Transforming Housing Construction in Saudi Arabia with PERI Monolithic Formwork

PERI Monolithic Formwork, is a cutting-edge aluminium formwork system designed to enable the simultaneous casting of walls, slabs, beams, columns, and staircases, all in a single pour. This significantly reduces construction cycle times and improves efficiency on site.

Built around principles of speed, precision, and simplicity, this system sets a new benchmark for modern, industrialized construction, particularly in residential and mass housing projects.

1. Lightweight and Crane-Free Handling

• With a typical weight of 19–21 kg/m², the panels are light enough to be handled manually, eliminating the need for cranes.
• This makes the system ideal for projects in areas with limited access or those that aim to reduce machinery dependency.

2. Fully Extruded, Durable Panels

• Panels are made from 6061-grade high-strength aluminium, with vertical ribs for added robustness.
• They’re also fully extruded, meaning no welded joints—reducing risk of failure and improving finish quality.

3. Flat Snap Tie System

• The system uses flat snap ties that break cleanly 6 mm from the concrete surface, removing the need for grouting or curing and delivering a clean final finish.
• This also reduces on-site labor and post-concreting activities.

4. Superior Concrete Finish

• The powder-coated surface resists scratches and concrete adhesion.
• Tightly sealed joints between panels prevent concrete leakage, ensuring smooth, high-quality finishes with minimal need for plastering.

5. Reduced Labor and Training Requirements

• Designed to be easy to assemble, even for inexperienced workers, the system can be quickly learned after minimal orientation.
• A smart color coding system with intuitive stickers helps identify parts quickly and avoids errors during assembly.

6. Faster Project Completion

• With minimal components and simple connections, site operations are significantly accelerated.
• The system allows high repetition rates and supports standard panel usage across multiple projects.

 

Sustainable and Cost-Efficient Construction

PERI Monolithic supports modern sustainability goals:

• Recyclable aluminium panels reduce environmental impact and provide long-term value with resale potential.
• The system’s reusability minimizes construction site waste and reduces CO₂ emissions from unnecessary material consumption.
• Digital mock-ups and factory-based design ensure optimized plans and error-free execution, reducing rework and material loss.
