PRODUCT | Expansion of the Panama Canal | Project Challenges - PERI (EN)

The expansion of the Panama Canal was the largest individual order in PERI’s history. Enormous amounts of formwork and scaffolding systems have been delivered to Panama since 2011 – about 1,100 containers. Due to its dimensions and complexity, the project offered big challenges regarding knowhow, logistics and jobsite support. The cross-country cooperation of many different PERI application engineers, logistics specialists and other experts was one essential key to the project success. “In this project, we relied on PERI systems for more than 95 %. PERI did not disappoint us, they cooperated committedly and provided us with good solutions and services for smooth work progress“, Rafael Sarmiento (Site Manager Miraflores/Pacific). amount of concrete used: 6,600,000 m³ amount of steel used: 340,000 tons area to receive formwork: 2,200,000 m² 4,200 jobsite employees 70 cranes and 30 concrete pumping stations Visit our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/PERIcompany Corporate Website: https://www.peri.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PERI LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/peri Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pericorporate Twitter: https://twitter.com/PERIgroup
