Perfect form and function: At Fontana Infinity, PASCHAL formwork solutions are fit for a king
The
experienced duo of PASCHAL and Kooheji have successfully completed another
outstanding project in Bahrain: Fontana Infinity Towers.
Fontana Infinity rises up
in the heart of Bahrain as a unique real estate project that not only offers
luxuri-ous living but also integrates world-class tourism fa-cilities and
services.
This ambitious project
consists of two majestic tow-ers - Tower A with 45 floors and Tower B with 46
floors - on a total built-up area of around 125,350 m².
Within the space separating
the two towers is a trop-ical oasis with green gardens, a “lazy river” and an
artificial beach, as well as Bahrain's largest recrea-tional swimming pool.
Kooheji Contractors, a
long-time PASCHAL partner and one of the country's leading project developers,
took on the central role as main contractor in the im-plementation of this
prestigious project.
Unbeatable
formwork
To achieve the in-situ
concrete structures, Kooheji Contractors once again relied on PASCHAL's
out-standing formwork solutions. PASCHAL's formwork systems set the standard
for successful construction projects in terms of speed, precision and
cost-effectiveness.
In both towers, the lift
cores, stairwells, shear walls and columns were formed with around 600 m² of
modular/GE universal formwork and as a NeoR ex-tension. This formwork system
proved to allow ex-tremely flexible implementation, especially in com-bination
with other products
PASCHAL climbing brackets
were used to form the external walls. 2,000 m² of PASCHAL Deck slab formwork
were used for the concrete slabs of both towers.
Hand-in-hand
to a masterpiece
The partnership with
PASCHAL dates back to Kooheji Contractors’ early days as a construction
company. Today, Fontana Infinity once again un-derscores the outstanding
partnership between Kooheji Contractors as project developer and PAS-CHAL.
The fusion of innovative
formwork technology and excellent construction management has contributed
significantly to creating a new jewel of modern archi-tecture that impressively
combines luxury, comfort and design.
