Warsaw Spire, Poland

Warsaw Spire - With a height of 220 m, the new office tower of the "Warsaw Spire" building ensemble will be the tallest office building in Warsaw after completion. Two office buildings flank the tower, each 55 m high.
Warsaw Spire - The optimally adapted PERI climbing formwork solution for the core of the building has ensured a weekly cycle for the floors. The shell enclosing the RCS climbing protection panel is completely enclosed and has provided safe working conditions at all heights and in all weathers for the construction of the shell.
Warsaw Spire - With the customized VARIO GT 24 girder formwork, the construction team achieved the required, high‑quality surfaces of partly elliptical core walls.
Warsaw Spire - The RCS climbing protection panel is equipped with three working platforms that allow access to the slab stopend formwork and also provides sufficient working space for pre-stressing operations. The mobile climbing units lift the enclosure (rail guided) in 50 cm increments from floor to floor.
Warsaw Spire - The proven SKYDECK system supports rapid and systematic forming of large slab areas. For the flanking office buildings, the aluminium panel slab formwork is supplemented with slab tables.
Warsaw Spire - For all reworking on the building facades, PERI has provided PERI UP Rosett facade scaffolding. This scaffold system has also been designed for fast assembly and safe working conditions.
Warsaw Spire - Warsaw Spire: Three structures form the new building complex in the Polish capital. The 220 m high office tower is very distinctive due to its special shape; the floors feature an elliptical ground plan which varies from floor to floor.

Project data

Location: Warsaw, Poland

  • 220 m high office tower (including antennas) – highest office building in Poland after completion
  • 47 floors, each 2.70 m high - in addition, underground garage with 5 levels
  • challenging architecture with oval ground plans which vary from floor to floor
  • building complex is complemented by 2 separate office blocks, each 55 m high

Requirements

  • compliance with a very tight construction schedule
  • high level of safety for construction operations in particular in the form of an all-round enclosure for the office tower
  • efficient self-climbing solution for the core of the office tower
  • lightweight slab formwork with the possibility of early striking
  • access to the top floors of the office tower each time – regardless of the progress made assembling the pre-fabricated stair elements in the building

Customer

Monting Sp. z o.o., Warsaw, Poland

Customer's benefit

  • high level of safety for site personnel in all situations
  • fast construction progress for all 3 structures of the building complex, in particular through the self-climbing solution for the building´s core  and the panel slab formwork with drop head
  • minimization of on-site material requirements and crane time

When choosing the right formwork partner, the key factor that clinched the decision was the fact PERI could show us that they had had special experience in the construction of high-rise buildings. As with previous projects, the PERI specialists constructively solved all technical issues together with our engineers on site. Also in this project, it confirmed once again that the know-how of the supplier, in particular for hydraulic climbing formwork,  has a decisive influence on the successful completion of the project. Long before construction began, we developed an efficient and customized formwork solution together with the planners, contractor and formwork supplier. The experience of PERI has helped us to maintain the tight construction schedule.

PERI solution

  • optimally-adapted ACS self-climbing solution for the core of the office tower
  • climbing protection panel with mobile self-climbing hydraulic units, easily adjustable to suit the changing geometries of each floor, with sufficient working space for pre-stressing the floor slabs
  • RCS landing platform, combined with a supporting VARIOKIT construction for realizing external access points to the building for the height of 4 and 6 floors
  • development of an efficient formwork solution for all walls, columns and floor slabs
