Requirements

Using PERI’s ACS Core 400 automatic climbing system is enabling contractor Baker Concrete Construction to maintain quick cycle times without relying on the crane. The ACS Core 400 system features synchronous operation of its long-stroke, high capacity hydraulic cylinders that allows the formwork to be moved from one level to the next in a single step with no time-consuming intermediate strokes. Baker is using VARIO Formwork for walls and columns. PERI UP Shoring and VARIO and TRIO Formwork were used to construct the beam and slab at the transfer level, which is above the parking decks on levels two through eight. PERI UP Shoring also was used for the level two slab support, creating large open bays of usable space even while the shoring was being erected for a safer, faster operation than traditional high load scaffolding.
