The Project
Impressions from the project process
The 3rd Bosphorus Bridge has the highest concrete bridge piers in the world, and will eventually connect the European and Asian continents after its completion in 2015.
The PERI ACS climbing formwork is easily adapted from cycle to cycle to match the tapered pier layouts. The project-specific solution also provides safe working conditions for the construction team at heights of over 300 m.
A further challenge is adapting the formwork to the changing dimensions and positioning of the steel mounting parts for guiding the stay cables. The complete solution from PERI meets the strict requirements regarding high flexibility and dimensional accuracy.
The two A-shaped inclined bridge pylons of the spectacular Bosphorus Bridge steadily rise up into the air with the PERI ACS climbing formwork system finally reaching a height of over 300 m.
Determining the climbing axes required a well thought-out planning process in order to avoid any collisions with the stay cable boxes.

The pylons of the 3rd Bosphorus Bridge are unique and extremely complicated due to the inclined conical shape and the numerous embedded items. PERI ACS system was the right decision for this one of a kind bridge project because of the huge experience of PERI. Getting a competent and comprehensive support inside our tight schedule and providing completely safe working platforms at all levels and at any height was other positive aspects of PERI ACS system.
