AMECO and PERI Have Teamed to Deliver Integrated Scaffold Solutions to Power Industry

GREENVILLE, SC & ELKRIDGE, MD(August 27, 2024) – PERI, one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of formwork and scaffolding systems for today’s construction environment; and AMECO, the Site Services® Company providing everything a construction project or operating facility needs to be work-ready no matter the scale or complexity, are driving greater efficiency and safety in the power industry on construction sites, planned maintenance, and outages through collaboration and teamwork between the two companies.

At the heart of the collaboration is AMECO’s Integrated Scaffold Solutions, which support pre-construction planning to ensure an optimized scaffold build in commercial and industrial operations. Powered by innovation and 3D modeling, the program aims to eliminate unnecessary costs and reduce labor requirements by improving efficiencies and productivity through planning, development of scaffold work packages, and utilizing PERI’s unique scaffolding material. Pre-planning identifies potential clashes and areas where re-work will be required ahead of time so they can be planned for, improving craft worker efficiency and time on tools. In addition, detailed pre-planning allows for accurate material forecasting, limiting waste and unplanned freight costs. PERI is the preferred scaffolding material provider through the program, which gives customers access to both brands’ full suite of solutions.

The combination of best-of-breed products and expert consultation drives cost savings, especially when scaffolding labor can account for up to 40% of indirect labor costs on a construction project. The approach also creates a functionally safer scaffolding system on-site and enables workers to focus on completing their tasks on schedule.

“At PERI, we are proud to be part of an effort that promotes safety through proper scaffolding planning and installation, especially at a time when the entire industry is affected by the shortage in skilled workers,” said Stephan Schramm, vice president of sales at PERI. “With the use of a system such as PERI UP®, we’re driving productivity in ways that are not available to teams using traditional scaffolding systems. That, in turn, can translate into total project savings.”

The PERI UP® scaffolding system is uniquely designed to eliminate the safety hazards of traditional scaffolding, such as overhead tool use, handling of heavy pieces, and gaps in decking that result in trips, falls, or drops. The reusability of the PERI UP® system allows the material to be cycled through a variety of projects, saving time, labor, and money while enhancing on-site environmental impact reduction efforts.

"AMECO is offering a competitive advantage to our customers with the most work-ready scaffold systems from PERI as part of our complete site services offering,” said AMECO vice president of integrated scaffold solutions, Jim Taylor. “This allows us to introduce the benefits of PERI scaffolding material to the power industry specifically and boost the awareness and efficacy of both AMECO’s and PERI’s solutions to the marketplace.”
