Within a 2-3 year period, a total of 86,400 flights are simulated which is three times the expected service life. The PERI UP working scaffold allows test preparations as well as continuous measurement and inspection work to be carried out during the EF-2 testing phase.

Erding, Germany

Approval tests on the new wide-bodied Airbus A350 XWB in a specially erected testing facility

Scaffold solution for test preparations as well as continuous measurement and inspection work

Time-consuming fatigue tests on the fuselage and wings through a simulation of 86,400 flights (equivalent to three times the expected service life) within a period of 2-3 years

Two different endurance tests: EF-2 test (middle fuselage section including centre wing box and both wings) and EW test (systematic application of stress on the wing up to the analytical breaking load point)

Project Information

Requirements
Working scaffold for unrestricted access to the pieces being tested Realization of different platform levels at heights between 7.00 m and 10.50 m Modifications could be carried out to the load-bearing steel construction as well as the 88 inclined-arranged hydraulic cylinders 2.5 kN/m² live load
Solutions
3D scaffold planning with the help of PERI CAD identified all obstructions and minimized these well in advance Scaffold basic grid: 2.00 m x 1.50 m Detailed and early coordination of the scaffolding concept with the users and scaffold erection team VARIOKIT bridging construction above the wings Integrated stair access with 1 m wide flights of stairs
Customer benefits
Optimal adjustment of the working levels required for the fuselage and wings – whilst taking into account the steel and hydraulic constructions as well as ensuring that all access points were kept clear
Modifications with system components in 25-cm increments – without any time-consuming tube-and-coupler assembly
Reduced surface weight
System combination of PERI UP with VARIOKIT

The recipe for success is the modularity and adaptability of the PERI UP scaffolding system – as well as the combinability with other products in the PERI portfolio. Furthermore, the project support provided by the PERI engineers was very professional and extremely positive.
