The Project
Impressions from the project process
One climbing system – two climbing methods: with protection provided by the RCS climbing protection panel, the two twisting Absolute World towers rose steadily upwards in regular weekly cycles.
Absolute Tower South: the three uppermost floors under construction are completely enclosed.
Protected by the RCS climbing protection panel, safe and fast forming was carried out even at great heights using SKYDECK.
Two landing platforms were integrated in the RCS protection panel solution. These allowed fast and simple transport of materials.
On the northern tower, the RCS enclosure climbed upwards at an angle – hydraulically and therefore crane-independent using RCS self-climbing devices.
Climbing protection panel and landing platforms move upwards to the next storey at an angle of between 21 and 26 degrees.
Mobile RCS hydraulic cylinders and pumps lift the climbing units up to the next concreting section.
Absolute World, two spectacular high-rise buildings which have had a major impact on the city skyline.

We decided to use PERI RCS in this project for three reasons: safety for workers and for the traffic below, productivity to achieve one floor pour in 5 to 6 days and schedule improvement to avoid lost days due to wind or weather conditions.
