Hallandale Beach, United States

Realisation of a 33 m high and 60 m long Pegasus bronze sculpture.

Processing and shaping of 250 t bronze and 400 t steel in a 2-year construction period.

Sculpture created using 1,250 individual bronze pieces, each approx. 3 m² in size and weighing 200 kg, which were joined together around a steel construction like a 3D puzzle.

Project Information

Requirements
Provision of the required working and access levels in order to facilitate the assembly, welding and finishing work on 1,250 bronze parts on site to form a larger-than-life sculpture Flexible scaffold adjustment to match the complex, organic form - continuously following the erection progress Large-span bridging for non-load bearing parts of the building

Solutions
Combined scaffold solution using the PERI UP Flex modular scaffolding system and  VARIOKIT engineering construction kit - adapted on the outside and inside to match the complex, organic form as well as continuously following the erection progress.

Customer benefits
Optimal, safe working conditions for the craftsmen and metal designers due to the adaptability of the PERI UP Flex in 25 cm increments.
Fast assembly and availability at short notice through a coordinated system solution.
Simple scaffold adaptation to suit the almost daily changing situation on site.
