Project Information

For this type of construction, the right choice of formwork and climbing systems is the key to success. PERI has proven itself to be an extremely competent partner and the company´s huge project experience together with its tremendous commitment to the project has contributed greatly to the fact that we are ahead of schedule! The results that we could achieve with the ACS self-climbing system have completely fulfilled our expectations. While taking the extremely complex geometry of the structure into account, we could produce a concrete surface of the highest quality.
