PERI LGS Weather Protection Roof with 32 m span
Simple pre-assembly and moved by hand
In the town of Farum, near Copenhagen, Denmark, there is an extensive housing project comprising of numerous blocks of terraced apartments with landscaped flat roofs. Over the years, the roofs have developed leakage problems which has now led to implementing large-scale renovation and repair work. As part of this project, houses are being completely re-insulated as well as having new windows fitted.
In order to provide site personnel with completely weather-independent working conditions and to protect the houses during renovation work against the rain, engineers from the Weissenhorn-based formwork and scaffold manufacturers, PERI, designed a practical and cost-effective solution. A total of six PERI weather protection roofs were used to span the individual blocks with unsupported lengths of 32.30 m. The single protection roofs were movable and mounted on lateral PERI UP supporting scaffold and were used simultaneously for easy longitudinal transport of the windows as well as the insulation materials. Due to the adaptability of the LGS truss to the geometry of the building, material requirements for the supporting scaffold could be considerably reduced.
After renovation work on each section had been completed, the weather protection roof was pushed forward to the next working area. The system used special PERI wheels on aluminium track which allowed the complete roof to be moved manually without any great effort by only two workers. At the end of a building the protection roof was moved in segments to the next block by crane.
Safe pre-assembly of the individual roof segments on the ground made the work considerably easier. Keder sheeting added next to nothing to the total weight of each segment and enabled the roof to be moved in very restricted conditions.
