Multiple
underground level buildings, located in crowded urban areas need the
implementation of complex construction methods, able to guarantee their
solidity. One of the most efficient solutions is the top-down construction.
OCTAGON CONTRACTING &
ENGINEERING has used this
procedure frequently, for the construction of several office buildings.
The main
benefit of this method consists in the fact that the infrastructure and
the superstructure of the building can be executed simultaneously,
reducing significantly the execution term.
The construction method was adopted at the beginning of the ‘60s, but
it is still used by a limited number of constructors,
as this is not a procedure easy to apply: excavation under the floor is
difficult to perform.
Top- down
construction is performed in several stages.
OCTAGON started
to use the top- down construction method to execute the infrastructure
of the tallest office building in Bucharest: Sky Tower (Barbu
Vacarescu Blvd). The company built three reinforced concrete floors, of 4,600
sqm each.
Between 2010- 2011, OCTAGON built the foundation
and the structure of the underground levels 3 and 4 of building A,
within Hermes Business Campus complex (5-7 Dimitrie Pompeiu Blvd-
Bucharest).
The company used the
top- down system to build the office
projects Cathedral Plaza (General
Berthelot), Charles de Gaulle Plaza (Charles
de Gaulle Square) and the four star hotel Novotel
(Calea Victoriei).
