Start of Unidome in Eschborn Gate high-rise project

With the first delivery to the Eschborn Gate construction site, the assembly of the sustainable Unidome void former elements has successfully begun. The concrete shapers were delivered in a single truck for around 2,300 square meters of void former space — this equates to a saving of around 25 trips with concrete trucks. In the coming months, numerous more deliveries will be made to implement this pioneering high-rise project, which is aimed at LEED certification in platinum.

Eschborn Gate uses proven Unidome void former technology as an integral part of a modern and sustainable flat slab. The plastic concrete shapers used specifically displace concrete in areas that are statically less stressed. This achieves a high load capacity while reducing dead load — a decisive advantage for building construction projects with large spans.

The Unidome void former modules not only provide significant concrete savings and a noticeable CO₂ reduction, but also contribute to optimising load distribution and relieving the load on concrete foundations. Through their resource-saving effect, they make an important contribution to material efficiency, cement savings and climate protection. The technology is therefore a key element for sustainable construction in urban areas.
