Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett
What you're seeing is the Peri LPS Lightweight climbing system and it is climbing vertically up the tower. This is used both as worker protection on the working decks, but as additional edge protection for those below. It is the same system used at Millennium Tower a couple of years back.
The hotel portion of this project is post tension concrete and the slab is broken into thirds. The contractor appears to be using table forms for the large areas, but between each of the thirds there is a "pour-strip". The pour strip provides access to the east and west end of the post tension cables so that you can tension them. These infills are picked up about a week later after tensioning, cutting of cables, dressing up the edge of slab. They appear to be using the Peri LPS here because the form system (Peri Sky Deck) is panelized and involves a lot more handwork and opportunity to drop something. Similar reason for use at west and east ends, custom form work, opportunity to drop something
