The Project

Impressions from the project process
The assistance provided by PERI in coordinating the design requirements, the methodology and subcontractor suggestions, was integral to the success of the project. When assembled onsite the mechanical nature of the form removed many manual handling and work at height risks, whilst the drive units allowed the unit to be propelled in a safe and timely manner, allowing further safety and program improvements.
