Taking the PERI UP Public Stair to an Industrial Event
The Noordkade in Veghel, originally built in 1915 as part of a cattle feed factory, is now a vibrant cultural and recreational centre. To revitalize the industrial landmark, PERI used the newly developed PERI UP Public Stair and other customised scaffolding solutions to provide safe, permanently installed visitor walkways that are optimally adapted to the historic fabric of the building. In this way, PERI is making a significant contribution to the preservation of the building’s industrial charm whilst improving visitor convenience. On this project, PERI collaborated with the construction company Van de Ven and the scaffolding specialist Steigerbouw Van der Panne and supplied customised scaffolding and engineering solutions. The safety standards for public scaffolds and stairs posed a particular challenge compared to working scaffolds. The newly developed PERI UP Public Stair is a solution that is approved for public areas and can be seamlessly combined with modular scaffolds and VARIOKIT elements. Up to 200 visitors/h make use of the stairs to visit the building. In total, PERI supplied over 45 t of materials, which will remain in place on the building as a permanent feature of the experience concept.
The 6-month construction phase underscores the unique nature of this project: instead of a temporary solution, a permanently installed structure was erected that complements the design of the building and remains in place as an integral feature of the overall complex. A combination of the PERI UP Modular Scaffold and PERI UP Public Stair was used to create a walking route for visitors with a height of 24 m and a span of 35 m. This begins on the 10th floor of the building and leads the guests through the construction site via the PERI staircase and scaffolding construction. For the lower The 90° angle of the staircase enables easy navigation through the building and combines functionality with aesthetic appeal. This permanent installation not only provides public access at an impressive height, but also realises the client’s vision of transforming the site into a major cultural and recreational centre. Thanks to the permanently installed PERI UP Public Stair, approved for public use, and custom-fit PERI scaffolding and VARIOKIT elements, the client received a cost-effective all-in-one solution. This system provides barrier-free visitor walkways, preserves the industrial charm and transforms the listed building into a modern location for culture and leisure.
