Impressions from the project process
Overall view of the museum complex. Through the TRIO panel formwork, the high requirements on the concrete surfaces have been fully met.
With customized VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork, those areas featuring two counter-positioned inclinations can easily be aligned.
The TRIO panel formwork allows the construction of the 13.50 m high walls with variable inclinations. Up to 14 m long RS push-pull props ensure the correct alignment of the elements.
The MXP platform system provides the maximum level of safety during anchor operations and when connecting the elements, and exactly matches the element widths of the TRIO.

Having taken all possibilities into consideration, we chose the TRIO and VARIO wall formwork systems for realising the inclined walls of the Lascaux project. The handling of the TRIO elements is simple and practical at the same time, and the inclined surfaces could be joined together without any problems whatsoever – in spite of the changes in inclination between the individual wall sections. After carrying out some adjustments, the VARIO formwork proved to be a very sensible choice for forming the adjacent walls with counter-positioned inclinations.
