The Project
Impressions from the project process
The outside of the building resembles a medieval fortress. The facade is comprised of window openings as well as pre-determined regular tie points and horizontal pilaster strips.
In spite of the very tight schedule, the PERI formwork solution ensured that the complicated geometry of the three inclined towers could be realized extremely accurately.
Working platforms with table modules and MULTIPROP towers extended upwards parallel with construction progress. This meant that accurate and safe forming could be carried out at all heights.
The three inclined reinforced concrete towers have different floor plan cross-sections with a number of radii transitions.
At the PERI assembly hall, the 3D formwork elements were accurately assembled. The extremely high dimensional accuracy meant valuable time could be saved during forming.
The suspension points for the KG 180 working platforms were integrated into the tie points. Additional unsightly features in the finished concrete surface were thus avoided.
Extremely attractive facade design with neatly arranged joint and tie pattern along with distinctive window recesses featuring angled reveals and horizontal pilaster strips.
Perfect concrete surfaces on an extraordinary building.

We received a perfect solution for the inclined tower right from the very first use. Delivery was on time and the formwork elements were accurate down to a millimetre. Thus, we are on schedule and are achieving a maximum of form precision and surface result.
