| Abstract: |
Ashalim solar tower is the tallest solar tower in the world, reaching a height of 240m. Its unique design allows the solar receiver to be lifted inside the tower, up to the top, resulting in an optimised construction plan but also in a very complex geometry, which required specific wind tunnel tests, as well as a challenging structural design and high expertise in formwork technology. |
