Benefits of the system

MAXIMO
Panel Formwork with Single-Sided MX Tie Technology

Compared to conventional panel formwork, MAXIMO stands out due tothe fact that it can be installed extremely quickly by a lower number ofsite personnel. The fact that only one person is required to carry out the­single-sided tie installation process results in a reduction in costs andalso ensures that the concrete finish is harmonised.
It is fully compatible with the proven TRIO system and meets the highest requirements in terms of cost-effectiveness and quality of workmanship. All of the outstanding benefits of TRIO were retained in the development of MAXIMO. In thisway, for example, you will continue to benefit from the low number of different­panel sizes and the Alignment Coupler BFD, which is the only connecting part used.

The assembly sequence
Once-off preparation phase

Repetitive steps

Tie System MX 15(permissible load of the tie rod: 90 kN)

To prepare for the assembly sequence, position
the Wingnut MX on the primary formwork­elements and turn the eyebolt until it is secure.

6

Next, set the wall thickness on the tie using
the cotter pin and counter with the nut.
Common wall thicknesses are indicated by­markings on the tie rod.

The next step is to push the MX Tie through theclosing formwork and into the Wingnut MX of
the primary formwork and screw it in.

Benefits of the system

30 cm

approx.
3.8 cmAs an alternative to the MX Tie Technology,
you could use the conventional DW 15 or
DW 20 System.

The opening of the frame allows deviations of
the tie rod angle of up to 4°. In concrete terms
this means an inclined position of up to 3.8 cm
for a 30 panel. As a result, it is possible to install
the ties without any issues if, for example, thebottom slab is uneven as is often the case on
construction sites.

Use the MX Ratchet to tighten the MX Tie andtighten it until you are able to fit the eyebolt.

... and tighten the MX Tie as far as possible with
the MX Ratchet.

Then screw the eyebolt in until it is tight ...

Benefits of the system

Faster tie installation
Without a single spacer tube or cone

Spacer tubes and cones are not required due to thefact that the conical tie rod is used. This enables you
to operate the tie on the side of the closing formwork.
This means that anchoring can be carried out quickly by asingle person. Intermediate levels on the primary formwork
for guardrails are not required. In addition, the working area
required between the primary formwork and, for example,
an adjacent development or sheet piling, is reduced.
Compared to panel formwork with conventional tie technology, the single-sided anchoring system on MAXIMO provides
significant benefits:

MAXIMO Panel Formwork

Panel formwork with conventional tie technology

Single-sided anchoring process carried out by one person

Anchoring process carried out by two persons

Reduced number of work steps

Higher number of work steps due to fact that spacer tubes are required

Lower number of essential components: MX Tie Rod and Wingnut MX

Higher number of essential components, e.g.: tie rod, cones, spacer tube
and wingnut pivot plates

Quick and easy adjustment of wall thicknesses using preset ties

Wall thickness adjustment using spacer tubes, multiple checks, if­necessary

Harmonised concrete finish with centred tie positions

Inconsistent concrete finish

MX Removable Sealing
The MX Removable Sealing rings used with the MAXIMO system reliably closes the tie point when using
MX Ties and therefore prevents any concrete bleeding. This also applies to inclined tie positions of up to 4°.
In addition, the tie hole is protected against all impacts by a metal ring.

Exchanging the removable sealings from
MX 15 ...

8… to MX 18. This allows for a quick and easy
­on-site exchange process at your construction
site.

Working scaffolds are not­required
Due to the fact that ties are­installed from one side only,­additional safety measures, e.g.
working scaffolds on the primary
formwork, are not required whichsaves both time and money. This
is of great importance particularlyin the case of high formwork.

9Benefits of the system

Fewer ties
Optimised arrangement of the tie points

With MAXIMO, the tie points are
systematised and centrally arranged
for all panel sizes. Every tie point isused and you do not require anyedge ties.
It is mandatory that all tie holes be
used. This ensures that the concrete finish is optimised and prevents bleeding through non-sealed tie points.
This keeps the additional workload forreworking operations to a minimum.
At the same time, by using the­MAXIMO system, the number of tie
points required is reduced by up to
40 percent. As such, the single-sided
MX Tie Technology allows you tomake valuable time and cost savings.

Panel connections with
­Alignment Coupler BFD
The Alignment Coupler BFD ensuresthat panel joints are tight, resulting
in an excellent concrete finish. With
only one component it is possible toachieve a panel connection that isflush, aligned and tight.

10Benefits of the system

Variable combination options with MAXIMO Elements
MAXIMO elements are available in six heights from 30 cm up to
3.30 m as well as five widths from 30 cm to 2.40 m in 30 cm increments. Special-purpose sizes with heights of 3.00 m and 3.60 m
are also available. The additional 45-cm-wide element minimises
the requirement for filler plates to a significant degree.

Benefits of the system

Harmonised concrete finish
Neat joint and tie arrangement

MAXIMO allows you to produce
concrete surfaces in a systematic,
cost-effective and straightforwardmanner.
The ability to create special wall surfaces with very little additional effort
using an efficient panel formwork system is a request we receive frequently
from clients and architects. The
centrally-­arranged tie points in the MAXIMO Panel Formwork produce a regular and harmonised joint pattern – bothhorizontally and vertically. You canchoose from a multitude of panel combinations to create your customised
wall surface.

Walls that are formed using MAXIMO stand out
due to the clean concrete finish of their surfaces.
It is free from indentations, unused tie points and,
consequently, bleeding through unsealed tie points.

Concrete surface design with the
MX Grid arrangement
The clearly defined arrangement of
the individual MAXIMO Elements in
so-called “MX Grids” facilitates the visually appealing design of concrete surfaces. The number and position of thetie points is constant in the variants
shown here.

Benefits of the system

Additional benefits of the system
Easy to clean and high degree of corrosion prevention

Easy to clean
The powder coating on the MAXIMO
Panel Frame reduces concrete adhesion on the formwork and simplifies thecleaning process. In addition to good
concreting results, you will also benefit
from a long service life.

High degree of corrosion prevention
Thanks to MAXIMO Cavity Protection,
you will benefit from optimised corrosion protection on the inner surfaces ofthe profiles.

14

Irrespective of ordinary temperaturesand humidity conditions, the active corrosion prevention takes effect on themetal surface and forms a protective
layer against the effects of oxygen.

Sophisticated safety concept
MAXIMO Panel Formwork provides
you with a high degree of safety.
With the aid of the MXK Bracket
System, you can create safe andconvenient working and concreting
platforms on the panel formwork.

Standard applications

Stopend formwork

Stopend formwork
Stopend ties and compensation
walersWhen using a conventional solution,
the fresh concrete pressure of thestopend formwork is transferred to
the MAXIMO elements via the­Stopend Ties and Walers 85. You­require three walers for a height of
2.70 m. You could use the Compensation Waler MAR 85 as an alternative to the Waler 85.

Stopend Panel MT/MTF
You can attach the stopend panel tothe MAXIMO Frame with the aid of
the BFD Alignment Couplers, which
will allow you to easily guide the reinforcement through the stopend panel.
The durable and hard-wearing rubber
lip on the centre section prevents the
fresh concrete from escaping. The
centre section can be used with orwithout a water bar.

Centre Section MT, without water bar

Centre Section MTF, with water bar

Stopend Waler MX 15 – 40
The Stopend Waler is an optimised
solution for all wall thicknesses­between 15 cm and 40 cm, whenforming at the front with squared
timber and filler plates. The waler iseasy to use and can be continuously
adjusted.
For a height of 2.70 m and a wall thicknessof ≤ 30 cm, two Stopend Walers MX 15 - 40
are required for a permissible fresh concrete pressure of 60 kN/m2 and three­Stopend Walers MX 15 - 40 are required
for a permissible fresh concrete pressureof 80 kN/m2.

MX Shaft Corner

MAXIMO Shaft Corner
The MAXIMO Shaft Corner is a 90° inside corner
which also serves as a striking element.
It has two functions: you can use the shaft corner toform the internal corner and to strike the entire internal
formwork of the shaft.

■ Quick and safe handling
Striking can be carried out in only a few work steps –without spindles and from the ground. The Alignment
Coupler BFD is used for installation on the next element.
■ Formlining right up into the corner
Nailable formlining is installed over the entire surface ofthe MAXIMO Shaft Corner. This means that built-in parts
can also be securely fixed to the formwork in the cornerareas.
■ Moving complete units
The MAXIMO Shaft Corners together with the wall
formwork elements form a complete formwork unit for
all concreting cycles. BFD Alignment Couplers bridge all
required compensations. The Wingnut MX also remain
attached to the elements.
■ Shaft dimensions starting at 1.30 m x 1.30 m
The MAXIMO Shaft Corner makes it possible to form
ground plans starting at 1.30 m x 1.30 m. The maximum
shaft dimensions and height are limited by the 2.0 t
load-carrying capacity of the lifting unit.

When releasing the shaft corners and pulling withthe crane, a 35 mm striking clearance is createdon each side.

26

In addition to the heights 3.30 m, 2.70 m and 1.20 m, the MAXIMOInternal and Shaft Corners are also available in the special-purpose
heights of 3.00 m and 3.60 m.

System solutions for fast and safe working processes

MXK Bracket System
With the aid of the MXK Bracket
System, you can create safe andconvenient working and concreting
platforms on the MAXIMO and
TRIO Panel Formwork. Unlike conventional solutions, this system will
see you benefit from compatible
system components.
The bracket system is mounted on
the elements of the panel formwork
horizontally on the ground. The essential system components are lightand can be handled without the useof a crane.
The supplementary system components, such as decks with accesshatches, ladder access, system­solutions for internal and external
corners, as well as length compensations, ensure a consistently­reliable solution in all areas.

Concreting Platform MX
The work and concreting platform
for MAXIMO and TRIO is attachedto the element from above and isself-securing.
The steel surface provides a highdegree of surefootedness. This
­paves the way for quick and safe
work operations.

32

The work platforms are mounted on the­element with the corresponding width andalso remain attached to the formwork during
temporary storage.

System supplements and accessories

Platform MXP
The Platform System MXP allows
generously sized work platforms to
be installed on MAXIMO and TRIO
in a particularly efficient manner.
At the same time, MXP stands out
due to its high degree of safety anduser-friendliness.
It is assembled on the ground byhand. Large-sized units of the system can be moved by crane, thus
improving the cost-efficiency further
still, particularly in the case of highwalls and multiple usage.
Thereafter, the integrated ladder­access, hatches and guardrails guarantee efficient working operations.
MXP provides quick solutions forcorners, length compensations andstopend formwork. With larger wall
thicknesses, modifications can also
be carried out on the front side of
the wall using a continuous platform
assembly.

All anchors are easily accessible, while the yellow
rubber lip protects the element against dirt.

You can suspend the anchors directly on theguardrails. Once the unit has been moved,
they are ready for installation again.

MAXIMO in use

Hexagon office building, Calgary, Canada
A combination of MAXIMO Panel Formwork and CB Climbing Units was used during the reconstruction of the­Hexagon headquarters in Calgary, Canada. This enabled theconstruction site team to stick to the tight schedule while
meeting the stringent concrete surface quality requirements.
In order to produce the reinforced-concrete walls, the construction site team used MAXIMO Panel Formwork. Thanks
to its MX Tie Technology, which can be operated from one
38side, it was possible to save valuable working time on site.
The anchoring process was carried out quickly by a single
person. Given the conical shape of the MX Tie Rod, neither
spacer tubes nor cones were required – in Calgary, this­saved both on materials and any additional effort. The­centrally-arranged tie points in the MAXIMO Formwork
also allowed for a regular joint and tie arrangement – bothhorizontally and vertically.
Two MAXIMO Shaft Units were used to produce the six

multi-storey building cores. During this process, the internal formwork was installed using MAXIMO Elements with suitable shaft corners. At the same time,
the Shaft Corners MXSE served as 90° internal corners as well as striking panels.
It was possible to strike the entire internal formwork quickly as a complete unit
and lift it out by crane in order to move it to the next concreting section.
For the core-external formwork, PERI used a total of 12 units consisting of
CB Climbing Brackets and MAXIMO Panel Formwork that could be moved by
crane. In addition, the work platforms ensured that working conditions weresafe, partly due to the absence of tripping hazards.

MAXIMO in use

More than 6,000 m² of MAXIMO Panel Formwork materials were in­simultaneous use during construction of Berlin’s City Palace.

The walls of the “am Hirschgarten” urban district were formed in notime at all using MAXIMO Panel Formwork.

“Humboldt Forum” City Palace
Berlin, Germany“am Hirschgarten” urban district, MK 4 “Friends”
Munich, Germany

For the reconstruction of Berlin's City Palace, PERI supplieda large number of cost-effective formwork and scaffolding
solutions from a single source. In addition to fast shutteringand moving times, the on-site support provided by the PERI
engineers ensured that the very tight construction schedule
could be maintained.

The MK 4 residential complex near the city centre withits 260 apartments and office and hotel units consists of
two 16-storey residential towers, each reaching a heightof 53 m. The basement storeys house the underground­garage, storage rooms and technical facilities.

More than 6,000 m² of MAXIMO Panel Formwork materials
were in simultaneous use in Berlin. In particular, the one-sided MX Tie Technology guaranteed significant time savings
during all shuttering and striking operations. This is because
MAXIMO does not require any spacer tubes or cones – andsaves the expense of an extra person on the opposite side.
In particular, taking all construction tasks into consideration
was an important element of the PERI overall solution. In
addition to providing modern and time-saving systems, thewell-thought-out safety technology, provision of project-specific special formwork assemblies and project managementby the PERI project leader had a very positive effect andaccelerated the work processes.

40

In only twelve months of construction time, a total of
40,000 m³ of concrete and 5,700 t of the constructional
steel were installed. A comprehensive formwork and scaffolding solution provided by the PERI engineers in Munich
guaranteed safety and efficiency in equal measure.
MAXIMO Panel Formwork was used to form the walls.
Thanks to the single-sided tie technology without spacer
tubes and cones, the client was able to make significant
savings on personnel costs and the time required for the
shuttering process. There was no need to have a second
person on the opposite side of the formwork.

Project examples

The modern, two-storey office building stands out due to its impressive architectural concrete facade. The building dimensions, as well as the window
and door openings, were cleverly defined so that no obstructing filler timbercompensations were necessary and a perfect concrete finish with a homogeneous joint and tie arrangement could be realised.

Kopp Office Building
Emerkingen, Germany
With its one-sided MX Tie Technology, the MAXIMO Panel Formwork guaranteed fast working operations and rapid
cycle sequences during construction work. This meant one
less person was required when anchoring and scaffoldingon the setting side, while also eliminating time-consuming
working steps such as the cutting of spacer tubes andclosing of unused tie points. In particular, the possibilityof using MAXIMO Standard Panels, due to the centrally
arranged tie points and the perfectly matched joint and tie
arrangement for realising extremely impressive concrete
finishes in architectural concrete quality, convinced theclient, architect and contractor alike.
To achieve an optimal result, the project management teamcollaborated closely with the PERI formwork specialists at
an early stage. Thus, the design possibilities using the
30 cm grid of the MAXIMO Formwork Panels were alreadyincorporated in the construction plans. Both costs and time
were saved by only using standardised rental formwork in
the construction work. At the request of the customer, only
MAXIMO Elements fitted with new formlining for the visible
surfaces were supplied.

The climbing units were lifted into the next section each time in 50 cm
increments by means of mobile climbing hydraulics. Thereby, the MAXIMO
Wall Formwork was positioned on a carriage and retracted by up to 90 cm
for reinforcement work to be carried out.

Maakri-Kvartal Business Complex, Tallinn, Estonia
PERI engineers developed a comprehensive overall concept
in collaboration with the contractor to construct the building
shell. The RCS Rail Climbing System was combined withthe particularly efficient MAXIMO Panel Formwork to form
corresponding climbing units.
The MAXIMO Panel Formwork was used not only on the
climbing formwork but also for various other wall areas.
With panel heights of up to 3.30 m and the one-sided
MX Tie Technology, valuable working time was saved. The
Wingnut MX was fixed only once on the primary formworkat the beginning of work operations; subsequently the
MX Tie could be screwed in through the closing formwork
into the swivel nut – it was therefore possible for one person to operate the tie and from one side only whenever
the formwork was used. In the process, the conical tie rod
requires no spacer tubes and cones – this saves both onmaterials and any additional effort. What’s more, MAXIMO
required up to 40% fewer tie points compared to panel
formwork systems with conventional tie technology.

Project examples

MAXIMO in use

Shuttering could be carried out much more quickly due to the fact that theanchor technology is operated from one side only and the number of spacer
tubes and tie points were reduced.

The almost 12-m-high walls were cast in one pour, while closing the­M AXIMO required no scaffolding on the setting side.

Detached House
Dußlingen, Germany

Production hall at the carbide tool factory ofPaul Horn GmbH, Tübingen-Derendingen, Germany

The basement walls of the detached house were formed in three cycles with a wall thickness of 24 cm. For this,the construction site team used the newly purchased
MAXIMO 270. After very careful consideration, the 14-man
building company opted to use the MAXIMO Panel Formwork System so they could work even more efficiently
when constructing the basement for the detached house,
the retaining walls and silo walls. As an additional benefit,
the contractor promised attractive visible concrete surfaces
with cost-effective means, as the MAXIMO Panel Formwork ensures a neat joint and tie arrangement.

The carbide tool factory of Paul Horn GmbH doubled its
manufacturing floor space. The 170-m-long, 50-m-wide
and 18-m-high two-storey building shell was completed ina construction time of only ten months. Once the project
was complete, 15,000 m² of additional space was available
for carrier tool production, coating operations and logistics.

For subsequent projects, especially those with high wall
sections, the reduction of working steps and tie points will
have an even greater effect. In addition, the combinationof tension and compression braces together with centrallypositioned tie points replaced the bottom row of ties forfoundations, parapets and downstand beams. Anchoring
no longer had to take place in the bottom, often heavily
reinforced area.

42

In order to adhere to the demanding building schedule, theexperienced construction team was supported by four tower cranes and had a large supply of on-site formwork andscaffolding materials, whereby the quantities available matched the exact requirements of the construction process. In
particular, for the realisation of the high reinforced concrete
walls, which were cast in sections of up to 12 m in one pour,the MAXIMO Panel Formwork guaranteed fast shuttering
times. Thanks to the MX Tie Technology, no additional scaffolding was required on the setting side; anchoring was only
required on the closing side of the PERI UP Reinforcement Scaffold.

Project examples

Horizontally-positioned MAXIMO 270 x 120 Elements were used as side
formwork for the bottom plate, and were fixed to the steel girders by meansof weld-on anchors. The DK Tie System served to ensure subsequent­reliable sealing of the tie points. The tie points were sealed with concrete
cones using a sealing compound.

The MXP Modular Platform System ensured a high level of safety on theconstruction site – and provided optimal working conditions especially whenforming the high walls.

Billhafen flood protection
Hamburg, Germany

Customer Service Centre
Winnenden, Germany

The 720-m-long “Billhafen” flood protection system was upgraded by means of an angular reinforced concrete retaining
wall structure – laterally extended by 8 m and with theheight raised by almost 5 m. The foundations were realisedby means of vertical piles along with oblique anchors thatwere embedded up to 40 m in the ground. For the visible,
water-facing surfaces, Class SB 2 architectural concrete wasspecified.

Three impressive structures have expanded the company
premises of this manufacturer of cleaning equipment withan international presence. To construct the new customer
service centre including training rooms and an 800 m² exhibition hall, the construction site team used MAXIMO Panel
Formwork together with the modular MXP Platform System
to manufacture the walls, which reached heights of up to
12.10 m. After completing the straightforward initial assembly phase with only a few fasteners, the work platforms
remained fixed to the formwork, thus forming movable units
that could be relocated easily by crane. This meant that
shuttering and concreting could also be carried out at greatheights in a totally safe manner and a great working speed.
What’s more, the 1.20-m-wide working levels made iteasier to operate the MX Ties and connect the MAXIMO
Elements using BFD Alignment Couplers.
In addition to the significant time savings, the MAXIMO
System also impressed by providing excellent concreting results. The perfectly coordinated panel dimensions, the centrally-positioned tie points and the permanently symmetricaltie positions in all extension situations won over the project
management team. All of this meant that the wall surfaces
could be retained as architectural concrete walls without theneed for any subsequent reworking.

The experienced construction site team used MAXIMO Panel Formwork for the 18 casting segments, each 28 m long.
For concreting the bottom plate, horizontally-positioned
MX 270 x 120 Elements were used for the base layer, whichwere fixed to the inclined steel girders by means of weld-on
ties. Deploying the MAXIMO Elements horizontally in close
coordination with the project planners resulted in excellent
concrete surfaces with a neat and tidy joint and tie arrangement on account of the centrally-positioned tie points.
Due to the outer side having a 6° inclination, conventional
DW 15 Ties were used. The MAXIMO Elements werearranged polygonally in the curved areas. Filler timbers
were accurately cut at PERI's assembly hall in Hamburg;
BFD Alignment Couplers provided tight panel connections.
