MobileLifeCampus, Wolfsburg, Germany



Short construction time
with PERI formwork systems

Over 600 tonnes of formwork in use at the same time

With the construction of the Auto University at Hageberg in Wolfsburg, Volkswagen AG will have its own centre of expertise with the central campus consisting of three faculties – Humanities, Economics and Technology – the aim being to combine scientific know-how with business practice. This is embedded in the overall concept, appropriately named “AutoVision”, for bolstering the economic strength of the Wolfsburg region. Investor, owner and operator of the so-called MobileLifeCampus is Wolfsburg AG with Volkswagen Immobilien as general contractor in charge of project management.

The first construction phase for the planned five main buildings comprises a utilizable area of over 18,000 square meters. The basic structure of the four-storey building resembles a folded ribbon featuring alternate closed and opened surfaces. The 50 million euro structure was designed by the renowned architect, Prof. Gunter Henn, and is scheduled for completion at the end of 2005.

  • Short construction time
    Wolff & Mueller GmbH & Co.KG were awarded the contract to realize this ambitious project. Due to the tight time schedule, only seven months (November 2004 to June 2005) was planned for the building´s shell with a total of 25,000 square metres of floor space. The Weissenhorn-based formwork and scaffolding manufacturer, PERI, supplied the required formwork solutions. PERI SKYDECK with integrated drop head system was used primarily to ensure fast striking. Depending on the slab thickness and the concrete strength, the formwork can be struck after only one day. Material utilization is accelerated and on-site material requirements are reduced.
    PERI service capability
    Based on the intended construction sequence, over 6,000 square metres of the lightweight aluminium slab formwork was ordered and kept on site. Re-shoring had to be carried out across all four floors as the pre-stressed flat slabs required support over a longer period of time.

    At the same time, up to 6,100 SKYDECK panels, 2,500 SKYDECK main beams and over 8,000 MULTIPROP post shores in all lengths between 1,20 m and 6.25 m were in use. For the easier and safer striking, the ASW stripping cart was used. In addition, 13,000 metres of formwork girders, primarily GT 24, were delivered to the building site.

    Additional PERI systems – HD 200 heavy-duty props, TRIO Structure, SRS circular column formwork, UZ beam formwork along with AW slab stopend brackets – accelerated construction work progress. Altogether, over 640 tonnes of formwork was supplied which was yet more proof of the service performance offered by the PERI rental facility.

    PERI engineers provided comprehensive formwork planning which ensured optimal use of the system equipment and rational operational sequences. To meet architectural concrete requirements, they closely cooperated with the architect in developing appropriate slab underside plans. SKYDECK panels could therefore be used as design elements to the best effect.

    Even when changes to operating sequences had to made at short notice on the construction site, the PERI crew always reacted quickly to implement the necessary technical modifications including the delivery.
    Positive on-site response
    The contractors particularly emphasized the good co-operation and the simple implementation of the formwork plans. The lightweight individual components of the proven PERI SKYDECK panel slab formwork accelerated the construction progress as well as the simple handling of the MULTIPROP aluminium post shores. Extremely efficient logistical procedures with components in customised pallets ensured that the formwork process was even faster as orderliness was of key importance on the construction site and only few crane lifts were necessary.

    In spite of the massive beams and complex edge areas, a complete storey could be finished in only four weeks. PERI always managed to supply the contractors within the shortest possible time with the optimal formwork equipment. The building management could rely on a reliable and efficient partner at all times.
