 To Our Valued Clients and
Prospective Clients
In this edition of PERI scope
we profile 17 current projects
that illustrate PERI’s wide
range of formwork, shoring
and scaffolding systems.
Contractors in today’s chal-
lenging construction market
are faced with increased
competition and intense price
pressure which require the
most labor efficient and cost
effective equipment solu-
tions for their jobsites. PERI
offers the largest product
portfolio in the industry
which insures our clients are
getting the optimal solution
for each aspect of every
project.
But equipment is only part of
what PERI provides. We rec-
ognize that we are as much,
if not more so, a service
provider than an equipment
supplier and for our custom-
ers to reap the full benefit of
our products it must be pro-
vided with the best service in
the industry.
PERI’s Sales Engineers are

BEAMDECK on MULTIPROPs
Unbeatable Combination for Tall Story Heights
Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ

The new Interdisciplinary

Science and Technology
Building at Arizona State
University consists of seven
levels of 12” and 16” thick
flat slabs with story heights
of 21’, 23’ and 14’ for the
1st, 2nd and typical floors,
respectively. After evaluating
all the available grid beam
formwork systems, Sundt
Construction purchased
BEAMDECK and MULTI-
PROP shores for the project.
MP 480 shores were used
on the typical floors and
MP 625s for the taller floors.
Only MULTIPROPs have the
ability to form story heights
up to 23’ with single post
shores which was a critical
factor in Sundt’s decision go
with PERI. BEAMDECK also
allowed the contractor to se-
lect the appropriate plywood
to achieve the required finish
on the exposed slabs.

David Steel,
Project Manager:
“We already knew PERI had
the best system before the
project which is why we
purchased the BEAMDECK.
We love how easy it is to
make onsite adjustments
for a first time user. My
crew also appreciates not
needing to stack shoring
for the 21’ and 23’ high

PERI’s solution employed PERI UP
Rosett shoring with GT 24 girders to
form the soffit of the cast-in-place

GARAGEDECK System is the Right Solution

for Complex Beam and Slab Parking Garage
Amway Center Parking Garage, Orlando, FL

The recently completed GEICO Garage
adjacent to the new Amway Center in
Orlando is anything but a typical parking
garage. Each floor of the eight level
structure features a speed ramp for
direct access to street level to allow pa-
trons to exit rapidly after the end of an
event at the arena. For the construction,
this means that each ramp is unique
with shoring heights up to 20’ and not
simply repetitive ramps as on a typi-
cal garage. Other challenges include
30,000 ft² of 20’ shoring height on
the 3rd floor and 4,500 ft² of 38’ to
48’ shoring above an adjacent pond
for the 4th and 5th levels.
PCL Construction Services chose PERI
to provide a comprehensive formwork
package for this challenging project.

 Combination of Systems Efficiently Form Slabs
PERI UP Stair Tower for Safe Access on Construction Site
University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ

A combination of BEAMDECK and UNIPORTAL perimeter flying tables provide an efficient and safe solu-
tion for the project‘s elevated slabs.

For the construction of eight new dormi­-
tories at the University of Arizona, PERI
provided Concrete Structures a combi-
nation of BEAMDECK and UNIPORTAL
shoring systems for the irregular shaped
8’ flat slab structures. To achieve a
three-day cycle for each 6,000 ft² pour,
the perimeter of the 11’ high decks
are formed using the UNIPORTAL
tables while the interior of the slabs
are formed with the BEAMDECK grid
beam system. This combination of
shoring systems provides the contractor
with excellent perimeter safety, high
productivity and eliminates almost all
filler areas. Both systems allow the con-
tractor to use their choice of plywood
sheathing to achieve the required finish
on the exposed ceilings.
PERI also supplied two PERI UP stair
towers to access the six story struc-
tures during construction. The 39” (1 m)
wide treads provided ample room for
workers to safely carry material and
tools or to pass one another which is
not feasible with conventional scaffold
stairs.

MULTIFLEX shoring with single MULTIPROP for

story heights up to 18‘ and MULTIPROP towers for
taller applications.

Shoring of the non-typical levels varied in height from 18‘ to over 30‘.

Mark Curlee, Project Superintendent:

“This system has afforded us a a third reduction in our
labor cost due to its fast assembly, low small-parts count,
versatility and its ability to be flown into place or hand-
set. The low small-parts count and simple configuration
and assembly allow faster and more accurate pre-pour
inspections.”

Southern Pan Services ordered
MULTIFLEX shoring for all the non-typ-
ical levels on the 50 story Devon World
Headquarters Tower building. With story
heights that ranged from 18’ to over
30’ and beams that varied from 16” to
114” they needed to have one shoring
system that was able accommodate all
applications. When SPS reviewed their
options for this project the need for fast
erection, flexible reshoring with single
posts wherever possible, and a reliable
partner with proven shoring design ex-
pertise the logical choice was PERI.

MULTIPROP post shores can be com-
bined with frames to erect shoring tow-
ers. The MULTIPROP frame, available in
14 different lengths from 62.5 cm (2’-0”)
to 2.96 m (9’-6”), allows for proper
tower size and spacing for individual
job site requirements. By means of the
captive wedge, the MULTIPROP frame
can be attached to either the outer or
inner tubes of the MULTIPROP shore.
The frames are also used as support
for planks or decking for working areas.
Advantages:
 High load-bearing capacity
 High degree of adaptability
 Fast and safe assembly
