Innovative architectureIn 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 timingAs 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.
