The Project
Impressions from the project process
Due to the slender form of the building, the use of concrete for the realization of the structure was inevitable. A wide range of formwork expertise was required in order to complete this concert hall: TRIO panel formwork for the foundations, climbing formwork for symmetrically-arranged round and curved sail-like walls.
All carriage movements are carried out using three independently operated hydraulic circuits: moving forward and retracting, positioning as well as shuttering and striking.
Positioning of the VARIO GT 24 internal formwork for the curved and inclining sail-like walls. Anchoring the supports in the suspended intermediate slab served to carry the high horizontal loads from the bracing.
Situated in a prominent position on the seafront on Tenerife, architect Santiago Calatrava presented a work of art.
With the design of this spectacular structure, architect Santiago Calatrava has defied the basics of conventional architecture. Three different construction elements, which he described as “wings”, “nut” and “sail”, characterize the 58 m high building. (Photo: R. Mendez)
The Auditorio de Tenerife is used as a concert hall and is an example of the almost unlimited possibilities provided by concrete construction. The formwork technology required for such a structure presented a special challenge which our engineers solved in a rational and safe manner.
Project Information
Due to the good cooperation between the construction team and PERI engineers, we could successfully implement the challenging formwork solutions. We achieved outstanding results.
