Successful construction with PERI
SKYDECK the light-weight slab formwork
for large-scale projects on fast-track
Conference Center on Parcel A01, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Daniel Keogh,
Senior Construction Manager:
The project involves multiple work
fronts that require multiple solu-
tions. The PERI range of systems,
especially for formwork, enabled the
construction team to address each
differing situation with a system to
suit. Where individual work areas
incurred varying conditions, the
exibility of the PERI systems al-
lowed for adaption of the formwork
to the requirements. Each PERI
system offers its own efciency,
whether through plant, resources or
rotation of material, which can be
imparted into the programming of
works.
The conference center is part of the
King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD)
in North Riyadh, which is one of the
most prestigious developments in Saudi
Arabia. The construction of the confer-
ence center commenced in August
2011 and is expected for nalization mid
high speed erection with minimum
cycle timings as well as optimizing the
cost of material by using economical
systems. All of the above objectives
have been met by PERI. For the large
number of columns the LICO column
formwork was selected. Due to the
easy handling and few components
needed, a one day cycle was achieved
with 11 sets of shutters. The contractor
was able to cast the core walls in a 3 to
4 days cycle by using the VARIO GT 24
wall formwork. One major concern was
the huge slab area, which needed to
be casted in a very short time. PERI
provided the light-weight slab form-
work SKYDECK with its dropheads,
MULTIPROP MP 480 and MP350.
The 24,400m of easy-to-use decking
system and the 36,000m propping
were utilized in a most efcient way.
Furthermore, SB-2 Brace Frames have
been used for the single-sided retaining
walls with heights up to 4.80m. All in
all, PERI is able to provide the perfect
formwork solution for any fast-track
project requirement.
The large-scale footprint and fast-track program of
the project required the delivery of a huge form-
work volume in a short time, which was success-
fully executed by PERI in Saudi Arabia, Germany
and several other subsidaries worldwide.
The SKYDECK slab formwork allows a systematic
and fast erection by using its few components.
Three PERI systems (VARIO GT 24, LICO Column
Formwork and SKYDECK) work hand-in-hand
on several oors.

work and scaffolding for the buildings
on the left and on the right side of this
new high-rise building.
PERI UP Rosett Flex comes with
a grid of 250 mm ensuring optimal
adaption to the structure. Intermedi-
ate decks and handrails can be xed

The metal decking design combines
high permissible loads (up to 10 kN/m)
with low weight and a slip resistant
surface.
PERI UP Rosett Flex scaffold can be
used for various applications such as
access stairs, access scaffold, faade
scaffold, industrial scaffold and shoring.
Its standard grid of 250 mm was devel-
oped to ensure maximum exibility in
any direction and has proven to be highly
adaptable to any structure or height.
PERI UP Rosett Flex main components
are vertical standards (UV), horizontal
ledgers (UH), braces (UB) and decks
(UD). The horizontal ledgers are xed to
the vertical standards through
PERI UP Rosett Flex gravity lock. Once
a ledger is hinged into the rosett node it
is immediately secured and cant come
off. The gravity lock uses vibrations on
the scaffold to further tighten the
connection.
All metal decks are perforated and self-
locking, ensuring a high slip resistance
and always safe connection to horizon-
tal ledgers. All decks are hot dip galva-
nized. Oil, chemicals or salt water can
therefore easily be removed.
Metal decks are available in widths of
250 mm and lengths from 500 mm to
3,000 mm. Any decking surface can be
closed completely by using available
system components. The result is a gap
free and safe working area.

Economical formwork solutions
for a project leading towards an eco-friendly future
TRIO panel formwork the best solution
for any project requirement
Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, MIST 1B, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Nilona Tower, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The expansion of Masdar Institute
of Science and Technology covers
the construction of a student accom-
modation, seven open laboratories, a
multi-use hall facility, swimming pool
and a gym. It will incorporate similar
energy efcient design elements such
as shaded streets, natural ventilation
and heat reecting facades that makes
the facility and architecture unique.
The total built up area is 82,000 m
and is expected to be completed over
the course of 18-months, with approxi-
mately 35% size increase to the current
campus.
PERI has been awarded the contract
to supply formwork for columns, core
walls and slabs. In order to be able to
realize such project, PERI has de-
signed customized solutions to satisfy
the needs of the client.To achieve
Nilona Tower is located in Dubai
Healthcare City Phase II, and will house
24 storeys, ground oor and 3 base-
ment oors for parking. The tower will
feature 352 elegant and luxurious guest
rooms, 128 luxury serviced apartments,
comprehensive health and tness
facilities. Guests and residents will also
have an array of nutritious gourmet din-
ing and be surrounded by spectacular
sceneries.
The differently dimensioned reinforced
concrete columns were formed with
TRIO, CB 240, MULTIFLEX and PD 8
shoring support, according to the re-
quirements using the optimal system
in each case. By using the CB 240, the
oor cycle can easily be achieved, while
PD 8 Shoring Towers provided optimal support for
the typical slabs.
The Masdar Institute was established in coopera-
tion with Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT); it focuses on research, technological
development and human capital development in
renewable energy and clean technologies.
With a customized solution for cantilever, PD 8
shoring, with a legload capacity of up to 70 kN,
has been the ideal product choice.
With PERIs table modules and props the amount
of single components could be reduced drastically.
The high exural stiffness of VARIOs girders and
matching steel walers can often be used to speed
up shuttering, by optimizing the formwork panels
and minimizing the number of tie points. In many
cases the VARIO system yields the most cost-
effective solution. The components of the VARIO
system were used to provide individual, movable
beam side shutters which fullled the requirement
of preassembling and reusing of all beam shutters.
Due to the exibility of PERIs TRIO
panel formwork, it was possible to
cover the large variety of different
vertical elements in our project. With
their MULTIFLEX system, we tackled
the challenges of non-typical struc-
tures, covering immense construc-
tion areas. For our typical slabs
we used PERIs table forms, which
allowed us to reach a short construc-
tion cycle. Throughout the project
we were satised with PERIs sup-
port and their technical experience
and solutions.

keeping a safe working environment
and being in need of less manpower.
For forming, reinforcing and concreting
the shear oors, TRIO resources were
used. Swivel Head Table form served
for the slab edge formwork.
The broad PERI product range and opti-
mized logistical operations through only
one formwork partner simplied and
accelerated the construction progress.
This meant, for example, that the TRIO
with CB 240 wall formwork system
could be used extremely versatile:
for forming the core walls as well as
constructing the shear walls. In addi-
tion, MULTIFLEX and PD 8 slabs tables
ensured that formworking was carried
out very efciently.

VARIO GT 24 girder formwork system
for thewalls and columns. It is a fast,
easy to use system that adapts to any
required wall shape or height. One of
the main advantages for this system is
the exibility in use, by pre-assembled
panels tting exact design require-
ments.
In order to meet the slab heights up
to 4.97 m, PERI offered MULTIFLEX
system with GT 24 and VT 20 gird-
ers and a tailor-made slab and beam
support solution, with a combination of
MULTIPROPs and PD 8 towers. As a
result the client got an adaptable slab
formwork, with individual system com-
ponents consisting of props, tripods,
crossheads, PD 8 towers, primary and
secondary girders.

Occupying the built-up area of the pro-
ject approximately 5.1 million square
metres, Etihad Tower project is a pres-
tigious mixed-use development com-
posed of ve towers, a large multi-level
podium and a four level underground
parking for more than 3,000 cars.
With the use of PERI system on site,
inclusive of PD 8 for supporting and
concreting PT beams in the podium
area, it was easy and safe to erect
despite the heavy and high structure.
PERIs climbing formwork was used
for concreting corewalls from B4 to
P5 in Towers 1, 2, 3. This created a
cost-effective solution for the client,
in comparison to the hydraulic sys-
tem. Additionally, as safety on site is
and has been a main concern in such
heights, the unobstructed platform
made the work for labor and staff safe
and fast. For all typical oors in the
towers UNIPORTAL table form has
been used: it was customized for each
towers shape which made it ideal for
the high-rise building.

projects in the Middle East.
Eng. Mohamad Al-Zouman,
Deputy General Manager:
Four Points Sheraton Expansion
is a very challenging project and
due to PERIs help these challenges
were simplied. The working space
in the project area was very nar-
row and the distance between our
wall and neighboring site was only
40 cm. But with PERIs ACS P with
Gallow system, it allowed us to lift
the panels from the top without any
side support - and this was exactly
what we needed considering the
narrow space. In my opinion, with-
out PERI ACS P this scope of work
would have been impossible.
As one of the biggest hospital in gulf
area, Jaber al Ahmad Hospital is located
in South Surra Area. A seven oors main
building with an area of 47,000m, sur-
rounded by 5 towers of 14 oor height
with a oor area of 4,500 m per tower,
a multi storey car park on the outer peri-
meter. The hospital is 1,168 beds with
total built up area of 270,000 m. The
hospital provides a comprehensive range
of medical services comprising diag-
nostic and treatment services, trauma
center and casualty services, outpatient
services, dental services, obstetrics and
gynecology services, inpatient care ser-
vices, VIP suites for the visiting heads
of states and another waiting wing for
VIP suites.
Five years of construction requires
easy and quick formwork solutions.
PERI TRIO panels formwork for cores
and internal walls, VARIO formwork for
peripheral curved walls, table formwork
for slabs and TRIO and LICO systems
for columns.
Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Al-Sabah hos-
pital is targeted to be the largest, stand
alone hospital building in terms of beds
and facilities. Impressive achievements
have been accomplished, while building
the Jaber Hospital, with estimated time
of completion within the next two years
despite its tremendous size.
areas. Thus, the Hotel provides useful
business conveniences to accommo-
date both, business and leisure needs.
A combination of different types of
wall formworks with climbing systems
is used to achieve the construction
requirements, showing also exibility
and high productivity. VARIO has been
used for core and efcient straight
walls. PERI RCS for the walls on the
slab edge and for the shaft and gallows
of the walls ACS P has been provided.

Safety especially in great heights
is important for better productivity

The cantilevered SLT main beams of SKYDECK
provide a convenient working space of 1.30 m.
Extended slab edges at sloping structures can be
constructed with SKYDECK and MULTIPROP due
to the high load-bearing capacity of both aluminium
systems.

Khaled Katma,
Senior Construction Manager:
PERI systems are durable and
exible. The light-weight SKYDECK
panels mean minimum engage-
ment of the tower crane and easy
usage for the workers. It is very
easy when MULTIPROP towers at
double height are used. We are
very pleased with the level of
service and technical support
provided to the site.
The King Abdullah Financial District
is designed as a state-of-the-art and
fully self-contained development for
doing business and facilitating invest-
ment and enterprise in the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia and, in due course, in the
wider Middle East region. This project
is located in the heart of the KAFD
and required high safety at each level.
The two irregular shaped core walls
climbed ahead by using a combination
of ACS and RCS, both self-climbing
systems with high standards of safety,
which was a key factor for the achieved
3 to 4 days cycle. VARIO GT 24 wall
formwork was the versatile solution
for the cores as well as the retain-
ing wall. The SKYDECK light-weight
slab formwork in conjunction with the
MULTIPROP MP 480 and MP 250 is
used for the typical oors but also for
the assembly of towers by the means
of MRK frames. Supporting heights
of up to 20 m were safely designed
and built. The site team achieved an
outstanding safety record by adapt-
ing the benets of all PERI systems.

Site Manager:
I am extremely satised
with PERI they provide us
with a large product range,
construction-compliant
solutions and competent
on site and after sales
service.
Binu Thomas,
Site in Charge:
By utilizing PERI systems
such as LICO for columns,
VARIO for lift and retain-
ing walls, we experienced
great benets and profes-
sional solutions for our
sites. With PERI formwork
we reduced manpower,
wastages on site and were
impressed by the easy
handling of their systems.
In future projects we de-
nitely will continue to use
PERI.
The concrete structure that
forms the 70 m tower con-
sists of an outer perimeter
wall and an inner lift shaft core
of approximately 50 m.
This was constructed using
a traditional PERI climbing
system around the outside
perimeter, with the gravity BR
platform used to great effect
between the outer and inner
core and the centre of the lift
shaft. This provided a very
safe and effective platform for
all activities and ensured mini-
mum work to lift and adjust
for the next pour.
The top 20 m of the four cor-
ner wall, was completed with
the traditional PERI climbing
system.
work included modica-
tion of the facades to be
compatible with the new
building. PERI LICO, the
light-weight column form-
work, for cost-effective
forming without a crane,
was chosen due to low
individual weights of the
elements, which allow as-
sembly and dismantling by
hand. This means that the
formwork crew is still in a
position to effectively use
the newly gained crane avail-
ability in a productive way.
