Swimming stadium for the Summer Olympic Games 2012 - bold designs and extraordinary architectural concrete.
The stationary prefabrication using state-of-the-art engineering technology, and trained qualified personnel, ensures high quality.
The 3D formwork elements were pre-assembled and ready-to-use by PERI – with the help of formwork units machined on CNC woodworking equipment.
Creating a mould for a one-off use: every 3D formwork unit resembles a work of art. Setting up on VARIO basic elements simplified on-site assembly.
The individually-configured elements were delivered to the construction site on a just-in-time basis and with maximum quality.
The application on the construction site was carried out similar to a system formwork – supported by assembly-optimized utilisation plans.
Supported by a PERI UP shoring and working scaffold, more than 200 customized elements were assembled on-site to create a complete 3D formwork structure.
For the construction of the „Welcome Zone“ back wall, not only were maximum architectural concrete requirements to be fulfilled but also the highest possible degree of accuracy for the subsequent glazing work.
Engineers of the Weissenhorn 3D-Support Team planned the complex formwork units in close cooperation with the London office of star architect, Zaha Hadid.
For an all-round, uniform concrete finish, PERI engineers compiled the available data regarding the complete element arrangement beforehand. By means of a 3D model, all details could be coordinated with the architectural team in London.

With the eyes of the world on London in 2012, the quality and finish of the concrete in the Aquatics Centre had to be of Gold Medal standard. The walls around the pools, particularly the end walls, curved vertically and horizontally whilst changing thickness and needed to be fair faced on both sides. To create the fluid geometry concept intended by Zaha Hadid, the specification required shutters designed and built to millimetre accuracy in 3 dimensions. After using PERI products over many years, we knew this would be “The Job” for PERI. Working rigorously with the PERI engineers installing the 3D modelled formwork, we achieved the high quality architectural finish required.
