Scaffolding technology news PERI intensifies activities in the growth market of scaffold systems

In recent years, based on its ever-increasing involvement in the continuously growing worldwide market, PERI has been able to significantly expand the turnover in the scaffolding systems segment. Parallel to this, the number of customers and business partners has increased which the Weissenhorn-based company will be presenting a wide range of technological innovations to at bauma 2016.

By concentrating on the focal points of efficiency and safety, PERI has

aggressively expanded the scaffold technology corporate division in recent years

through the addition of new system components and application solutions.

Investment in advisory services, engineering and sales are also oriented to

conform with the corporate strategy which regards the worldwide prospering

growth of the scaffolding sector as a great opportunity for the future. As can be

seen by numerous reference projects, the fields of application of PERI UP

scaffolding technology are expanding. Except for building and infrastructure

construction, PERI scaffold systems in the meantime can now be seen as working

platforms and load-bearing constructions in many areas of the manufacturing

industry.

With regard to consulting and engineering, an integrated approach is taken in

providing support for all scaffolding customers. For this, PERI includes all the

experience gained from countless projects around the globe in the design and

execution. Scaffolding customer can therefore generally expect not only the best

problem-solving expertise but also the optimal solution for each specific

challenge. This applies to both the cost-effectiveness as well as safety at all

levels because both aspects are basically in the foreground of the entire PERI

system technology

PERI holds ready the rentable scaffolding material at over 120 logistics sites

worldwide. As a result, the contractor can avoid making any costly investments

and instead carry out very transparent calculations for individual, object-related

concepts as well as realizing cost-effective implementation. Another advantage is

apparent if scaffolding concepts for optimization are supplemented by

components taken from the PERI formwork portfolio.

The new PERI UP Easy scaffolding system Next generation facade scaffold

The same question arises ahead of every technical development: is it right to take the next development steps going down the familiar route or use other approaches to achieve new and better solutions? For the new PERI UP Easy scaffolding system, PERI decided in favour of the latter option. It combines the fast assembly of a frame scaffold with the flexibility of modular scaffolding thereby exploiting the weight advantages of high strength steels. This combination gives rise to safety and work procedure benefits that were not previously possible in facade scaffolding activities to this degree as well as always being practice-oriented.

The key to this lies in the constructive centrepiece of the PERI UP Easy

scaffolding system: its open frame with the integrated rosette nodes. Through

these nodes, PERI UP Easy can be combined with the system components of the

PERI UP Flex Modular Scaffolding. Apart from possible adaptation to suit

complex building geometry, PERI UP Easy thus offers simple and rapid

installation on stair towers, brackets, internal guardrails, roof edge protection

scaffold or working platforms.

In addition, a number of new developments determine the efficiency of the

scaffolding system; for example, the Easy quick coupling system for connecting to

the scaffolding anchors. Without requiring any tools, the coupling is inserted into a

longitudinal hole in the frame or on a bracket, and fixed in position by being

turned 90°. Also following the principle of the tool-free assembly is the simple

corner configuration whereby no couplings are required, likewise the installation

of the decking which features the integrated protection against lifting.

Look at the scaffolders

PERI UP Easy is the result of intensive involvement with the working environment

found in scaffolding construction. All conversations and discussions with

scaffolders have repeatedly confirmed which working realities scaffold erection

teams are confronted with every day. In addition to the generally high risk of

accidents and time pressure, it is primarily the lifting and carrying of heavy loads

and working in forced postures that are seen as particularly detrimental to a

worker´s health. Through the use of high strength steels and the constructive

finishing touches, PERI UP Easy is one of the lightest steel facade scaffolding on

Page 1 | 4



the market. The low weight per unit area of 8.9 kg/m² results in approximately

20% lower weight in comparison to conventional frame scaffolding. Overall, this

means: a scaffolder has at least 500 kg less weight to carry, lift and install each

working day.

Safety and cost-effectiveness should never be a contradiction

On the contrary: working with or on scaffolding always means moving around in a

high-risk location. Based on this unalterable fact, PERI has always drawn the only

sustainable conclusion in scaffolding construction: not until work safety is

improved can the economic efficiency of the entire system be increased.

With the open frame and the resulting guardrail in advance, PERI has succeeded

in realizing this quantum leap. As the guardrail for the next scaffolding level is

already mounted without any additional components with the Easy Frame from

the level below the scaffolder can move around on all scaffold levels at all times

without requiring anti-fall protection.

The unique feature of the PERI UP Easy frame scaffolding is the PERI rosette

node on the frame whereby the boundaries between frame and modular

scaffolding merge together. This allows, for example, brackets to be connected

directly or scaffold staircases can be installed without any additional frame

columns. In all other assembly processes, considerable savings can also be

made in each case regarding materials and working time.

Through the use of the proven decking system taken from the PERI UP Flex

Modular Scaffolding, the advantages of self-securing decks as well as the very

quick Gravity Lock are now also being used with frame scaffolding.

Without limits in new and existing buildings

In addition to the erection speed when working on the facade, the ability to adapt

to the contours and geometries of the structure is always a decisive criterion.

Projections and recesses in the facade, cantilevered and free-standing structural

components: for the scaffolder, all of this can be equally well-managed thanks to

the unique assembly versatility of PERI UP Easy in combination with PERI UP

Flex. In this connection, the metric grid dimensions both in length and width also

play an important role. Through the 33 cm decking width, the scaffold decks can

be used in both 67 cm as well as metre-wide scaffolding.

lightest steel facade scaffolds available on the

market, and, in addition, it provides a high level of

safety in the system: the guardrail for the next level

is installed together with the Easy Frame from the

lower scaffolding level without requiring any

additional components.

as the 33 cm wide steel decks are designed with

the integrated lock against lift off. They can be

removed at any time. Without exception, all

decking covers the entire system width; there are

no gaps between the decks.

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.

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.

PERI introduces new, more cost-efficient props to

the market.

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.

without any effort – this is being presented by

PERI at bauma 2016.

Photo 2 A sheeting which can be heated ensures that

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.

Maximum flexibility for scaffolding

construction PERI UP Scaffolding Systems for industrial usage

For use in industry, a scaffolding system must be extremely adaptable and quick to mount. At the same time, all working areas must fulfil the very high requirements for occupational safety. The fact that the flexible PERI UP Flex Modular Scaffolding System optimally meets all prerequisites has been proven in countless projects.

Currently, large amounts of materials are being used in the Northwest Redwater

Project in Canada – the world's most advanced oil sands refinery. Here, in

addition to important safety issues, the focus is on time and cost reductions

during the scaffold erection work. PERI has been supporting the internationally

active EPC company with 3D planning services as well as with a control software

for ensuring an optimized combination of scaffold planning and scaffold

execution.

The versatile range of additional system components for specialized applications,

such as suspended scaffolds, are continuously adapted to match the

corresponding needs of the users. The high material utilization of standard

components with a high level of execution efficiency can be seen as a great

success in this respect. Also finding increasing use is the combination of PERI UP

with the VARIOKIT Engineering Construction Kit. The uniform system grid

arrangement, standardized connecting means and the option of renting of all

system components make project-specific planning extremely cost-effective. At

bauma 2016 in Munich, the advantages and possibilities will be explained and

highlighted through a special exhibit.

is proving itself more and more in industrial

applications – as for the construction of this oil

sand refinery in Canada.

benefits with PERI UP, the competent on-site

project support in particular is an important factor

regarding the reduction of time and costs.

Furthermore, the detailed 3D scaffolding planning

along with early consultation and coordination with

all participants increases work safety and efficiency

on construction sites.

PERI expands its production capacities for

scaffolding systems Purchase of Silvergreen facility in Günzburg, Germany

The Weissenhorn-based company PERI has announced the purchase of the Silvergreen site in Günzburg. The new location will complement the main plant in Weissenhorn as the expansion possibilities there are very limited.

As part of the company´s successful strategy in the scaffolding sector and the

resulting increase in sales volumes, PERI urgently requires additional production

capacity. However, at the headquarters in Weissenhorn, the currently available

areas earmarked for expansion have been reserved for the expected future

growth of the central administration as well as the German PERI subsidiary. Also

for the core activity of formwork production in Weissenhorn, all reserve areas

must be kept for future growth. As the family business knows and appreciates the

advantages provided in the region, in particular the supply of highly skilled

qualified workers as well as reliable suppliers, the site acquired in Günzburg,

approx. 25 km away from Weissenhorn, presents an ideal complement. In the

future, the PERI Group´s main scaffolding manufacturing facility will be based at

this 135,000 m² area. The manufactured scaffolding systems are highly

appreciated worldwide by customers from the industry and the construction sector

due to the simple handling and high safety standards.

Leonhard Braig, Managing Director for Products and Technology at PERI

stressed that the existing production in Weissenhorn will continue as before. "The

purchase of the Silvergreen site marks for us a further important step as part of

our growth strategy in the scaffolding market. We take a long-term approach, and

the location based in Günzburg creates the framework conditions required for

future corporate growth."

PERI considers the location of the plant as a particular advantage. On the one

hand, it is a short distance from the headquarters in Weissenhorn and, on the

other, it has optimal accessibility from a logistics perspective though the direct

connection to the A8 motorway. During the course of this year, it is planned to

commence production of scaffolding components; the new facility will create new

jobs for around 90 skilled personnel.

The successful growth strategy adopted by PERI is also reflected in the figures. In

2015, PERI was able to increase turnover by 13 % thus surpassing its own sales

record established in 2008. For Dr. Fabian Kracht, Managing Director for Finance

and Organization, it is no coincidence. "Through the early and consistent

internationalization strategy that was implemented, PERI could participate in and

benefit from the growth markets in Asia, America and the Middle East. In the

meantime, PERI realizes nearly 90 % of its turnover abroad. As a result of this

international positioning, the company is also able to better compensate if faced

with national economic crises as experienced in 2015, for example, in Brazil or

Ukraine."

site in Günzburg – located around 25 km from

Weissenhorn – including the office building and

production halls.
