Midfield Terminal Building, United Arab Emirates

Midfield Terminal Building, Abu Dhabi - The Midfield Terminal Complex is the ultimate in construction sites.
Midfield Terminal Building, Abu Dhabi - Over 6,000 PD 8 slab tables are in continuous use which is the equivalent to an area of almost 10 football pitches.
Midfield Terminal Building, Abu Dhabi - The massive beams are being constructed in one pour together with the slabs.
Midfield Terminal Building, Abu Dhabij - Moveable PD 8 slab tables form the load-bearing sub-structure along the beams; for the slabs, MULTIFLEX girder slab formwork is used.
Midfield Terminal Building, Abu Dhabi - Easy lateral transport: the PD 8 slab tables can be moved by hand by means of a transportation trolley. This reduces crane requirements quite considerably.
Midfield Terminal Building, Abu Dhabi - PD 8 is the proven shoring system for slab tables and accommodates high loads. With only two different frame heights, almost any required height can be realized.
Midfield Terminal Building, Abu Dhabi - In order to process over 1,000 m³ every day, huge numbers of personnel and material are required.
Midfield Terminal Building, Abu Dhabi - For forming the up to 12.50 m high reinforced concrete walls, VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork provides a maximum level of adaptability through the variable arrangement of lattice girders, steel walers and tie positions.
Midfield Terminal Building, Abu Dhabi - PERI is supporting the fast construction progress with over 6,000 slab tables as well as comprehensive formwork solutions, also for the walls and columns. As of 2017, up to 30 million passengers will be handled annually.
