Glenium SKY selected in the construction of southeastern Europe's tallest tower: the Avaz Twist Tower 


 Customer requirements:

  Our solution: 

  •  Concrete permitting a slender construction style while ensuring safety and stability at the same time
  • Concrete that can be pumped up to the highest floors
  • A product combining early and final strength
  • Flexible concrete processing time  
 
  • The Glenium SKY® 510 superplasticizer
  • Individual technical support from BASF

Innovative architecture

In order to construct a twisted structure while retaining an especially delicate look, narrow cross-beams and flat floor panels were called for. Glenium SKY®510 gives concrete structures the required high strength in spite of the lean and slender construction. Moreover, Glenium SKY® also extends the building's service life.


Easy to process and flexible timing

As Glenium SKY® 510 adds workability to concrete and ensures a long processing time, it was an easy matter to pump the concrete up to the highest levels of the 40-story building.  Most important of all was a flexible processing time for the product, because the city's traffic congestion made it very difficult to predict the concrete's transportation times.
