PERI will showcase its state-of-the-art formwork and scaffolding products at the Middle East Concrete (MEC) 2011, where professionals will be provided with a wealth of information about its new and proven systems at its 72-sq-m stand.

As one of the leading formwork and scaffolding suppliers in the Middle East with offices throughout the entire Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region, Peri will exhibit proven system equipment, solid product enhancements and numerous new developments.

Visitors to The Big 5 show can have in-depth discussions with the company’s team of experts, tour the exhibited products, view its latest documentation and witness live product demonstrations highlighting the advantages of the Peri products.

“With an interactive live demonstration and product experts from Germany, Peri will demonstrate how easy it is to erect Peri Skydeck, the lightweight aluminium panel slab formwork for faster assembly,” says a spokesman for the company. “Equipped with a drophead, early striking is possible after only one day (depending on the slab thickness and concrete strength). On-site material requirements can be reduced as the beams and panels are then available for the next concreting cycle.”

Skydeck is made of aluminium, and no component weighs more than 15 kg. The low-weight individual components enable easy and tireless erection and striking, he says. The Skydeck main beam reduces the number of props needed – only 0.29 props per sq m of slab are required. This saves time and offers more workspace while simplifying the transportation of formwork materials across the site.

To be introduced at MEC 2011 is the type-tested Peri Up Rosett Flex modular scaffolding system. “Utilised for industrial, petrochemical as well as oil and gas projects, the system fulfils the requirements for these particularly challenging projects,” says the spokesman. “It offers maximum flexibility in scaffolding construction.”

Peri Up Rosett Flex has integrated safety features, which allows the same components to be used as shoring, stair towers, suspended scaffold, reinforcement scaffold or working platforms. This results in reduction of on-site material requirements and increased material utilisation rates.

“The industrial decks are self-securing and can be mounted at any position within the scaffold on standard ledgers. The main components of Peri Up Rosett Flex, such as standards, ledgers and decks, have a uniform length and width grid arrangement of 25 cm or 50 cm. Therefore, the system can be adapted to suit almost any geometrical form,” explains the spokesman.

“Peri Up Rosett Flex can be erected quickly and efficiently. It is extremely versatile and fulfils the highest levels of safety requirements. With this system, only a few components are required to economically carry out an extremely diverse range of on-site scaffolding operations. The multi-functional system saves assembly time, thus, construction progress will be accelerated and building costs will clearly be reduced,” he adds.

Peri has been represented for many years in the Middle East, and has provided cost­effective and efficient formwork and scaffolding solutions for numerous major projects in the region. These include the Emirates Towers in Dubai and the Saadiyat Bridge in Abu Dhabi.

Peri, however, provides far more than just intelligently­designed system equipment. The company’s wide range of activities also includes various technical, commercial and logistical services, which support customers in ensuring cost-­effective and safe completion of their projects.

In all its activities, Peri also makes a valuable contribution to sustainability. “Many aspects of the company’s business operations demonstrate economic and environmental thinking and action,” the spokesman explains. “For example, product development aims to achieve the best possible material utilisation and thus reduce the amount of materials actually required. The system equipment stands out through high utilisation rates and a long service life. Procurement at Peri is also carried out in accordance with ecological sustainability. For instance, timber is used from certified growing regions as far as possible.

“The economically-optimised formwork and scaffolding solutions minimise material utilisation on the construction site and contribute to waste avoidance.”

Completely in keeping with the main focus on sustainability at this year’s fair, Peri will be providing detailed information on this important topic at its stand. The company will be exhibiting in Saeed Hall at The Big 5 show.
