Customised system solutions for complex requirements
The “Temple of the Divine Promise” is considered as the most important ecclesiastical building of the last three centuries in Poland. The construction consists of reinforced concrete frames arranged in circle which carry a huge dome - the overall height of the church is 75 metres. The base area in the form of a Greek cross – a cross with four equally long arms.
The nave of the church has a 68 m diameter and consists of two rings of columns: the outer ring features four circular arc sections with 16 reinforced concrete columns in each case; the internal row of columns comprises 26 diagonally- arranged columns with changing cross-sections and varying inclinations These form the supporting structure for the dome and are connected with each other at a height of 59 metres. Halfway up, an allround peripheral tie beam provides the required stability. Until the inherent stability of the structure had been reached, a 20-metre high steel construction with a diameter of 33.50 m was installed by the contractor and was used to transfer the horizontal forces.
The platforms for forming operations and reinforcement work were created with PERI UP Rosett. In combination with HD 200 heavy-duty props, the modular scaffold could be used with great versatility, also as shoring for the beams and intermediate slabs at a height of 24 metres. Climbing units based on KG climbing scaffold and TRIO panel formwork were used to construct the load-bearing reinforced concrete columns of the outer ring. For forming the concrete columns of the inner ring, TRIO TRS column panels together with preassembled box-outs were employed. The temple walls were constructed using TRIO panel formwork, VARIO GT 24 girder formwork along with RUNDFLEX. Intermediate slabs were formed with the MULTIFLEX system.
“For the development of a complex building this size, an expert partner for the required formwork and scaffolding was essential. The versatility of the PERI systems guaranteed us safe and effi cient operational sequences during the construction of the concrete supporting structure - without any restrictions.”

Construction Supervisor
“The versatile PERI formwork systems along with the PERI UP Rosett shoring solution were convincing in all respects and provided maximum safety, and guaranteed the successful realization of this project with its high degree of difficulty.”
