The project has about 2 plots,in one plot there are 4 buildings with 12 floors and a basement floor. In the second lot there are 4 buildings with 12 floors and a basement floor. The ACRO tower system was used to support the ground ceilings. The aluminum towers were used to support sliding balconies to heights of 18-25 m from the ground. In addition, the POST&BEAM system with aluminum beams was used for formwork and ceiling support for typical floors and the basement floor.
In order to cast the walls of the elevator shafts and the stairs, platforms were used. The cantilever scaffolding is designed for the full extent of the 6 buildings. The project started in 2021 and will be completed towards the end of 2023.
