Tour de force in formwork construction DUO – the universal lightweight formwork from PERI for walls and slabs

With the recently introduced DUO Lightweight Formwork, PERI has proved how more than just minor improvements are possible through a combination of new materials and a new component systematic. The top of the product specification list for the new development featured significantly extended fields of application, lightweight design with sufficient load-bearing capacity and simple handling.

For the new product, the PERI development had set itself some ambitious goals.

This meant totally re-thinking the situation and, in this case, beginning with the

material used.

Engineering plastic replacing steel, aluminium and wood Traditional formwork systems rely on long-proven materials namely wood, steel

and aluminium for their supporting and load-bearing constructions. They still have

a role to play and have specific strengths, among other things, accommodating

high loads and large-scale applications. During the development (and for some

time previous to this), PERI took into consideration the option of engineering

plastics which allow much greater freedom in the design and, with the correct

selection of materials, their physical properties can be tailored very precisely to

match the field of application.

For the vast majority of the components of the new DUO formwork system, PERI

uses a specially developed fibre-reinforced plastic which is resistant to moisture-

related swelling and shrinkage, corrosion-proof and problem-free when coming

into contact with concrete. The required mechanical properties can be adjusted

through variable fibre content in the system components. Regarding the intended

load-bearing capacity, significant weight savings are achieved as a result of using

the plastic compared to steel or aluminium constructions. In addition, any minor

damage to the surface of the formlining manufactured of the same material can

easily be repaired. The formwork panels are matched to the size of the panel and

can be quickly replaced on site using simple tools.

The fact that the components are so light is noticeable in many aspects. In the

first instance, of course, with the handling: no part is heavier than 25 kg, and even

two DUO panels connected together for standard wall heights of 270 cm, and

weighing 53 kg, can easily be brought into position by two persons. Lightweight


Page 2 | 4


components make the handling easier, reduce the physical strain while

simultaneously reducing the risk of accidents significantly. In terms of transport

and logistics, fewer moving masses are involved and no equipment or cranes with

high payloads are required – thus reducing energy and equipment costs.

Walls, foundations, slabs, columns with one system PERI´s declared aim was to develop the individual system components for a

broad range of applications. The components have been designed so that they

can be very flexibly combined and used for different tasks. In this case that

means: with DUO, walls, slabs and columns can be formed using the same

components. More than two-thirds of all system components can be used for

horizontal and vertical applications. The numerous identical parts for horizontal

and vertical use not only provide an integrated operating and assembly logic, they

also ensure procurement costs and storage space remain considerably smaller

than is the case of separate formwork systems for walls and slabs. Sample

invoices show that, with a smaller amount of standard equipment for forming

walls, only around 20 % more investment is required in order to also realize slab

formwork with the system – including tie technology, push-pull props and slab

props, brackets and guardrails.

Just as important to the developers was to take advantage of the high degree of

freedom with respect to design and shaping that the manufacturing process

provides. As a result, there is only one connector for all components, the posts for

the external and internal corners are identical, the push-pull prop connector also

functions as the connection for the guardrail posts and serves to secure the

bracing for the slab formwork.

Photo 1DUO is the new system formwork which is

characterized by its low weight and very simple

handling. The innovative feature is not only the

material used but also the entire concept: efficient

forming using only a minimum number of different

system components for walls, foundations,

columns and slabs.

such as couplers and corner posts have been

designed so that they can be used for numerous

applications.

MAXIMO – more height, more accessories,

more areas of application New development stage for the high-end wall formwork system from PERI

A few years ago, PERI set a new standard in the market with the introduction of the MAXIMO Panel Formwork with ties inserted from one side only. Further development of the system is an on-going process as can now be seen at bauma 2016. System enhancements for MAXIMO form one of the focal points of PERI´s presentation in the wall formwork segment.

PERI MAXIMO has become a synonym for efficient forming operations. The

single-sided tie technology contributes a large part to the significant time-savings

that can be realized with MAXIMO. The well thought-out range of accessories

extends the application possibilities and supports the special quality requirements

with which the high-end formwork competes in its segment.

New element heights For large floor heights in high-quality residential construction projects or, for

example, in underground garages larger formwork frame heights save time.

MAXIMO Panel Elements, Multi-Purpose Panels, Inside, Outside as well as Shaft

Corners are therefore now available in the new heights of 3.00 m and 3.60 m.

Only 2 anchors are required for a panel height of 3.00 m while the MX 18 Anchor

System is used for wall thicknesses up to 60 cm.

New Bracket System MXK With the Bracket System MXK, the MAXIMO and TRIO formwork systems have

been enhanced by the addition of a modular working platform. The bracket is

mounted on horizontally-positioned formwork. Assembly of the lightweight and

therefore easy to handle system components such as decking with or without

access hatches, stopend rails and side mesh barriers, guardrail posts as well as

solutions for internal and external corners is carried out without tools. Only those

who prefer conventional planking and boards as decking must allow more time for

correct installation using screws or nails. PERI provides this option in order to

give the user freedom of choice and to offer an alternative depending on the

availability on the construction site. Complete assembly on the ground including

the securing devices results in a safe working platform in compliance with health

and safety regulations immediately after placing the formwork. PERI also offers

Page 1 | 3



the Scaffold Bracket MXK in a version with an integrated push-pull prop

connection that, depending on the formwork assembly, might otherwise project

into the working area on the platform and thus present an obstacle for the

construction crew.

New Concreting Platform MX Likewise new in the programme is the Concreting Platform MX featuring a

practical robust construction of galvanized components and a stable surface

comprised of a steel grating. The 2.40 m x 1.00 m covering has an integrated

safety catch and guardrails can simply be folded down for storage and

transportation.

Faster setting of stopends Instead of stopend ties, walers and wingnut counterplates, stopends from 15 cm

up to 40 cm can be immediately closed with the stopend waler. The waler can be

continuously adjusted for walls ranging from 15 cm to 40 cm, and can be used

with both MAXIMO and TRIO elements.

Winterproof with Heating Elements MXH In order that users can continue using MAXIMO in climatically unfavorable areas

with prolonged cold spells, PERI has developed the electrically-operated Heating

Element MXH. The dimensions have been matched to suit the MAXIMO formwork

elements and are available in the standard dimensions of 2.70 m and 2.40 m high

or 1.20 m wide with 2 extension panels respectively.

Installation of the heating elements is carried out horizontally. Recesses and

detailed solutions ensure that all functions of the MAXIMO formwork elements

remain unrestricted. The use of BFD Alignment Couplers, assembly of the

Scaffold Bracket MXK and the use of MX Tie Technology is also possible with

mounted heating elements. Attaching the heating elements takes place

horizontally and requires only two screws at each corner. The adjustable

temperature range for heating operations is +20° C to +80° C.

Improved corrosion protection through cavity sealing Powder coating on the outside and galvanized insides of the frames have already

provided very high level of corrosion protection and easy cleaning of the MAXIMO

panel elements. A new addition is CAVITIX, a cavity sealing option for the inside

of the frame construction. Through the protective film inside the frame, humidity

and condensation can also no longer attack this particular area.

With the development stage now reached and presented at bauma 2016, the

claim that PERI MAXIMO is one of the most comprehensive systems for high-end

formwork on the market has been confirmed once again. Independent

measurements confirm the efficiency and economical working operations with

MAXIMO.

Working platform the easy way PERI bracket system MXK for MAXIMO and TRIO formwork

In many areas of formwork technology, PERI already relies on modular solutions. The lightweight Bracket System MXK bears on the principle in order to realize safe working platforms on MAXIMO and TRIO formwork elements. Through the modular design, customized configurations are possible.

A bracket alone is not a working platform but it does define what is actually

possible. The PERI Scaffold Bracket MXK is hooked into the struts of the

horizontally-positioned MAXIMO or TRIO panel formwork without requiring tools

while still on the ground and forms the basis for any configurations depending on

the particular requirements and the availability of materials on the construction

site.

System components – or wood Apart from the scaffold bracket itself, the MXK system also includes scaffold

decks with working areas made of steel or coated wood along with side mesh

barriers lengthwise to the panel formwork. The lengths of the platforms are

adapted to suit the standard widths of the MAXIMO and TRIO panel formwork

elements in each case whereby the decks are also available with access hatches

for multi-storey structures. For those who prefer to work conventionally with wood

can nail or screw wooden planks to the bracket to form the decking. With PERI

Guardrail Posts, not only can the PMB Side Mesh Barrier be used but also simple

boarding. For open edges and transitions to adjacent working platforms, PERI

offers swivel-mounted end guardrails. An interesting additional detail: the MXK

Bracket is also available in a second version complete with an integrated Push-

Pull Prop Connection. As a result, the push-pull props do not project into the

working areas on the platforms. This not only keeps all ways free of obstructions

but also increases working safety. The system is rounded off by means of an

adapter for the internal corners, decking for external corners and a filler platform

for length compensation.

Easy and simple assembly without a crane After installation of the scaffold bracket, the remaining components are also

mounted on the ground. The scaffolding platform is simply hooked in followed by

the side mesh barrier and end guardrails, or according to the required set up

Page 1 | 3



arrangement of the guardrail posts. The only physical effort worth mentioning is

required for mounting planks as the work surface if wood is the preferred material

for the decking. The entire pre-assembly procedure on the ground is carried out

without a crane whereby the components can easily be brought into position

manually. After installing the formwork, the working platforms remain mounted on

the formwork elements throughout the entire construction-site operations.

Simple craneless pre-assembly on the ground and the complete system provide

advantages when dealing with the workload as well as for work safety. Those

using MAXIMO and TRIO formwork systems also save on investment costs

because the MXK system is compatible with both.

Auxiliary heating system for the concrete PERI supplements the MAXIMO formwork system with heating elements

Building with concrete is still a climate-related task. Especially in those regions with a long cold season, PERI now ensures that concrete construction operations can be carried out regardless of the outside temperature. With the MXH Heating Elements, MAXIMO can now be expanded to provide a high-performing and efficient Heated Formwork.

In the Scandinavian countries and elsewhere, outside temperatures impose

natural limits on concrete construction. The hydration requires temperatures that

remain stable above a certain minimum value. PERI now provides a cost-effective

way for the MAXIMO formwork system to create an ideal micro-climate for

concrete components. The required heating element for this is called PERI MXH.

Practical details, simple horizontal assembly The heating elements are available in the standard heights of 2.70 m and widths

of 2.40 m and 1.20 m; furthermore, there are four matching extension elements

with heights of 1.20 m and 0.60 m. Recesses for BFD Alignment Couplers for

connecting the formwork elements and Scaffold Brackets MXK are integrated so

that the full functionality of MAXIMO, including the use of MX Tie Technology, is

maintained even when using the MXH. The heating elements are mounted

horizontally on the corresponding MAXIMO formwork elements while fastening

takes place by means of a pair of screws for each corner. The power supply is

provided by a countersunk notch for electrical connection.

One system for all seasons During operations, a set-point temperature control in a range from +20 °C to

+80 °C is possible. As a result, PERI has thus expanded the MAXIMO formwork

system to a system for all seasons which is certainly interesting not only for colder

regions but also for time-critical projects that have to be realized in shorter winter

periods in temperate climate zones.

Slab formwork with an upward swing Assembly-friendly PERI new development with a wide range of application

SKYMAX is the name of the new slab formwork from PERI presented at bauma 2016 and the performance profile is very impressive. Achieving more with only the minimum of components and, in the process, ensuring ergonomic and safe work operations were the mission of the development team. This resulted in a system completely mounted from below with a particularly flexible prophead – mission successful. One of the main features of SKYMAX: a single prophead is sufficient as it can be used in all positions.

The essential characteristics of SKYMAX initially seem unspectacular. Standard

formwork panels have dimensions of 1.00 m x 2.00 m, and can be used with PEP

Ergo Props up to a height of 3.50 m, even higher with the grid-compatible PERI

UP Flex Modular Scaffolding. With the usual support, 30 cm thick slabs and

evenness in accordance with Table 3, Line 7 of the relevant DIN 18202 can be

realized whereby slab thicknesses of 55 cm are possible through additional props

under the panels in the centre. However, taking a closer look reveal the details of

the construction along with the simple handling during assembly and dismantling

of the formwork as well as the easy realization of slab tables with a minimum of

effort.

Assembly always from the safest position Formwork assembly always takes place entirely from below. The panels are

swivelled upwards one after the other and then supported. The users always

remain in the safest possible position, namely on the installation area – a clear

benefit regarding work safety. In the same way, that is to say from below,

compensation elements and the SKYMAX Guardrails are installed, which are

likewise mounted on one side and then swung into position. The formwork can

subsequently be safely accessed. The support itself shows another interesting

detail. Due to the special shape of the prophead and the interlocking feature of

the panel construction, changes in the installation direction as well as and moving

the panels against each other are easily possible. One and the same prophead

can be used for all relevant positions – at panel intersections, directly on rising

walls and in corners or for a centrally-positioned prop of adjacent panels. Even

when changing the direction of the panels, no other prophead is required.

Page 1 | 3



Fewer components provide a clear overview In addition to the standard SKYMAX Prophead, PERI offers a drophead which

allows early striking. A longitudinal beam for a prop grid arrangement of 2.00 m x

2.00 m supplements the system. And with an additional beam, panels can be

mounted on site to form slab tables of up to 4.00 m x 6.00 m. This is a particular

advantage as in this way slab tables can be quickly realized as needed and with

an absolute minimum of effort and costs, and only minimized transportation and

logistics costs.

Restriction to functionally practical components is not only highlighted through the

example of the universally applicable prophead, it also continues throughout the

entire system. This relieves storage requirements, logistics and the cost balance.

More workplace safety, workload reduction through the swivel-type assembly and

manageable range of components are good arguments why SKYMAX is worth

taking an even closer look at.

Photo 1 The new slab formwork SKYMAX follows the

abiding set of PERI principles of a flexible

application with only a minimum of system

components and maximum safety.

Photo 2 One special feature of the slab formwork: The slab

panel can be supported at any point with only one

single prophead. As an alternative SKYMAX could

be used for early striking with the Drophead.

SKYMAX is optimized for slab thicknesses up to

30 cm while maintaining the surface evenness of

Line 7 according to DIN 18202. With additional

support in the centre, 55 cm slab thicknesses can

be realized.

Customized PERI freeform formwork Solutions for the highest architectural requirements

They are increasingly being seen more often: spectacular buildings featuring freeform architecture which, through a clear design language, places extremely high demands on the formwork technology. The new design possibilities are based on 3D drawings that can work together with freeform contours.

In recent years, PERI has planned and manufactured freeform formwork for a

number of outstanding reference projects of renowned architects. The Stuttgart

Mercedes-Benz Museum from Ben von Berkel, London Aquatics Centre from

Zaha Hadid, or the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro designed by Santiago

Calatrava are just a few examples where PERI contributed to the success of the

projects.

Buildings with curved structural elements in all directions can only be realized with

customized special formwork. PERI engineers plan this architecture-specific

formwork units on the basis of a 3D model. During the planning, the conformity

between the architectural model and formwork unit is checked again and again on

the basis of photo-realistic, three-dimensional images and simulations. In the

process, PERI integrates the highest possible proportion of cost-reducing system

components even during the development of these unique pieces. One of the

particularly difficult challenges often involves the precise arrangement of the

subsequently visible joint and tie configuration. Here, the required steps of the

formwork assembly on the jobsite are always precisely taken into consideration.

As a result, the 3D formwork sections can be pre-assembled as special formwork

at the factory with millimetre accuracy and subsequently put together on the

construction site in a similarly straightforward way as for standard systems.

For such challenges, PERI has developed an extensive portfolio of services: from

3D planning, cut-to-size formlining and the assembly of complex formwork units

through to just-in-time delivery. The diverse international project experience has

led to a high level of detail and standardization in the execution of such formwork

projects which offers PERI customers a large number of advantages. This ranges

from larger element sizes, improved element connections, higher permissible

concrete pressures and concreting heights through to visually pleasing joint-free

element transitions.

Page 1 | 2



The latest PERI freeform formwork project is the V & A Museum of Design in

Dundee, Great Britain, which has been designed by the Japanese architect,

Kengo Kuma. Currently, over 3,000 freeform formwork units are being planned at

the company headquarters in Weissenhorn and produced in the formwork

assembly facility. At bauma 2016, PERI will be providing insights into the design

of such freeform formwork.

Mixed double – one formwork panel, two

surfaces PERI FinPly Maxi large-sized formwork panel with selectable surface finish

Surface appearance is one of the key elements for architectural concrete. PERI now provides two options in one and the same formwork panel sheet. Matt or glossy: only a matter of the assembly.

High demands mostly require special solutions. With the FinPly Maxi large-sized

formwork panel – presented for the first time at bauma 2016 – PERI offers an

attractive cost-effective solution that combines two contrasting fields of application

in one product.

Matt or glossy What has been previously only been available in smaller formats, has now been

transferred by PERI to larger surfaces: manufactured from high quality and strong

plywood material, the FinPly Maxi features the absorbent wood surface of the

base material on one side while the other side is smoothly coated with phenolic

resin. Depending on the assembly, this results in a matt or glossy finish after

striking.

As areas of use, PERI provides for applications with particularly high

requirements regarding architectural concrete with large concreting widths or

heights, or large-dimensioned freeform formwork units. Element transitions can

be smoothly realized with the new large-sized formwork panel producing an

attractive finish, a quality criterion in particular for special architectural objects

where the image factor plays an important role.

The dual application possibilities of FinPly Maxi makes the new development from

PERI a good investment – acquisition and storage costs are thus significantly

reduced due to the different surfaces.

PERI PEP Alpha The steel tube slab props for daily use

The new prop family, PEP Alpha, is classified as Class D in accordance with EN 1065 whereby the two prop types, PEP Alpha D-300 and D-350, cover around 80 % of the usual range of applications for steel tube props according to PERI´s own market observations.

The D-300 version reaches extension lengths of 1.80 m to 3.00 m while the larger

D-350 model covers the 2.00 m to 3.50 m range. The required load-bearing

capacity according to EN 1065 Class D is maintained through to the full extension

length and significantly exceeds this with smaller extension lengths. For the PEP

Alpha D-300, PERI confirms a load capacity of up to 41.4 kN, with up to 37.5 kN

for the D-350. These are exceptional practice-oriented values which show a very

positive increase compared with the norm. In comparison with the proven PEP

Ergo props, also from PERI, the PEP Alpha props have a more simple design.

They do without, among other things, details such as the possibility to repair the

prop in favour of a more favourable price.

Safer, faster and now wider PERI UP Flex Shoring Tower MDS for System Grid 150

The PERI UP Flex Shoring Tower MDS shares its best features with the PERI UP Flex scaffolding system: it can be assembled extremely quickly and offers a high level of constructional safety for users. With a new head frame, it is even more versatile.

Since it was unveiled three years ago, the PERI UP Flex Shoring Tower MDS has

proven itself in many applications. With significant weight savings, it is

exceptionally light compared to conventional constructions with a similar range of

applications. No component weighs more than 16 kg which saves the energy of

site personnel and significantly improves the otherwise very strenuous manual

handling.

Safety equipment mounted in advance In addition, the erection procedure is simplified through the special assembly

logic. The decks are transported upwards on the inside, i.e. in the area of the

shoring tower already protected, and then mounted on the respective higher-

positioned ledgers without tools from a safe working position. Following the same

principle, the guardrails are mounted in advance from the lower level in each

case. As a result, every new level is already secure before it even being

accessed. The reduced weight and assembly without tools accelerate assembly

and dismantling significantly.

New grid system, new system accessories With an extended range of accessories, PERI has opened up new areas of

application for the PERI UP Flex Shoring Tower MDS. The most important new

component is the new Head Frame MDS 150 which has allowed the MDS

standard grid to be extended from 1.25 m to 1.50 m. This means the MDS can be

used under formwork systems with larger grid dimensions, e.g. SKYDECK slab

panels or slab tables. In addition, a new head spindle is now part of the product

portfolio. For ensuring fast horizontal moving, a new connection for the Shoring

Tower MDS is available which serves for mounting the proven transportation

wheel from the PERI programme.

Upgrade for the PERI UP Flex Weather

Protection Roof LGS Faster protection

A weather protection roof makes the jobsite more independent of weather and precipitation but it is not always easy to use and also very often subjected to high operational demands.

PERI has been working on the solution – with a motor and heating. The PERI

Weather Protection Roof LGS on the basis of the LGS Lattice Girder System has

long since found its place in many construction projects as a lightweight

construction with large spans and safe operability. The advantage of having a

large-sized cover, however, makes planning difficult and unwanted loads such as

snow and ice to a potential problem. For winding and unwinding the sheeting,

PERI now offers with a solution complete with an electric motor which significantly

simplifies the operation. A concept for heating the keder sheeting will also be

presented: integrated heating wires ensure that snow accumulation is avoided

during the colder season.

neither ice nor snow can accumulate on the

weather protection roof. Such a solution eliminates

not only the work required for clearing off the

snow. In addition, the width and span can be

increased when the roof is constantly free of snow

which in turn brings time and cost savings.
