Andreas Poller
Construction manager
The good experience we have had with the proven PERI systems in previous projects made us decide to again cooperate with PERI in this Naga Hammadi barrage project. All shuttering, reinforcement and pouring activities could be carried out from safe working platforms. This helped to achieve faster cycle sequences. Despite the given very short construction time we were able to reach a high quality standard.
PERI solution
- SKS and VARIO climbing formwork solution for main and intermediate pillars
- optimised cycle planning
- large-size moving units
