Modular formwork VARIOKIT VBC

bridge span

Overview
The rentable balanced cantilever carriage VARIOKIT VBC is a modular solution for bridge superstructure construction using the balanced cantilever method. It combines specially developed load-bearing components with VARIOKIT core elements to create a complete supporting structure that can be supplied rapidly. The equipment is configurable to accommodate diverse bridge cross-sections, radii and longitudinal/transverse slopes.

Key features and benefits

• Fast construction cycles: enables concreting of segments up to 5.75 m long for reduced casting frequency.
• Integrated hydraulics: precise positioning and handling for dimensionally accurate results.
• Rentable modular components: load-bearing parts combined with VARIOKIT core elements for quick availability.
• Flexible adaptation: configurable for a wide range of cross-sections including box girder solutions.
• Compatibility with PERI UP: simple integration for modular working platforms and safe access to all work areas.
• Cost optimisation: system concept and project-specific engineering support economical solutions.

Applications

• Construction of bridge superstructures using the balanced cantilever method.
• Projects requiring high-capacity temporary structures and fast, dimensionally-accurate concreting.
• Sites needing integrated working platforms and access in combination with PERI UP scaffolding.
