Within a 2-3 year period, a total of 86,400 flights are simulated which is three times the expected service life. The PERI UP working scaffold allows test preparations as well as continuous measurement and inspection work to be carried out during the EF-2 testing phase.

Airbus A350 XWB Test Stand, Germany
Erding, Germany

  • Approval tests on the new wide-bodied Airbus A350 XWB in a specially erected testing facility
  • Scaffold solution for test preparations as well as continuous measurement and inspection work
  • Time-consuming fatigue tests on the fuselage and wings through a simulation of 86,400 flights (equivalent to three times the expected service life) within a period of 2-3 years
  • Two different endurance tests: EF-2 test (middle fuselage section including centre wing box and both wings) and EW test (systematic application of stress on the wing up to the analytical breaking load point)


Client: IABG Industrieanlagen-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH, Ottobrunn

Location
Erding
Main Application
Industrial Structures
  • Benefits
    Optimal adjustment of the working levels required for the fuselage and wings – whilst taking into account the steel and hydraulic constructions as well as ensuring that all access points were kept clear
  • Benefits
    Modifications with system components in 25-cm increments – without any time-consuming tube-and-coupler assembly
  • Benefits
    Reduced surface weight
  • Benefits
    System combination of PERI UP with VARIOKIT

The recipe for success is the modularity and adaptability of the PERI UP scaffolding system – as well as the combinability with other products in the PERI portfolio. Furthermore, the project support provided by the PERI engineers was very professional and extremely positive.
