Another tower is added to the ones built so far with the use of U-Boot® Beton of Daliform Group.
We are in Paris, more exactly at La Défense, where the Tour Alto will be inaugurated in 2020: about 6.000 sqm of slabs realized with our product in 35 floors, for a total of 150 m of height and a surface from 700 sqm on the first floor up to 1.500 sqm on the highest floor. It is thanks to this particular characteristic of the building that the U-Boot® Beton System was chosen: versatile, adaptable to non-standard spaces and different layouts. Furthermore, it well fitted with the need to reduce as much as possible the slabs weight and to obtain large spans up to over 18 meters.
Another key point in favour of Daliform Group was the ability to adapt the logistics to the building site, by studying a special packaging to supply the exact quantity of formworks and to be able to deliver them to a construction site characterized by an extremely reduced handling space.

Daliform Group has started a very prestigious project in Geneva, more exactly in Plan-les-Ouates.

We are talking about Espace Tourbillon, a 95.000 smq complex that includes the construction of 5 buildings to host offices, apartments, restaurants, shops, storage areas and various public spaces. Furthermore, the tramway line will be ended in 2019 and guarantee a direct connection with the city’s key points.

All the above-ground slabs – around 85.000 smq – are under construction with our system U-Boot® Beton, preferred to other solutions of lightened slabs, for its versatility, easy installation and storage: an essential advantage if you think about the organization of the goods in a so great building site, located in a high urbanized area.

The end of the works is expected for 2021 and Espace Tourbillon is expected to bring economic and commercial benefits to the city and the entire Switzerland.

They are two towers, designed by the great French architect Jean Nouvel to give an unrivalled level of comfort and to develop new ways of working; located on the railway station’s quarter of the 13th arrondissement of Paris, they will reach a significant height of 180 and 122 meters, accommodating respectively 39 and 29 floors.

Daliform Group supplied 2.500 sqm of Iglù® Plus for the treatment of the polluted soil and for the realisation of refills on the foundation floor, facilitating the passage of utilities, with the purpose of improving the organisation of the available spaces.

The works started in late March 2017 and are expected to end in 2020, when Parisians and non-Parisians, could benefit from new offices, shops, restaurants and a luxury hotel.

 

Once it is over, it will be the greatest shopping centre in Tunisia: we are talking about the “Mall of Sousse”.

A really prestigious project, in which Daliform Group is protagonist with the great supply of U-Boot® Beton for the realisation of 65.000 sqm of slab. The system was chosen by one of the most important design studio in Tunis, for its countless advantages. First of all, the opportunity to obtain performing slab structures, with important savings on concrete if compared to a full slab of the same thickness. This saving corresponds to a reduction in the self-weight of the slabs, a significant decrease in the incidence of steel reinforcement and the optimization of the elevation structures (pillars, columns, shear-walls) and foundation structures.

The first stone was laid by the Tunisian Republic’s President on October 4, 2017 and the works are going on very well now; the shopping center will be probably open to the public at the beginning of 2019. People will find about 120 shops, a big supermarket, a cinema, a great restaurant area and much more.

«A real “living room” in the city center, complete with underground parking»: this is the beginning of the article’s subheading on the “Eco” of Bergamo of May 19^th, which introduces the new “Setti” Square in Treviglio (Bergamo) – Italy.

This is a really important project above all for its values of union, conviviality and security, in wich Daliform Group had part in the realization of the underground parking with 2 floors, where we can find 219 car parks.

The product employed is U-Boot® Beton. Thanks to it, it was possible to maximized the potential of lightened slabs in order to obtain large spans between the vertical structures.

In this way it was possible to create more spacious areas and obtain the largest number of parking places possible, and at the same time guaranteeing excellent performance in terms of fire resistance.
