Tunnel Limerick, Ireland

Tunnel Limerick, Ireland - Tunnel formwork carriage on the basis of the VARIOKIT civil engineering construction kit for the six additional concreting sections at the southern portal carried out parallel to the construction of the main tunnel elements.
Tunnel Limerick, Ireland - Five tunnel elements - each 100 m long – were pre-fabricated in the dry dock with help of the PERI tunnel formwork carriage.
Tunnel Limerick, Ireland - PERI engineers developed two customized special carriages which allowed the construction of the 28 concreting sections, each 20 m long, in regular six-day cycles.
Tunnel Limerick, Ireland - The PERI formwork solution took into consideration two different sealing versions for the element and casting joints in the stopend formwork.

PERI offered us the best technical design and the most cost-effective solution. What we were able to achieve with the formwork carriage was more than satisfying. This helped us to pour the segments in a weekly cycle. What qualifies our formwork partner even more is the fact that the technical support was always able to provide us with the right solution in case of questions of detail.
