Application:

Due to the high dynamic loads of the Capital Gate Tower, the load-bearing walls of the building are reinforced and prestressed with SAS prestressing bars 835/1035. Conventional reinforcement bars are effectively replaced by SAS prestressing bars due to their high load-bearing capacities, while simultaneously reducing the number of required reinforcement bars. The 35 floors of the Capital Gate Tower – with a total area of 50,000 m² – are used as office spaces and a hotel.

Scope of delivery:

49 prestressing bars SAS 835/1035 Ø 65 mm, length 16 m,
160 anchor plates, cone 30°, 195 anchor nuts, convex 30°,
160 couplings, standard as well as stressing couplings and stressing anchorages.
