The PERI solution helps us to save 30 - 40 % of work effort so that we are able to work very efficiently. What is more, we only need four instead of the six cranes that were originally planned.

PERI solution

  • load transfer via existing reinforced concrete columns
  • DCS system (deflection compensating system) automatically compensates for the deflections occurring during pouring
