Construction Techniques:
60 foot tall exposed round atrium columns required collaboration with Doka Formwork using Tekla Structures for 3D modeling of formwork and scaffolding.
3D BIM model using Tekla Structures
Radiant heat and cooling in the slabs
Exposed sand blasted site walls
Different slab edge on each floor
Most of the concrete was poured at night to avoid delivery delays and traffic congestion
