Project Manager
For the team it was the first time used system formwork. Compared to the use of conventional formwork we were able to save around 50% of working time. Especially the straightforward application is to be emphasised. The whole team quickly understood the system and worked with little training.
PERI solution
The simple formwork logic very quickly ensures fast working with the innovative system. Furthermore, the reduced cleaning effort results in time savings: as teh concrete does not stick to the formlining, It can be easily and quickly cleaned after every use.
