PERI is playing a key role at the core – literally – of a new financial hub being built in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The German manufacturer’s climbing formwork is currently helping shape up the cores of a number of towers within the King Abdullah Financial District.

RMD Kwikform Middle East is supplying a complete formwork and falsework system for the construction of the bridges on Dubai’s Parallel Roads project.

DOKA’S latest generation of load-bearing towers – the Staxo 40 – is geared to meeting the challenges faced on today’s construction sites, such as tight schedules and increasing costs, says its Austria-headquartered manufacturer.

PASCHAL formwork systems from Germany have recently been used in the construction of three large water reservoirs at Rassafa near Baghdad in Iraq. The three large tanks, each with a capacity of one million litres of freshly-treated water, will serve six million people and were built at a cost of more than $200 million.

GERMAN formwork manufacturer Meva says it has developed a new concrete pressure calculation method that not only takes new concrete types into account, but also enables the contractor to safely and accurately predict the setting behaviour of all current concrete varieties.
