffolding Kit. It helps in providing a spatial enclosure for the construction site, while being an easy-to-install and translucent shield for the construction site personnel and the surrounding area.

    The 85 m high and 485 m long Filstal Bridge brings together all the challenges of bridge construction: a sophisticated construction method with slender superstructures and high bridge piers that widen in a Y-shape at the crown, high architectural concrete requirements and a narrow time window to meet the completion deadline.
    The cantilevered parapets on the west bridge were constructed in 24-m-sections using a total of four VARIOKIT Cantilevered Parapet Carriages.
    PERI engineers assisted with the construction of the piers, superstructure and tunnel portals using their solution expertise and modular, coordinated formwork and scaffolding systems.

    Diving in Poland: PERI constructs the deepest diving pool in the world

    Far away from the world's well-known diving paradises, the Polish city of Mszczonów has become home to what is currently the deepest diving pool in the world. Numerous PERI systems were used for the construction of the pool, which has a depth of up to 45.50 metres. The special highlight was the dismantling of the ST 100 Stacking Towers used: for reasons relating to the static requirements, the stacking towers could only be dismantled after the pool had been filled with water – not by the company's own construction site staff, but by specially trained divers.
