The Project
Impressions from the project process
The execution of this very impressive project required unique engineering and assembly implementation on the construction site.
On the basis of mock-up pours, the feasibility of the planning procedures could be checked as well as determining the realization of possible concrete surfaces.
Due to the special characteristics of the required component shapes, the numerous twisted surfaces were realized with 3D formwork units assembled at PERI´s assembly facilities.
Implementation of the 3D grid model on the construction site with clearly defined tie positions and formwork panel joints.
The large quantities of formwork materials and the short construction schedule required a very high level of commitment from all those involved in the project.
Apart from the extensive contribution made by the customized formwork construction, a wide range of series equipment was used.
On 20th May 2006, the Mercedes-Benz Museum was officially opened – for visitors from all around the world.
The design by the Dutch architect, Ben van Berkel, avoids the use of corners and edges to a large extent. The basic concept is based on a double-helix.
Up to 5,000 visitors a day marvel at 120 years of automotive history in the Mercedes-Benz Museum.

The team of supervisors agree
Building this difficult structure under enormous time pressure is a unique achievement. The complicated PERI formwork units could be handled like system formwork and we could achieve qualitatively excellent results. We are proud of the fact that we have accomplished this enormous feat together with PERI.
