Towering technology

BBR Network member BBR PTE has played a significant role to the creating of this 250 m high tower in Madrid, Spain.

The Caja Madrid tower is part of the new business area being developed on the northern side of the city, close to the former training facilities of the Real Madrid soccer team. The building’s structure is comprised of two reinforced concrete cores connected to each other at three different levels by two steel trusses which also bear the weight of the twelve floors above them. Different BBR solutions - such as BBR CONA multiple strand tendons, bars, SWIF couplers for rebar and complex heavy-lifting operations - have been applied and performed to keep the project costs low.
