On the New Central Library project the pace of our programme and build methodology has been greatly enhanced by the usage of the PERI STR100 propping. This is also combined with fantastic and efficient service from the Christchurch PERI team.

PERI solution

  • Using STR 100 propping system extensively in supporting the flooring systems and adapting to the various in-situ section in a challenging building.
  • STR 100 towers being rosett based, were able to have access platform built right off them saving on equipment
  • Using PERI-UP Flex for some tight access requirements on site. 
  • Southern Lakes Scaffoldings expertise in propping allowed them to solve design problems on the fly using STR 100.
