Tua River Bridge in front of the Foz Tua Dam
media credits (ID:316886)
PERI supplied a project-specific formwork and scaffolding solution and supported with comprehensive engineering services for the construction of the 108-m-high complex dam on the River Tua in Portugal.

With the SCS Climbing System the loads from the fresh concrete pressure are transferred through the bracket into the climbing anchor of the previous concreting step. The horizontal alignment of the working platforms on the PERI SCS system ensure the highest working safety when used in inclined situations.

An extremely complex formwork and falsework design is required for the dam's overflow system. PERI's engineers devised a concept based on the system components of the VARIOKIT Engineering Construction Kit, the SB Brace Frame and various falsework elements. The solution was especially cost-effective as all these components are available in the PERI rental park

The PERI UP Modular Scaffold is being used for diverse falsework and working scaffold tasks and for access solutions. The advantages of the PERI UP Stairs with installation heights of up to 55 m include fast and secure accessibility to working areas.

For the tunnels of the hydraulic circuit PERI's engineers planned and supplied a project-specific steel formwork carriage solution for the varying cross sections from 5.50 m to 7.50 m

One of the biggest challenges is to stick to the construction phase and cost plan. For this reason, work also continued through the night on this complex project of immense proportions.
