High-rise Buildings and Towers

Porta Nuova Garibaldi, Italy

Porta Nuova Garibaldi, Milan, Italy - Each of the two towers has three reinforced concrete cores which were constructed with help of two PERI ACS self-climbing variants.
Porta Nuova Garibaldi, Milan, Italy - The ACS platforms not only carried the core formwork but also served for positioning the pre-cast stairs by means of an integrated trolley system.
Porta Nuova Garibaldi, Milan, Italy - PERI engineers integrated an access solution in the ACS platforms on the basis of the PERI UP Rosett modular scaffold system.
Porta Nuova Garibaldi, Milan, Italy - The RCS climbing protection panel from PERI provided complete enclosure and safety against falling for the upper floors under construction whilst the integrated RCS Lift ensured crane-independent transport of materials.
Porta Nuova Garibaldi, Milan, Italy - The enclosure with the RCS climbing protection panel provided ideal protection for site personnel.

With their most modern technology, PERI offered us the ideal solution for this extraordinary edifice. The proficient support by the PERI engineers both during the planning phase and the construction time were extremely valuable for us.

PERI solution

  • combined ACS self-climbing variation for crane-independent shuttering, striking and climbing
  • trolley system suspended at the climbing scaffold for prefabricated stairs and built-in steel units
  • time- and cost-saving transportation and anchoring of the placing boom at an ideal, central position in the building
  • access to the climbing scaffolds via suspended stair towers
  • safe, 250 m long casing with RCS of the rounded storeys under construction
  • mobile RCS self-climbing system for crane-independent climbing of the protective wall units
  • integrated RCS elevator ensured fast and crane-independent material transport
  • accurately fitting, preassembled VARIO GT 24 formwork elements
