High-rise Buildings and Towers

Hotel Mélia, La Défense, France

Hotel Mélia, La Défense, Paris, France - For the construction of the Hotel Meliá in the "La Défense" office district, PERI developed a comprehensive climbing formwork solution. This serves not only as an enclosure, which ensures the safety of the construction teams at all times, but also it supports the precast parapets during erection.
Hotel Mélia, La Défense, Paris, France - The 2,00 m high mesh barriers from the PROKIT safety system are also clad with sheeting thus creating a gap free enclosure.
Hotel Mélia, La Défense, Paris, France - The climbing rails are held in position on the parapets of the basement levels and additionally fixed to the slab.
Hotel Mélia, La Défense, Paris, France - The PERI solution also includes a landing platform that provides fast and safe transport of materials up to the next storeys.
Hotel Mélia, La Défense - For constructing the floor slabs, the GRIDFLEX slab formwork system is being used. As all components are mounted from the floor below, completely safe assembly is guaranteed.
Hotel Mélia, La Défense, Paris, France - The La Défense 2015 planning for the office district at the entrance to Paris includes a range of refurbishment projects and new buildings. Examples are the Hotel Mélia (foreground) and the Tour Majunga (in the background), whose cores are being formed with ACS self-climbing formwork.

The Hotel Meliá itself is a real technical challenge whilst the site surroundings also provide severe restrictions. The PERI climbing formwork solution, based on the RCS system, fully meets our requirements - both in terms of safety as well as use.

PERI solution

  • Project-specific solution with RCS system components
  • Four different protection panel concepts, e.g. with special slab shoes or an FTF solution as assembly support for the precast parapets
