Pegasus Sculpture
Hallandale Beach, FL,
United States
- Realisation of a 33 m high and 60 m long Pegasus bronze sculpture
- Processing and shaping of 250 t bronze and 400 t steel in a 2-year construction period
- Sculpture created using 1,250 individual bronze pieces, each approx. 3 m² in size and weighing 200 kg, which were joined together around a steel construction like a 3D puzzle

The Project
Impressions from the project process
The 33 m high and 60 m long sculpture ensemble, featuring Pegasus and a dragon, was realised in a larger than life size. With the help of the PERI UP solution, more than 1,000 bronze castings could be assembled and welded on site.
The PERI UP Rosett Flex modular scaffold system provided safe working conditions for the craftsmen and metal designers during the realisation of the 33 m high bronze work of art.
PERI UP was flexibly adapted to suit the organic shape of the bronze sculpture in 25 cm increments and thus provided optimum conditions for all necessary operational steps: adjustment, welding, processing, chasing and patinating.
Cost-effective system combination: VARIOKIT system components supplemented the PERI UP scaffold solution in particular for the large-span bridging.

PERI successfully provided the solution for this highly complex task. In the course of the entire project, it was possible for us to react and deal with new situations almost daily using PERI UP.
