The U.S.-based Las Vegas Sands Corporation is the owner of the complex which comes complete with
convention centre, casino, theatres, museum ?and the highly visible hotel towers. With help of the
PERI formwork and scaffolding solution, these rise steadily upwards with each floor being
completed in only four days (caption & photograph courtesy of PERI GmbH)

At the end of 2009, after a construction period of only two years, a platform will be in place at the top
which connects the towers together (caption & photograph courtesy of PERI GmbH)

The PERI formwork and scaffolding solution takes into
consideration the three differently curved building geometries
with the offset and continually changing floors

In each case, two floors are simultaneously shuttered with the PERI SKYTABLE large-area slab tables

With the PERI ACS self-climbing system, the elevator shafts are constructed without the need of a crane.
The subsequent floor slabs can be pre-tensioned from the finishing platforms
