One Chicago Square, Chicago (IL), USA

Hitting the heights safely: Vitreous elegance for Chicago’s skyline

These two tapered glass towers are a real head-turner in the heart of Chicago. The 296 m high Tower A is the sixth tallest building in the city and houses 276 rental units and 77 freehold flats across 74 floors. A central podium connects it to the 175 m high Tower C, which, like its taller brother, has a viewing platform. Altogether, the high-rises cover a surface area of over 200,000 m².

“The project had an aggressive schedule requiring all four phases of the project to be constructed simultaneously [...]. The construction sequence required a complicated core formwork solution that started in a forty-foot-deep earth retention system, various crane lifted walls and a complete perimeter of windscreens on both towers. McHugh Construction selected PERI to supply and engineer the formwork that was instrumental in completing the project efficiently and ahead of schedule.”

TrIIIple, Vienna, Austria

Minimised shuttering times through digital monitoring of concrete strength

With its usable floor space of around 70,000 m2, the TrIIIple is writing a new chapter in Viennese residential history. An impressive ensemble of three high-rise buildings was built on the banks of the Danube Canal between the city centre and the Grüner Prater recreation area. In addition to privately financed flats, the three buildings also feature micro-apartments for students and young professionals.

TrIIIple, Vienna, Austria
“The tried and tested PERI systems, the overall solution and the technical planning service were the most suitable and cost-effective solution for the TrIIIple project. This made it possible to shorten the construction time by quite a bit. The professional approach to the planning and execution of the site and the cooperation with the PERI team was excellent despite the numerous challenges, such as just-in-time delivery and the tight spatial conditions.”

South Quay Plaza 4, London, UK

Complex core geometry on a 6-day cycle

The South Quay Plaza 4 project represents the second phase of construction of the South Quay Plaza residential development in London’s Canary Wharf financial district. At 56-storeys high, the new skyscraper will offer space for around 400 residential units when completed. Due to the excellent cooperation during the construction of the first high-rise in 2018, PERI systems were also used for the construction of the second building. For a high degree of cost-effectiveness, PERI engineers – wherever possible – incorporated the existing materials from the first construction phase into the second solution.

“For the planning and briefings, we used the digital 3D model from PERI. The result was great, as it allowed us to capture the detail and lifecycle of the PERI climbing formwork from erection to operation to the dismantling stage. The team at PERI were proactive in meeting our needs with engineered safety at the forefront of their solutions."

Tour Mirabeau, Marseille, France

Swift construction progress despite high wind loads and limited space

One of the tallest office buildings in the city was built directly on the Marseille coast. The 85 m high building has 21 floors of state-of-the-art, energy- efficient office space with views of the sea and the neighbouring city. PERI supported the three-year project by supplying a wide range of systems.

“The technically complex Tour Mirabeau was constructed in an environment that was difficult to access. The proximity, responsiveness and expertise of the PERI engineering team enabled us to carry out the work without any issues – and using the systems that were best suited to the task. By using PERI systems, all safety aspects could be complied with and swift construction progress achieved.”

Y-Towers, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Working safely on an iconic towers despite wind and height challenges

The construction of the Y-Towers has seen the arrival of a new residential and hotel complex in the modern residential district of Overhoeks, which is located on the banks of the river IJ in the centre of Amsterdam. As part of the iconic skyline, the two buildings, 102 m and 110 m high, not only add aesthetic value but also offer numerous leisure opportunities for visitors.

Y-Towers, Amsterdam, Netherlands
PERI made its mark with system-integrated safety solutions for the complex construction of the Y-Towers in Amsterdam. The building core of both towers was constructed with the help of an economical PERI system combination. Enormous wind loads were a particular challenge here, which is why both towers were equipped with a PERI climbing protection panel. This allowed safe working at great heights and minimized the risk of falling parts. In addition, the PERI self-climbing system allowed the concrete distributors to be easily moved upwards - without the use of a crane.

“For this large and complex project in the centre of Amsterdam, we decided to work with the leading supplier in the formwork industry: PERI. We knew PERI from projects in Italy and were familiar with the construction systems and working methods. In a project of this magnitude, it is important that the material is always available at short notice. Because PERI has a stockyard nearby with an enormous range of different construction systems, we were not short of anything. PERI is a reliable partner for us in such complex projects.”

The JACX, New York, USA

Two floors per week

The JACX consists of a five-story base building centered on a 10, 000 m² park. The park is enclosed by two nearly identical towers. When completed, these provide each approximately 570,000 m² of usable space in Long Island City.

"Without PERI, we would not have been able to meet our schedule of two floors per week. The independence of the formwork systems minimized the need for the site's only crane. The size and quality of the concreting sections achieved exceeded our expectations."

Salesforce Tower, Chicago (IL), USA

Versatile formwork solution for demanding spatial conditions

Salesforce Tower Chicago is the final building to be completed at Wolf Point Plaza, a three-phase project in the heart of the city centre. The 58-storey building towers over the city from its unique location on the banks of the Chicago River and offers ample space for offices and retail outlets. The project team had to deal with the challenges of limited access to and from the site on the main road, as well as cramped conditions.

CoolTower, Rotterdam, Netherlands

Rapid construction progress thanks to PERI climbing solutions

The new 150 m tall residential building CoolTower has been built in the middle of Rotterdam’s lively city centre, between the Witte de Withstraat, the Schiedamsedijk and the Vasteland. With its striking crown as an eye-catcher, it blends into the Rotterdam skyline – and offers space for an impressive entrance area and 283 high-quality flats on 50 floors. The attractive residential project was carried out with an optimally coordinated combination of PERI formwork and scaffolding materials.

“When building the CoolTower, the unique design presented us with challenges that required sophisticated solutions. For this reason, we decided on the know-how and experience of PERI. [...] The flexibility and variety of the systems played just as much a role as PERI’s engineering expertise and solution- oriented thinking, especially with the tight schedule and unique facade."
