Malt Silo, Vitry le François, France
High Levels of Safety and Top-Quality Concrete Surfaces
VARIO and CB 240 Climbing Formwork
The construction of this circular malt silo with a 35 m diameter presented the contractors with tough challenges with regards to the concrete surface quality and tight schedule. Apart from the circular outer walls and centrally-positioned, cylindrical reinforced concrete core, forming also included massive, radially-aligned beams (cast in-situ) at a height of 10 m over the top edge of the bottom slab.
Detailed planning saw the utilization of different PERI formwork systems for delivery at specific times. These supplemented the special pre-assembled elements supplied by PERI (arched VARIO sections for the shaft formwork) which ensured efficient construction progress.
The VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork could be adapted perfectly to the different casting heights and radii. CB 240 climbing scaffold was used to climb the silo walls and central shaft and, in order to comply with European safety guidelines, PERI provided the working platforms with pre-assembled decking, guardrails and access ladders.

“The detailed planning, punctual delivery of PERI materials, the dimensional accuracy of the elements, and not forgetting the choice of plywood which was successfully used over 40 times, are the main reasons for the great results we achieved on this unusual project.”
