PERI ACS and RCS ideally combined
The office and residential highrise at the Persian Gulf stretches 250 m and 60 storeys into the sky. Both in the ground plan as well as throughout all storeys, its façade is characterised by an extra-ordinary, all-side winding form. The 39th floor, for example, protrudes more than 5 m over the 13th floor. In order to be able to safely and economically create these geometries, PERI ACS and RCS self-climbing systems were combined in an ideal way.
During their planning for the reinforced concrete core, the PERI design engineers took into consideration that two placing booms had to climb together with the ACS platforms and that two construction site cranes had to be modified inside the core. In order to achieve this, three ACS variants together with the VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork and the TRIO panel formwork formed craneindependent climbing units.
Two storeys subsequent, the production of the floor slabs took place – with the help of the SKYDECK panelised slab formwork under the protection of the RCS climbing protection panel. Here the RCS units climb with a forward or backward inclination of up to 7° with the help of mobile self-climbing devices. RCS climbing shoes attached in a Cantilevered position balanced the different storey offsets.
