In weekly cycles: apartment walls and slabs in fair-faced concrete quality
GRIDFLEX, the aluminium grid slab formwork system from PERI, once again showed its numerous advantages during its initial use in Brazil. Within a very short period of time, it has been possible to construct the floor slabs of the MaxHaus Morumbi residential complex with even, ready to-be-painted ceiling surfaces.
Modern living in a rectangular form
In São Paulo´s Morumbi district, 128 modern apartments are currently being constructed, spread across four residential buildings each with eight floors. Four apartments, each with 70 square metres of floor space, form one storey. The rectangular, 16 by 19-metre reinforced concrete slabs are arranged around the central core of the structure complete with stairwell and elevator shaft. For the walls and ceilings, architectural concrete quality is required.
Weekly cycles with material requirements reduced by half
The formwork concept from the Brazilian PERI engineers for the core and external walls consists of VARIO girder wall formwork which, for the upper floors, is positioned on CB climbing brackets and a BR shaft platform respectively. For the slabs - and for the very first time in Brazil - GRIDFLEX aluminium grid slab formwork is being used. System selection and management of material took place in close cooperation with the site management team in accordance with the specifications regarding concrete quality and construction schedule.
