In the lower cycles the cast-in-place building construction sections open up towards the top before the walls start sloping toward each other again. Large-area formwork Top 100 tec is used for precise fabrication of walls, some of which are 18.00 m high and inclined up to 23.5°

Formwork panel positioning demands an unusually high level of precision. It is aligned by means of a tachymeter and checked several times prior to pouring the concrete.

All of the assembly work for these highly sophisticated formwork panels is completed at the Doka Pre-assembly Service.
