PERI
MASTERS IN THE ART OF CONSTRUCTION SOLUTIONS
Formwork systems and solutions supplier Wiehahn Formwork & Scaffolding was founded in 1968 and now, 43 years later is a recognised, well established brand in the building, civil engineering and general construction industries throughout Southern Africa. An important component of the Wiehahn group strategy is doing business in Africa and investments have beenmade in the setting up of several operations currently open in Botswana, Mozambique and Namibia. The company leadership has plans in place to ensure that its hard-won reputation for delivery, formwork expertise and technical support will continue to be enhanced.
Wiehahn has been extensively involved in providing innovative formwork solutions for major projects such as FIFA Soccer World Cup stadia - notably Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, Green Point Stadium in Cape Town, the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit and the extension and upgrading of Vodacom Park in Bloemfontein.
Other formwork consultancy and supply contracts have been executed for contractors working on elements of the Gautrain project, including the Marlboro station and the underground station at Rosebank and the new multi-storey parkade providing 5 400 new parking bays at Johannesburg's O.R. Tambo International Airport.
Our intention in Africa is to offer construction companies formwork and scaffolding solutions for building, slab and beam structures as well as civil engineering projects, both conventional and unconventional," said Wiehahn managing director Johan Cilliers.
Wiehahn has unlimited sole distributorship in Southern Africa for the internationally acclaimed PERI formwork system developed in Germany. This factor as well as its access and expertise in other formwork and scaffolding systems has been a key differentiator for the company in its business drive into Africa.
Wiehahn's provision of civil engineering formwork solutions has added impetus to the growth of the group. The company offers, in addition to structural and civil design services, professional and specialised formwork solutions design and consultancy. Wiehahn prides itself on safety and quality at all times and all equipment is ISO9001 and SABS certified and approved.
