    The challenge of commercial and residential construction

    Competition on the property

    market has intensified dramatically

    in the last few years. Increasingly

    complex buildings have to be

    erected at ever lower cost. At the

    same time, the demand for affor-

    dable residential space is growing

    in many cities of the world. The

    economic pressure on clients andbuilding contractors in commercial

    and residential construction has

    thus increased immensely. It is

    essential that construction projects

    are quickly and efficiently handled

    so that the usually tight framework

    of deadlines and costs can be com-

    plied with. Everyone involved on

    the site, from architects and trades-

    men through to service providers

    and suppliers, has to work hand inglove to keep operations running

    smoothly and safely.

    Landmark projectsfor urban designOften, large buildings in the com-

    mercial and residential sector not

    only serve a functional purpose,

    but are also iconic in character.

    As well as advertising the compa-

    ny in question, extravagant busi-

    ness complexes also stand out aslandmarks in the urban setting. The

    same applies to attractive residential

    Commercial and residential construction

    the intelligent combination of function and design

    Increasingly extravagant architecture with growing pressure on costs this balancing act can

    only be mastered if everyone concerned works closely together and knows what really matters.

    developments and lavishly desig-

    ned leisure centres offering citizens

    added value and enhanced quality

    of life. This is also accompanied by

    high expectations of the architectu-

    ral design, which far transcends the

    mere organization of building func-

    tions. It has become an art form in

    its own right, finding expression in

    unusual building geometries andintricate faade structures.

    Extreme roof pitches, angled slab

    structures, elliptical building corpu-

    ses, curves and projections these

    are just some examples of the

    unusual architectural features enjoy-

    ing growing popularity. However,

    the buildings appearance must not

    impose constraints on function: the

    buildings function and design must

    form a coherent unit. This places

    severe demands on the standardof execution particularly, for

    example, if the surfaces are to have

    fair face quality. As these surfaces

    remain visible on the finished struc-

    ture, the formwork and linings have

    to satisfy special criteria to achieve

    the desired results.

    Standardized elementssave time and moneyBecause of their special architec-

    tural features, large commercialand residential projects cannot be

    executed with conventional proce-

    dures. Instead, it is important to

    assess each construction situation

    on its own terms and develop spe-

    cial solutions this applies as much

    to the formwork solutions as to

    access. It is therefore advisable to

    resort as far as possible to system

    solutions and standard elements

    and only to use time- and cost-

    intensive custom solutions where

    there is no alternative. This is oneway of significantly relieving the

    strain on the construction budget.

    Since custom solutions cannot

    always be avoided for the complex

    architecture of modern large-scale

    construction projects, designers,

    architects and clients should make

    sure when selecting the various

    service providers that the cus-

    tom and system elements can

    be readily combined. Ideally, the

    choice of access and formworksolutions should go to a supplier

    that has compatible systems for

    differing requirements that permit

    the combination of as many stan-

    dard elements as possible. Such

    system solutions make it possible,

    for instance, to move large areas

    of formwork in a single crane lift,

    which not only reduces the number

    of uses but also yields conside-

    rable cost savings. It also makes

    practical and economic sense forformwork elements used at the

    edges of buildings to be equipped

    in advance with sockets for safety

    elements such as railings. This

    saves time-consuming installation

    on site. However, this is only

    possible if the service provider is

    involved in construction planning

    early on so that he can design the

    formwork plan and prepare the

    various elements.

    Firm platform forworking in safetyThe productivity of the working

    environment depends to a large

    extent on its safety. So that bud-

    gets and deadlines can be met,

    it is therefore indispensable to

    accord high priority to safety on the

    building site. For large construction

    projects in the residential, com-

    mercial and leisure sectors, where

    different trades and possibly diffe-

    rent nationalities come together,

    ongoing safety management isessential, extending from instruc-

    tion on product choice through to

    regular safety checks.

    The access and scaffold solutions

    must ensure that workers can

    access all areas of the building safely

    and directly. Only then can trades-

    men concentrate fully on their work

    and make rapid progress. In the

    case of irregular building geome-

    tries, uneven floors, projectingelements and narrow surfaces,

    work platforms mast-climbing

    or elevating work platforms are

    capable of saving an enormous

    amount of labour and are in some

    cases indispensable. Thanks to

    their rapid erection, they permit

    efficient operations: men, materials

    and tools reach their destinations

    quickly via these platforms, without

    those working above and belowthe platform being seriously im-

    peded in their activities. Different

    trades can thus work simultaneous-

    ly without difficulty. If the ground

    has limited load-bearing capacity,

    this is not a problem, as platforms

    can be anchored to walls and in

    this way ensure safety and high

    productivity. To make this possible,

    clients should again consult service

    providers early on in the planning

    process so that suitable solutionscan be found for the specific pro-

    ject situation.

    Sites with limited spacecall for space-saving storageDuring the construction of com-

    mercial and residential buildings

    in inner-city locations, adjacent

    buildings may hamper operations.

    The construction site is often very

    cramped, with little space available

    for storing materials. This is where

    system solutions that save spacewhen stored score well. Ideally, the

    right items are supplied precisely

    when they are needed. Essential

    for this is a clear overall picture of

    progress on site and continuous

    controlling. And this pays off in

    several respects. Tightly organized

    project management prevents

    delays and helps to exploit cost-

    saving potential.

    Case study: Manchester Civil Justice Centre, UK

    When the Civil Justice Building

    in Manchester opened its doors

    in 2007, it was the biggest court

    building to be built in England

    in over 120 years. In the year of

    its opening, it received severalawards for its architecture and

    environmental profile. 47 court-

    rooms and hearing rooms as well

    as numerous offices are accom-

    modated here. The characteristic

    feature of the 16-storey building

    is its fingers projecting up to

    15 metres outwards from the

    sides of the central atrium and

    housing the courtrooms.

    A big challenge during its con-struction was to create safe work

    platforms for work on the atrium

    faade and other parts of the buil-

    ding. The glass panes weighing up

    to 650 kg had to be installed from

    a safe position.

    Harsco Infrastructure accepted

    the challenge and supplied and

    installed 3 kilometres of masts for

    the 21 mast-climbing platforms

    with heights of up to 100 metres.

    To fit the large glass surfaces tothe faade, electric winches were

    used, secured on rails between

    the tops of the masts. In this way,

    working from the platforms, the

    glaziers were able to fit the glass

    panes safely and swiftly. Due

    to the complex faade structure,

    some of the masts could only

    be anchored from a height of

    30 metres. The solution here was

    to erect two double-masted work

    platforms back-to-back to achieve

    stability.

    Case study: Rhein-Galerie Ludwigshafen, Germany

    The Rhein-Galerie, a new shopping

    centre with about 120 shops and

    food & drink outlets occupying

    about 30,000 square metres of

    retail space, opened in September

    2010. The 400 metre long and

    80 metre wide building complex

    consists of two retail levels above

    which parking space is provided on

    two further levels. Particularly con-

    spicuous is the roof structure with

    its unusual landmark function.

    The project involved shuttering

    over 82,000 square metres of

    surface, with the walls of almost

    47,000 square metres accounting

    for the lions share. The in most

    cases curved, up to 9 metre high

    walls of the new shopping gallery

    form a total of ten elliptical building

    elements with radii ranging from

    11.2 to 17.55 metres. The other

    formwork challenges included the

    dual-lane helical access ramps to

    the multi-storey car park and the

    14 rectangular building cores of for

    staircases and lift shafts.

    In close consultation with the cli-

    ent, Harsco Infrastructure produced

    about 300 A0 plans in preparation

    for shuttering the geometrically

    extremely complex building ele-

    ments of the Rhein-Galerie. The

    key element here was RONDA

    circular formwork, of which almost

    1,200 square metres were kept

    on site. In those areas where the

    radii of the ellipse were too small

    to be shuttered with RONDA, the

    custom formwork carpenters went

    into action.

    Compared to these complicated

    curves, the shuttering of the rectan-

    gular building cores and slabs was

    relatively straightforward. They were

    poured with MANTO large-frame

    formwork and TOPFLEX timber

    beam formwork on ID 15 towers.

    Case study: Bratislava Castle, Slovakia

    Bratislava Castle is situated on a

    rock 85 metres above the shores of

    the Danube in the southern part of

    the Little Carpathians at the inter-

    section of European trading routes.

    Records of the castle go back to

    the year 805. After a turbulent his-

    tory, it was gutted by a fire at the

    beginning of the 19th century. Fol-

    lowing the Second World War, the

    castle was rebuilt and in 2008, with

    the support of Harsco Infrastructure,

    extensively restored. Today, the

    castle is used as a museum and for

    stately purposes.

    Restoration work on historic buil-

    dings always imposes restrictions

    on access at height. So as not todamage the walls, the tying points

    for the scaffolds have to be sen-

    sibly planned. In addition, archaeo-

    logical excavations often make it

    impossible to stand the scaffolds

    on the ground as was the case

    in Bratislava on the western and

    northern sides of the castle.

    Harsco Infrastructure was the

    exclusive supplier of scaffolds for

    the restoration of Bratislava Castle

    and devised the scaffold strategy.

    About 25,000 square metres of

    frame scaffolds and 23,000 cubic

    metres of modular scaffolds were

    in use during the project, giving

    access to tradesmen working on

    the interior and exterior of the

    building. In those areas where

    it wasnt possible to stand the

    scaffolds on the ground, they were

    fastened with brackets to the walls.

    The brackets were anchored with

    special composite anchors thatminimize damage to the historic

    building fabric and carry high loads.

    In the interior, scaffolding the Royal

    Staircase was a special challenge,

    as the domes on different levels

    had to be taken into account.

    Case study: Mokotowska Square, Warsaw, Poland

    On behalf of the Polish property

    company Yareal Polska, the office

    building of the former headquar-

    ters of the metals trading com-

    pany in Warsaw has undergone

    renovation. In this prime location

    at Mokotowska Square, 8,500

    square metres of highly modern

    office space and 1,100 square me-

    tres of retail space are being crea-

    ted, inclusive of an underground

    car park. To make this possible,

    the interior has been fully stripped

    and the faade lovingly restored.

    Because of the buildings inner-

    city location, space on the con-

    struction site and vehicle access

    are restricted. The buildingsarchitecture consists of square

    and round columns with a rein-

    forced concrete slab laid on top.

    Like the slabs, the walls, columns

    and shafts are cast in place. A

    cost-effective formwork solution

    was therefore sought for this that

    would also be compatible with the

    tight deadlines.

    Harsco Infrastructure was selec-

    ted as the formwork supplier on

    the strength of its flexibility and

    speed. The columns and walls

    were shuttered with MANTO

    large-frame formwork. Ten diffe-

    rent panel sizes were employed,

    some of them height-extended.

    MANTO was also used for reinfor-

    cing the columns on the faades

    with a new layer of concrete.

    The slabs were shuttered with

    TOPEC modular formwork with

    dropheads attached. This techno-

    logy was used on a grand scale in

    Poland for the first time. Harsco

    took charge of a large part of the

    technical planning for this project

    and carried out training on site.

    Out-of-the-box solution

    Viennas St. Marx district is

    currently in the throes of change.

    With old industries departing,

    forward-looking sectors are sett-

    ling here. This also finds expressi-

    on in an architectural design thatcombines the old with the new.

    The central element is the Marx-

    box, which is being built right next

    to an old abattoir.

    Work has been underway since

    autumn 2008, and the first phase

    of the project, comprising 6,400

    square metres of floor space, was

    completed at the end of 2010. The

    project involved shuttering about

    7,500 square metres of slabs withuniform geometry. The headroom

    ranged from 2.8 to 2.9 metres. On

    the northeast side, the building

    projects outwards and leans over

    the listed entrance of the old abat-

    toir, the so-called Stiertor. This

    projecting structure was the centre-

    piece of the project. The formwork

    solution had to be feasible within

    the envisaged tight time-scale.

    On the basis of the buildings

    geometry, the project developers

    of Harsco Infrastructure found a

    solution that made almost exclu-

    sive use of standard elements

    from the TOPMAX and RASTO

    systems. Time-consuming ad-

    justments using timber were only

    necessary in exceptional cases.

    Another advantage is that the

    Case study: Marxbox Wien, Austria

    TOPMAX table form system is

    highly space-saving and capable

    of carrying high loads. Space-

    saving also means that the

    logistical costs were low, slashed

    in this case by up to 70 per cent.

    Case study: Tour Granite, Paris, France

    In the last few years, Frances

    Socit Gnrale, one of the

    biggest commercial and invest-

    ment banks in the eurozone, has

    been extending its headquarters

    in the Paris La Dfense office

    quarter. A third office tower

    with an impressive height of

    184 metres has now been erected.

    The fabric of the high-rise building

    called for extra-wide self-climbing

    platforms with fully enclosed work

    levels capable of adapting flexibly

    to the challenging building geome-

    try. The equipment used was to be

    safe and strong above all.

    Crane-independent, hydraulically

    powered self-climbing formwork

    from Harsco Infrastructure was

    employed. Overall, roughly

    200 metres of platforms wereused in order to build the partly

    inclined and partly tapering or

    widening external structure of the

    45-storey high-rise building. These

    formed a continuous platform

    system with 2.1 metre high edge

    protection. Not only the work

    platforms but also the trailing

    platforms were fully enclosed

    with wire mesh. The assembly

    areas were clad with boxes during

    rebuilding work to prevent any

    objects from falling.

    At 3.25 metres, the SCF platforms

    used in Paris had unusually wide

    work decks. In operation with

    retracted formwork, they were

    capable of withstanding a dynamic

    load of 0.85 kN/m at wind speeds

    of up to 120 km/h. The brackets

    high load-bearing capacity meant

    that it was possible to create large

    individual platforms that adapted

    perfectly to the towers grid of

    columns.

    Case study: E.ON Ruhrgas headquarters Essen, Germany

    Two 15-storey elliptical towers are

    the eye-catching features of the

    new headquarters of E.ON Ruhr-

    gas, erected on the site of the old

    Gruga Stadium in Essen. Together

    with several 5-storey buildings,

    they have been built over an under-

    ground car park providing 18,000

    square metres of parking space on

    each of the three sublevels.

    This project was marked by tough

    logistical challenges. The site was

    situated in a residential and com-

    mercial area with narrow access

    roads. On the site, little storage

    space was available. Demanding

    from the formwork point of view

    were the various wall surfaces,

    which were single-face, round or

    with multiple curves the tasks

    were manifold. Over 160,000

    square metres of walls and slabs

    had to be shuttered.

    Harsco Infrastructure was selected

    as the sole formwork supplier and

    handled both the technical form-

    work planning as well as on-site

    supervision by formwork foremenduring construction. To shutter the

    walls, custom elements based on

    H 20 large-area formwork were

    employed. For the slabs, TOPEC

    modular formwork injected extra

    pace into construction progress.

    For the construction of this huge

    complex, Harsco Infrastructure

    also supplied the edge protection:

    the flights of stairs, edges of the

    formwork and slabs, and exposed

    peripheries of certain concrete

    sections were reliably secured

    with the PROTECTO edge protec-

    tion system. In conformity withthe safety strategy, the formwork

    panels and table forms used at the

    edges were supplied with ready-

    fitted sockets and posts.

    Case study: Golden Terrace, Warsaw, Poland

    With floor space of about 200,000

    square metres, the Golden Terrace

    in Warsaw is one of Europes

    biggest shopping centres. Along

    with numerous pubs and restau-

    rants, visitors can also patronize

    discotheques, a theatre and a

    sports studio. Owing to its striking

    architecture, the centre has

    become a landmark of the Polish

    capital.

    Challenge: Development of an efficientformwork strategy using standard

    and custom forms for a shopping

    centre with 200,000 square

    metres of floor space

    Project completion: 2007

    Materials used: MANTO, RASTO, TOPEC,

    TOPFLEX and CS 240 L

    Perfect blend of standard and custom solutions

    However, because of the central

    location of the shopping centre

    in the inner city and close to

    the railway station, deliveries

    of materials during construction

    proved to be a major challenge.

    This task was exacerbated further

    by the monumental size of the

    surfaces requiring shuttering:

    60,000 square metres of walls

    and 110,000 square metres of

    slabs had to be poured. It was

    therefore all the more important

    to find efficient solutions for the

    construction of the wall and slab

    surfaces.

    Harsco Infrastructure developed

    an efficient formwork strategy ofstandard and custom solutions for

    the project. Formwork systems

    worth almost 10 million were in

    use. Safety, precision and punc-

    tual completion were assured by

    MANTO large-frame formwork

    for the walls and TOPEC modular

    formwork for the slabs. Custom

    forms were used for the construc-

    tion of the angled, arching columns.

    A combination of MANTO system

    formwork and individually shapedtimber elements were used for

    this. Quite unusual was also the

    parallel use of 74 brackets of

    CS 240 L climbing scaffold that

    carried the wall forms for the four

    shafts of the personnel lifts.

    Case study: The Wave, Velje, Denmark

    On the coast of the Velje Fjord,

    an architecturally remarkable apart-

    ment complex, now a landmark in

    the region, was built from 2006

    to 2009. In 2010, the building was

    awarded the title of Residential

    Building of the Year. The complex

    blends in an unusual way into the

    landscape, the form of which is

    mirrored in the architecture.

    A special difficulty in the construc-

    tion of the Wave was the undu-

    lating shape of the building ex-

    pressed in its name. This gave rise

    to roof pitches of up to 37 degrees

    which were beyond the scope of

    conventional access equipment.

    Harsco Infrastructure therefore

    developed an access solution

    consisting of 8 double-mast and

    4 single-mast climbing platforms,

    which gave roofers and glaziers

    safe access to the roof and faa-

    de. For the extreme pitches, the

    project planners came up with a

    custom solution in which except-

    ionally load-bearing HEK PROMAX

    work platforms were employed.

    For the gables, mast-climbing plat-forms with adjustable booms were

    also used.
