Mixed Use Development, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Customised combinations of modern formwork systems
The Sheikh Zayed Road is the main transportation axis of Dubai and connects virtually all areas of this modern desert state. The face of the 12-lane motorway, which in the meantime has a considerably improved infrastructure through the Dubai Metro, has been re-defined through the addition of two new distinctive highrise towers. The building complex with 58 and 55 floors respectively, stands out through its slim structural shape and features a multiple-folded glass facade as an architectural highlight.
Two rectangular-shaped reinforced concrete cores brace the 58-storey hotel tower. These were crane-independently climbed with the help of ACS self-climbing technology with concreting cycle heights of 3.85 m. VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork was used to form the up to 75 cm thick walls. The 55-storey apartment tower has an unusually long central core with a length of 38 m long and an 8 m width. Also for these 1 m thick walls, as well as the return walls positioned on the left and on the right, customised self-climbing formwork was used for the formwork, concreting and climbing procedures without crane support – likewise on the basis of the ACS system and VARIO wall formwork.
The broad PERI product range and optimized logistical operations through only one formwork partner simplified and accelerated the construction progress. This meant, for example, that the VARIO wall formwork system could be used extremely versatilely: for forming the core walls as well as constructing the walls and columns in the base levels. In addition, SB brace frames, MULTIFLEX slab formwork and PD 8 slab tables ensured that formworking operations were carried out very efficiently.
