key features

Composites elements: FRP façade panels.

Why composites: GRP was chosen as it is significantly lighter than GRC, allowing the project to save 500 tons of steel framework.
Weight
The use of FRP saved 500 tons of steel support structure compared to traditional materials.
Cost
Significant cost savings were achieved in infrastructure, plant equipment, and installation time.
Strength
The composite parts were not only lightweight, but also self-supporting, removing the need for additional structural support.
Durability
The panels are resistant to extreme weather conditions.
Maintenance
Minimal to no maintenance is required, unlike steel, which is prone to corrosion.
LCA/Environmental Impact
The lightweight panels reduced the need for transport and installation equipment. They are expected to require no replacement for 50 years.

Fire, Smoke, Toxicity. This was the first solution to offer high-rise composite façades compliant with building code fire regulations.
Other
Lightweight and easier to install compared to traditional materials.
