PERI – for every complex need


Considering that the Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar was a highly prestigious project that was being monitored by none other than the Prime Minister’s office, Shapoorji Pallonji & Co. Ltd. sought the help of PERI (India) Pvt. Ltd. for the formwork solution of the iconic project.

Rapid urbanization has resulted in the growth of high rise structures. And, such modern constructions demand technologies which are faster, safe and innovative.
For nearly 50 years, PERI products and systems have successfully proven themselves globally. The company has developed ground-breaking formwork and scaffolding technologies which continue to set standards in the industry.
Climbing system is one such example of innovation in formwork technology. Climbing systems are used for the construction of verticals well as inclined structural elements at great heights, e.g. high-rise building walls, bridge piers and dams.
In addition to simple scaffold platforms, there are other different climbing systems whereby brackets, platforms and formwork are connected to form securely mounted units. These climbing units can be lifted as one unit to the next concreting section after striking has taken place.
With the crane-climbed formwork, units are moved by crane and attached to climbing anchors which have been concreted in advance. If a hydraulic climbing device lifts the units to the next storey, then this is called self-climbing formwork.
For this crane-independent variant, the climbing unit is guided mostly by means of rails while dedicated climbing shoes provide safe and secure anchorage on the building. Apart from systems with integrated hydraulics, rail-climbed systems are also available which operate using mobile self-climbing devices.
For different building shapes and tasks, optimized system variants have also been developed: climbing systems for facade areas, building cores and shafts as well as inclined bridge pylons. Climbing protection panels, which serve as a wind shield and anti-fall protection, complete the product portfolio for ensuring safe and comfortable working conditions at great heights.
Climbing SCS serves as a load-bearing structure for supporting single-sided, non-tied or double-sided, anchored wall formwork. For single-sided applications, the loads from the fresh concrete pressure are transferred – without formwork ties – through the brackets into the climbing anchors of the previous concreting section. The SCS Climbing System is characterized by a high level of cost-effectiveness modular concept with multi-piece brackets facilitating optimum adaptation to suit project-specific requirements and geometries.

Mahatma Mandir – Epitome of PERI formwork engineering
With 10 years of existence in India, PERI India has executed large number of iconic projects. One such iconic project is Mahatma Mandir, where epitome of PERI formwork engineering excellence was demonstrated.
The Mahatma Mandir is a convention centre and a memorial located at Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. The design of the Mahatma Mandir Convention-cum-Exhibition Centre has been inspired from – and reflects – the life and philosophy of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. It reflects the prosperity of Gujarat.
Spread across 34 acres, it is also one of the biggest convention centres in the country. It was built by one of the reputed construction companies in the country – the Shapoorji Pallonji and Company Limited – in two phases.
Phase I of Mahatma Mandir construction included a convention centre, three big exhibition halls and small halls having conferencing facility. Phase II included construction of salt mound memorial, a garden, a suspension bridge, wind mills and development of parking space. The planning and design is environment friendly.
A memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi was one of the highlights of the project. A suspension bridge has been built in memory of the famous Dandi March. A concrete dome structure has been constructed representing a salt mound, and houses a museum, library and research centre. The suspension bridge was constructed to connect the memorial with the exhibition area.
It was the first such challenging Bridge Pylon project for PERI India due to its sloped profile. PERI India, being the world leader in climbing system technology, was preferred as formwork solution partner to execute this iconic project.
PERI SCS Climbing System has been used for inclined pylons, which are inclined at 15 degrees. Due to large size of pylons, through ties are not possible and SCS System is effectively used to take entire load from each pour and safely transfer it to the existing structure.
With the SCS 250, the formwork can be retracted up to 62cm by means of the carriage without a crane. This facilitates concrete reinforcement work, assembly of the climbing anchors, and setting as well as striking of box-outs.
The project was completed with best-in-class engineering and execution. The entire project was directly monitored by none other than the Prime minister’s office and efforts and expertise of PERI system was well appreciated.

“In 2017, PERI India celebrated their 10th Anniversary. It has been a successful journey with our continuous endeavour to build a strong customer relationship by offering distinct solutions for every construction need.
Innovation supported by adequate R&D has been a key driver for our growth. PERI India has been growing its footprints in high rise and infrastructure sector in India. With landmark projects, such as the Mahatma Mandir, Statue of Unity, Agra-Lucknow Expressway, and the Hyderabad Metro to name a few, using our state-of-art formwork and scaffolding system, we have proven our mettle in delivering customized solutions for every complex need in a cost-effective manner.”


Customer Speak: NileshBhagat, Head – Methods and Planning, Shapoorji Pallonji & Co. Ltd

“PERI Formwork for this unique project was very intelligently designed and technically supported throughout, so that execution went on safe and smoother. It was a single-sided system; so, tie rods were not required and we could have an enhanced quality of concrete finish. System was flexible and provided ease of handling and was also very cost-effective.”

Framework for the future

The GMS Grande Palladium project in Mumbai is a critical commentary on some of the antiquated notions that have plagued contemporary commercial design in the subcontinent.

Rapid urbanization and redevelopment has led to a blanket erasure of any identifiable architectural character in Mumbai, barring a few. The site for the GMS Grande Palladium is in close proximity t   READ MORE...
