VARIOKIT VTC Tunnel Carriage

VARIOKIT system solutions for cut-and-cover and mining techniques
Cut-and-cover, semi-monolithic construction method
Cut-and-cover, separate casting method
Mining, semi-monolithic construction method
The VTC Tunnel Formwork Carriage can be flexibly adapted to suit individual project requirements of cut- and-cover, semi-monolithic construction. Thanks to modular VARIOKIT core and system components, tailored configurations of tunnel geometries and boundary conditions, e.g. drive-through access openings, are possible.
The modular VARIOKIT system can be adapted to suit different site conditions and to accommodate various areas of application.
Smart engineering solutions with a folding mechanism allow PERI UP back-propping, resulting in early moving of the formwork carriage.
Circular cross-sections are just as possible as separate individual formwork carriages for walls and slabs.
In accordance with the occurring loads, it is possible to realise supporting structures with diagonal struts or trusses with the Vertical Post.
For mined tunnels, access portals are an important prerequisite for use.
The PERI UP Scaffold System offers all possibilities - from a simple stair tower through to a complete post-treatment carriage.
Optional VARIOKIT accessories such as the hydraulic drive, lifting and lowering unit, as well as hydraulic cylinders for operating the wall and slab formwork elements, are available in the VARIOKIT Construction Kit and are planned according to project requirements as needed.
The VARIOKIT Telescopic Prop facilitates easy length adjustment.

Overview

Thanks to its easy handling combined with PERI engineering expertise, the VTC Tunnel Formwork Carriage always provides a clever and tailored project solution. Due to the flexible VARIOKIT Modular Construction Kit and the VTC system components for tunnel construction, the system can be flexibly adapted to match a wide range of tunnel cross-sections and designs.

The VTC Tunnel Formwork Carriage is an optimised project solution that accelerates the work process enormously. Depending on the project, it is possible to choose between an entirely manual operation or one completely equipped with hydraulic equipment. With hydraulic equipment for shuttering and striking, the efficiency of the application can be increased. Workloads are minimised for positioning, striking and moving operations.

With a range of other optional features, the performance of the tunnel formwork carriage can be adapted to suit a diversity of requirements.
