Catholic Church Centre, Cologne-Blumenberg, Germany
Special Type of Architectural Concrete
for Construction of New Religious Centre
The church, chapel, crypt and confessional of this extraordinarily-designed structure were to be formed from low-shrinkage concrete. The concrete, which consisted of different aggregates for the colouring, had to be poured in 13 horizontal layers without the use of ties.
The PERI proposal – a cost-efficient solution consisting completely of rental components – was based on universal steel walers U 120 and a customized steel construction for the tensioning and intermediate frames.
6 m long units were positioned in pairs after the supporting scaffold, consisting of ST 100 stacking towers, was adjusted. Construction crews were then able to keep to the planned weekly cycles.
Safe working conditions on the continuously connected ST 100 platforms increased the productivity. The high level of safety, in particular, impressed the contractors as well as the health and safety officials.

“From all the offers we received, PERI provided the best formwork proposal. Due to the use of standard components, it was the most costeffective proposal, as well.”
