Start of Unidome in Eschborn Gate high-rise project
After the first Unidome delivery to the Eschborn Gate construction site, the assembly of the sustainable Unidome void former elements on site in Eschborn was successfully started. With a first delivery in a truck, the concrete shapers were delivered for around 2,300 square meters of void former space. This already replaces around 25 deliveries with concrete trucks. Many more deliveries will follow in the next few months to the high-rise project, which is seeking LEED certification in platinum.
The Eschborn Gate high-rise project uses Unidome hollow body technology as an integral part of a modern, sustainable flat ceiling. The Unidome concrete formers and plasticconcrete shapers used enable significant concrete savings and a noticeable reduction in CO₂ emissions through targeted concrete displacement. The unidome void former modules used enable targeted displacement of concrete in areas subject to less static stress. This results in a high load capacity while at the same time reducing dead load, which is particularly advantageous for building construction projects with large spans. In combination with their resource-saving effect, Unidome void former modules represent an ideal solution for achieving demanding sustainability goals.
Through the resulting material efficiency, relieving pressure on concrete foundations and optimising load distribution, Unidome construction makes an important contribution to future-oriented and resource-saving construction — in line with climate protection and sustainable urban development.
We would like to thank everyone involved for allowing us to be part of the project.
