WEISSENHORN, Germany — PERI recently provided a comprehensive overall concept for the construction of a new cable-stayed bridge across the Ohio River. The almost 90-meter-high pylons for the new bridge are characterized by their complex shapes and massive legs and cross beams.
PERI’s planning solution consisted of perfectly matched formwork, climbing, shoring and scaffolding systems along with extensive onsite support. A number of formwork and scaffolding systems from the extensive PERI rental pool were used: the variable VARIO GT 24 Girder Wall Formwork; a combination of ACS, RCS and SCS SelfClimbing Formwork; heavyduty shoring on the basis of the VARIOKIT Engineering Construction Kit; and PERI UP Scaffolding were combined to create a complete solution that ensured fast-cycle sequences, high loadbearing capacities and a maximum level of safety during all stages of construction.
