Rock Face Stabilisation, Cara del Moro, Alicante, Spain


Perfect adaptation provides maximum safety levels



Erosion at an advanced stage on Mount Benacantil and the associated risk of falling rocks meant that extensive stabilization measures were required. For this, PERI planned and supplied a scaffold solution complete with working platforms which allowed optimal and thus safe access to all areas. An important consideration was that for scaffold bracing purposes, the cliff itself could not be used for transferring loads e.g. via rock anchors.

The PERI UP scaffolding construction had an impressive overall height of 70 m. A 35 m long and up to 6 m wide intermediate level at a height of 30 m served, on the one hand, as easy and convenient access to the rock and, on the other, as a stable platform for storing materials. Transferring the vertical and horizontal loads took place using ledger braces and corresponding scaffold widenings in a lateral direction which was supplemented by RS 1000 push-pull props taken from the PERI formwork programme.

In addition, the working platforms for the injection work nestled up against the cliff face which was to be refurbished While the sub-structure was based as far as possible on a 2.50 m x 2.50 m basic grid, PERI UP allowed here flexible 50 and 75 cm fine adjustments to the natural geometry. Particularly advantageous and safe was the fact that the UDI industrial decking continued this adaptability with completely closed surface areas.
