Introduction

1. Standard configuration

1.1 General These assembly instructions describe the standard configuration of the Rail Climbing System RCS as climbing protection panel.

• Version 1: Minimum width with narrow working platform for 1 storey in advance • Version 2: Several wide working platforms for 1 storey in advance • Version 3: Several wide working platforms for 2 storeys in advance

1.2 Features The RCS Climbing Protection Panel is a standard application of the RCS - Rail Climbing System. The Climbing Protection Panel RCS P is a bracket-type framework construction and has been de-signed as protective scaffolding according to the provisions laid out in DIN 4420. Wind load assump-tions in accordance with DIN 1055. The climbing protection panel basically consists of 2 bracket sections which are connected with the working platforms and enclosure. Two RCS climbing rails, connected with walers and struts, form the bracket sections. The platforms are comprised of planking fixed to girders. The enclosure is attached to the climbing rails and consists of timbers and cladding made of multi-layered boards or profiled sheeting. Alternatively, scaffold tubes with netting or tarpaulin which has been statically proven can also be used. The lower climbing rail RCS is anchored above the climbing shoes and slab shoes to the floor slabs of the building. The upper climbing rail is offset and carries the enclosure itself.

2. Intended use 1. PERI products have been exclusively designed as technical work equipment for use in the indus-

trial and commercial sectors by suitably trained personnel. 2. These assembly instructions serve as a basis for the building-related risk assessment and the

instructions for the provision and use of the system by the contractor (user). However, this does not replace these.

3. Only PERI original components may be used. The use of other products and spare parts repre-sent a misapplication with associated safety risks.

4. The components are to be inspected before each use to ensure that they are in perfect condition as well as being able to function correctly.

5. Changes to PERI components are not permitted and represent a misapplication with associated safety risks.

6. Safety instructions and permissible loads must be observed at all times. 7. Components provided by the contractor must conform with the characteristics required in these

assembly instructions as well as all valid construction guidelines and standards. In particular, the following apply if nothing else is specified: • Timber components:

Strength Class C24 for Solid Wood EN 338. • Scaffold tubes:

galvanized steel tubing with minimum dimensions Ø 48.3 x 3.2 mm according to EN 12811-1:2003 4.2.1.2.

• Scaffold tube couplings according to EN 74.

8. Any deviations from the standard configuration may only be carried out after a separate risk as-sessment has been done by the contractor (user). On this basis, appropriate measures for the working safety and stability are to be implemented.

5. Operating Status and Loads

5.1 Working Operations • All work carried out with protection provided by the climbing protection panel and its work-

ing platforms: assembly of slab and column formwork, concreting and striking, inspection and maintenance

• Platforms are freely accessible for the required work to be carried out. • Max. wind speed 100 km/h

5.2 Climbing Operations • Moving the climbing unit by crane or by means of the hydraulic climbing device • Non-planned loads on the platforms are to be removed • Climbing by crane: personnel are not allowed on the platforms during the climbing

procedure • Self-climbing: personnel required for the climbing procedure are usually positioned on the

floor slab • Max. wind speed 72 km/h

5.3 Non-Operational Status • During longer work breaks, overnight, storm warnings, with wind speeds over 72 km/h • Accessing the platforms during storm conditions is forbidden • Materials and other equipment must be removed from the platforms • Dynamic wind pressure q and wind speed v: depends on height of use when calculating

q = 0.8 kN/m²: v = 129 km/h q = 1.1 kN/m²: v = 151 km/h q = 1.3 kN/m²: v = 164 km/h q = 1.7 kN/m²: v = 187 km/h

• If given limits are exceeded, a visual inspection of all bearing parts and a functional check of all safety-related parts are required for further use.

• If a storm warning has higher wind speeds than originally stated, the site management is to be informed. All enclosure tarpaulins are to be removed and the climbing protection panel can be additionally braced by means of struts. The scaffold can be climbed down to the previous floor but only on the instructions of authorized site personnel.

• If a storm warning predicts wind speeds of over 100 km/h, additional safety measures are required for the corner elements.

7. Safe working conditions The structures shown in these assembly instructions are examples and feature only one component size. They are valid accordingly for all component sizes contained in the standard configuration.

7.1 General safety instructions 1. Deviations from the standard configuration and/or intended use present a potential safety risk. 2. All country-specific laws, standards and other safety regulations are to be taken into account

whenever our products are used. 3. During unfavourable weather conditions, suitable precautions and measures are to be taken in

order to ensure both working safety and stability. 4. The contractor (user) must ensure the stability during all stages of construction. He must ensure

and verify that all loads which occur are safely transferred. 5. The contractor (user) has to provide safe and secure working areas which can be safely ac-

cessed. Areas of risk must be cordoned off and clearly marked. Hatches and openings on acces-sible working areas must be kept closed during working operations.

6. For better comprehensibility, detailed drawings are partly incomplete. The safety installations which have possibly not been featured in these detailed drawings must nevertheless be available.

7.2 Storage and transportation 1. Do not drop the components. 2. Store and transport components so that no unintentional change in their position is possible. De-

tach lifting gear from the lowered units only if these are in a stable position and no unintentional change is possible.

3. When moving the components, make sure they are lifted and set down so that any unintentional tilting over, falling apart, sliding or rolling away is avoided.

4. Use only suitable load-carrying equipment to move the components as well as using the desig-nated load-bearing points.

5. During the lifting and moving procedure, ensure all loose parts are removed or secured. 6. During the moving procedure, always use a guide rope. 7. Move components on clean, flat and sufficiently load-bearing surfaces only.

Safe working conditions Copyright PERI GmbH, Germany 15 / 61

7.3 System-specific safety instructions 1. The contractor has to ensure that assembly, adjusting and dismantling, moving as well as correct

use and handling of the product is supervised by trained and authorized personnel. 2. All persons working with the product must be familiarized with the working and safety instructions. 3. The contractor must ensure that the assembly instructions, other relevant operational and assem-

bly documentation, all required plan documents, parts lists and other data are at the user’s dis-posal.

Assembly work 4. The contractor has to make sure that appropriate and sufficient tools, lifting equipment and acces-

sories, a suitable and adequately-sized area for assembly and storage, as well as enough crane capacity are available for the user.

5. During assembly work, unexpected dangerous situations can always arise – the level of which is to be determined on an individual basis and, if necessary, measures are to be taken that will eliminate or at least reduce the risk to a minimum.

6. If guardrails cannot be used due to technical reasons or they have to be removed, other equip-ment must in place for catching any person falling to the ground. If the use of catching equipment should be inappropriate, then a safety harness (personal protection equipment) can be used, if suitable attachment points are available.

7. Use guide rope for better control of the assembly units when being moved by crane. 8. Avoid working under the path of loads being moved by crane. If this is not possible, suitable

measures are to be determined and implemented. Site personnel must avoid remaining between suspended loads and the building.

9. Personnel must keep away from the area below where assembly work is being carried out if the area at risk is not protected from falling objects. This area is to be clearly cordoned off.

Maintenance and repairs 10. System components are to be checked before every use to make sure they are in satisfactory

condition. Basically, all materials used must be in perfect condition.

11. Units are to be inspected by authorized personnel at regular intervals for any signs of damage. Dirt and concrete surplus which can impair the functionality must to be removed immediately. Damaged construction components are to be identified, removed and replaced.

12. If the maximum permissible wind speed is exceeded, temperatures are beyond usual limits or after unusual events such as fire or earthquakes, all safety-related parts and the load-bearing system itself are to be checked for function and bearing capacity before being used.

Safety components: • Visual inspections by authorized personnel at regular intervals • Function control to be carried out before every climbing sequence and assembly by qualified

personnel • Parts are to be replaced only with PERI original components. • Repairs must be carried out by PERI-trained personnel only • In cases of overloading or recurring damage, stop work on and under the platforms, determine

and stop the cause. Load-bearing system: • Visual inspection to be carried out by authorized personnel before the first use • Only PERI original parts to be used for repairs or exchange • In cases of overloading or recurring damage, stop work on and under the platforms, determine

and stop the cause. Other components: • Repairs to be carried out by qualified personnel and site management is to be informed • In cases of recurring damage, determine and stop the cause.

16 / 61 Copyright PERI GmbH, Germany Safe working conditions

Access 13. Safe access to working areas must be provided at all times. 14. Gangways, stairs, stair towers or lifts are the preferred methods. Ladders are suitable only in ex-

ceptional cases. 15. Internal scaffolding ladders must not connect more than 2 scaffolding levels and have to be offset.

Safety must be ensured by mounting suitable equipment such as guardrails or netting on the out-side edge of the scaffold.

16. All access hatches and openings in accessible areas of the scaffold must be fitted with appropriate equipment to prevent accidents. Hatch covers must be closed every time after use.

17. In the case of an emergency situation, the working areas must have escape routes or suitable rescue equipment available. It must also be ensured that at least one escape route or set of res-cue equipment is still usable if power supplies are cut off.

Protection against falling objects 18. Work must not take place at the same time on areas directly on top of each other, if the lower

working and access areas are not protected against falling objects such as tools and materials. 19. Access and working areas in dangerous positions are to be avoided. If this is not possible due to

working procedures, suitable safety equipment must be in place. This also applies to work of short duration.

20. High working positions must be secured with suitable netting (mesh size max. 2cm), stretching below the working area from the top edge of the guardrail and fixed as close as possible to the building edge. The gap between the building and netting may not exceed 5 cm. Alternatively, the scaffold decking at high working positions can be placed close to the building and multi-part guardrails can be replaced by a solid protective wall.

21. Lower-positioned working areas must have appropriate protective cover along the entire length of the area at risk.

22. Ensure that tools and materials are not at risk of falling off the working area. Remove concrete surplus and other evidence of dirt at regular intervals. In general, the platforms are to be kept clean.

Climbing procedure 23. Strike formwork only when the concrete has sufficiently hardened and site management has given

the go-ahead. Mounting the climbing units for the next concreting step can only take place after the required concrete strength has been achieved.

24. When platforms are being moved, unprotected edges are created between the individual platforms which present a safety risk. Such affected areas are to be cordoned off!

25. No persons, building materials or tools may be transported on the platforms when being moved by crane. Exceptions are permitted due to an operational work and assembly instruction which is in line with a required risk analysis.

26. When climbing by means of the hydraulic climbing device, details regarding the arrangement of the hydraulic hoses must be considered. If a standard arrangement is not possible, then a safe al-ternative is to be determined by a designated authorized person.

27. In the event of a malfunction, the platform is to be set down in the next possible position, person-nel are to leave the climbing unit using a safe access point and site management are to be in-formed immediately!

Climbing rails and floor heights Depending on the height of the floor hB, the climbing rails 2 are to be combined in such a way so that there are always at least 2 climbing shoes to guide the climbing rails at all times.

The overall length of the climbing rails L1 must therefore correspond to at least the maximum height of two successive floors hB1 + hB2 plus overlap:

Planning of additional climbing rail bolts

Fig. 25: Standard mounting procedure

In order to adapt the projection of the climbing protection panel above the topmost storey slab in steps of 125 mm, an additional climbing bolt (spacer M20) 7.1 can be fitted into the climbing rail 2 which serves as a bearing during working operations. The height of the top working plat-form can also be varied.

B1.2 Note: With standard storey heights which are multiples of 50 cm, we recommend installing additional climbing bolts (spacers M20), which ensures a definite bearing on the upper climbing shoe.

Additional finishing platforms

Fig. 26: Finishing Platform Version 1 Fig. 27: Finishing Platform Version 2

Note: Only for assembly of Version 2 and 3 with Enclosure Beam 103 RCS

Overview Fig. 2 and Fig. 3

Provisions can be made for finishing platforms in the area of the bottom slab shoe. This takes place according to the working platforms positioned above. For this, additional enclosure beams 103 RCS are bolted to the climbing rail 2 and in the extension of the enclosure post 13.

Version 1: If only a short extension of the enclosure post 1 is required, the finishing platform with one climbing rail extension 100 RCS 13.3 can be mounted.

Version 2: With a lower-positioned finishing platform, a climbing rail U200, 248 RCS 13.1 (L = 2.48 m) or climb-ing rail U200, 348 RCS 13.2 (L = 3.48 m) is required for attaching the enclosure beam 9. This is fixed with the help of the climbing rail coupling RCS 13.5 to the enclosure post 1.

A2 Design of the units

A2.1 General The following points are to be taken into consideration during the planning phase and operating in-structions for the climbing sequence: • Especially on the corner and internal platforms, the decking is to be installed so that it does not

collide with other platforms or the formwork of adjacent climbing units during the climbing proce-dure.

• If overlapping covering for the gaps between the climbing units or other overlapping components is planned, then the climbing sequence is to be planned accordingly and be clearly indicated on the general arrangement drawings.

• Access and ladder descents are to be planned so that all climbing units can be safely reached at all times.

• Detailed planning is required for the climbing sequences around the building itself. In this connec-tion, a suitable guidance system for the hydraulic hoses and climbing the last climbing unit are to be determined.

• A hydraulics plan shows how the climbing device with the hydraulic hoses is to be correctly at-tached to the hydraulic pump.

• Appropriate measures are to be specified regarding safety barriers or guardrails.

A2.2 Weight of the climbing unit

Fig. 29: Lifting gear angle

The size of climbing units can also be limited by the permissible load of the attachment point on the strongback. For this, the weight of the decisive panels is to be determined during the planning phase. The permissible load of the attachment point is also to be considered for the assembly and dismantling of climbing units which are to be moved with the self-climbing device. The weight G of the climbing units is to be speci-fied in the general arrangement drawings. Standard case: Attachment point with Crane Eye BR 2.5t 4 Girder 11 as compression brace

A2.5 Protection against falling objects

Fig. 32: Hinged cover plate

Fig. 33: Protection edges

The enclosure and the platforms should completely enclose the working area: • Any openings with more than 20 mm side length

are to be covered in a non-displaceable manner or filled with installation foam.

• At the lower end of the enclosure, cover flaps made of wooden multi-layer boards 12.1 are at-tached by means of hinges 12.2 which secure the edges of the lower floor.

• For gapless covering at the climbing shoe use Cover Mat RCS 70x70 12.6.

The gap between the climbing units should also not be more than 20 mm when in an operational status. As moving with such a small distance can present problems, we recommend increasing the distance s to a min. 50 mm and then cover the gap in a non-displaceable manner when in an operational status: • Boards which are screwed on that are removed

or folded up during climbing. • Alternatively, gaps can be covered with rubber

lips. Tip: In order to ensure a simple moving procedure with the crane without jamming the enclosure beams 9, protection edges can be arranged on the front side 18.4 (width depends on the design of the enclosure with wooden multi-layer boards 18.1 or profiled sheeting 18.2). B3.5

A3.1 External corners

Fig. 40: Mitred corner arrangement

Mitred corner elements Standard design of corner elements e.g. inter-nal building supports. On the corner of the building: crosswise ar-rangement of Slab Shoe RCS 16 and Slab Shoe Corner RCS 16.3. For transferring the anchoring forces, continu-ous edging reinforcement at the slab edge is to be arranged. The gap between the mitred enclosure ele-ments is to be covered in a non-displaceable manner. During the climbing process, this cover is to be removed.

Fig. 41: Corner solution with Stopend Slab Shoe

To carry out mitred panel corners, the brackets have to be arranged preferably close to the building corner. In particular, at corner columns this can be realized with the Stopend Slab Shoe RCS 27. The corresponding Stopend Slab Anchor 28 enables anchoring through the column rein-forcement. Due to load transfer through the bond it can be positioned close to the slab edge A4.3.

Fig. 42: Overlapping corner arrangement

Overlapping corner elements With large building supports in the corner of a building, the corner elements can also be over-lapped. In order to keep the cantilever of the corner element to a minimum, a wall shoe RCS 23 can be used for anchoring in the support.

A4.2 The side wind load on corner platforms is kept to a minimum through a multi-part design of the lateral guardrails 14. An enclosure consist-ing of netting or sheeting which is attached to this, must be removed if wind speeds of over 100 km/h are expected.

Using the slab shoe corner RCS 16.3 on non-rectangular corners results in a range of applica-tion of min. 65° and max. 115°.

The anchor arrangement is determined by the edge distance in the direction of force of 600 mm and through the intersecting point distance of the slab shoe axes to the slab edge of 300 mm.

Going below the lateral edge distance of 300 mm for the anchorage should not be undertaken with-out additional verification. Additional edging rein-forcement in the slab might be required.

Important! • The mounting height is shifted by 125 mm to

the top edge of the slab (mounting height of the standard slab shoe).

• To ensure even mounting of all panels, addi-tional spacers have to be positioned in the climbing rail.

• If the climbing unit is to be moved with the self-climbing device, the mounting height must not change for each panel.

Note: • The Slab Stopend Shoe RCS transfers verti-

cal forces by contact into the slab edge. Then the anchoring is loaded with pure tension forces.

• Due to the slot hole in the Slab Stopend Shoe RCS at slab corners, two Slab Stopend Anchors can be installed crosswise and verti-cally offset.

• Required anchoring depth, additional rein-forcement, reshoring and concrete strength according to separate static calculation.

• To minimize the hazard due to falling off con-nection parts 27.2/27.3/27.4 during disas-sembly, a trailing catching box 30 can be at-tached to the climbing unit. Alternatively the affected area has to be clearly cordoned off or protected by safety roofs.

60 / 61 Copyright PERI GmbH, Germany E1 Cleaning and Maintenance

Part E General Information

E1 Cleaning and Maintenance Why? • During cleaning, ensure components are

safely stored! • Components may not be cleaned whilst still

attached to the crane! • Remove any concrete surplus!

• Spray new formwork and new brackets on all sides before first use with a release agent e.g. PERI BIO Clean

Provides good protection against sticking and corrosion before first dirt accumulation. Prevents complete moistening with a release agent.

• Spray formwork every time after striking with a release agent, then clean.

Helps to remove concrete surplus and makes cleaning easier. Removing by force or scraping off is not necessary. Formlining and paint remain intact.

• For longer storage periods, e.g. bad weather, store components in clean condition and sprayed. Any damage to the paintwork is to be repaired with anti-corrosion paint.

Steel components are protected against corrosion and the formlining against weathering.

• Spray (grease if necessary) moving parts regularly with a release agent.

Removes rust, prevents corrosion and keeps parts in good working order.

• Ensure that elements and accessories are properly stored.

Prevents damage to the components. Damage to the formlining through any indentations is avoided.

• Never use unnecessary force during assem-bly and dismantling.

Maintains the functionality of the parts as well as faster re-use.

E2 Transport Why? • Move components with suitable and secure

transport means and lifting gear. Avoids damage caused by inappropriate transport means.

• Dismantle platforms, form storage units, and combine into transportation units.

Small parts are not lost, assembly groups remain together.

• Place pieces of timber between the elements. Secure transportation units e.g. steel bands or scaffold tubes.

Securing parts will be protected; dents, shifting of elements or falling on top of each other is avoided.

• Secure transportation units with suitable load-securing equipment.

Elements remain firmly in position during transpor-tation – no shifting or falling.

E3 Storage Why? • Store all components in bundles. Use closed

containers. Parts can be found and used faster. Damageable and smaller components as well as tools are pro-tected.

• Avoid direct contact with the ground and wa-ter. Storage in an inclined position is possible.

Components are protected from dirt, dampness and corrosion. Storage bundles are supported on timber pieces.
