Due to the extremely limited storage possibilities, all materials must be directly delivered to the place of use and each delivery has to be accurately scheduled.  Also with last-minute changes, PERI always delivers quickly - up to ten truck loads per day. Particularly noteworthy is also the competent and fast problem-solving by phone for urgent questions as well as in the form of new drawings due to plan changes.  We are very satisfied with the cooperation.

PERI solution

Competent engineering and logistical services with 16,500 m² of table modules, 21,500 m² TRIO and 23,500 slab props. Large-sized slab tables and SKYDECK were used for the slabs, supplemented by MULTIFLEX girder slab formwork and edge slab tables with integrated guardrails. A detailed shoring concept based on PERI UP Rosett provided temporary load transfer from up to three storeys.
