Forming of two diamond shaped 320’ high pylon towers, each made up of 2 legs Scaffolding to provide safe access at all times Internal tower leg forms Tieless crane climbing solution

For the construction of the legs, PERI has developed a solution to construct the upper leg segments of both pylon legs simultaneously using its ACS R system. The solution uses standard VARIO GT 24 Formwork with custom vertical trusses to provide a tieless formwork solution. To enable safe and flexible access to the system at all times, PERI is providing PERI UP stair case towers sitting on VARIOKIT platforms. Once onsite personnel is trained to use PERI UP, assembly and modification of the stair towers is fast and easy. The PERI team also provides engineering and design for custom steel forms and platforms for the internal tower leg forms. This solution is a crane climbing solution that is also tieless. The custom steel forms and platforms are fabricated by the contractor. A VARIOKIT solution has also been designed to provide shoring and access to the “keystone” pour when the 2 pylon legs meet. PERI also provides complete engineering and site support throughout the project, thus providing a complete “turnkey” solution for Brayman Construction.
