High-Rise
We are proud to be working on many exciting high-rise buildings with the world’s top developers and renowned architects.
Our expertise makes it possible for architects to push the boundaries of their aesthetic visions and for our clients to realize their goals. Buildings engineered by our teams look good, perform well throughout their life time, and make a positive contribution to our citie’s economies, society and the environment.
The art of building high isn’t only about design, but about the efficiency of material, speed of construction, maximum achievable space, seamless coordination of engineering and architectural, thereby achieving optimal cost and performance as well as an iconic and elegant building.
Engineering Global High-Rise Landmarks
We offer world-class engineering skills, advanced technical back up and in-depth knowledge of the current design standards for any type of building, anywhere in the world. Our specialist expertise in high-rise is enhanced through innovative and common sense solutions.
Engineering High-Rise buildings is half art, half science – an artful application of science empowered by experience.
Building Higher, Building Slimmer
A new generation of landmark mega-towers and super-slender buildings is rising across the globe. Each project is bespoke and the challenges associated with great height, such as mitigating the effects of wind turbulence on very high structures, are considerable.
Through our innovative design approach and use of materials we ensure that the form and function of mega-towers are perfectly adapted to the different needs of the people who use them.
Our designs for tall, slim towers help developers make the most of limited real estate in urban areas and capitalize on small and constricted sites to create highly desirable residences with magnificent views and high market values.
Creating the Highest Value
We add value to our projects by listening carefully to our clients to ensure we meet their commercial requirements and the needs of building occupants in addition to delivering buildings that are safe, sustainable and cost-effective.
We have pioneered engineering techniques that have reduced build times, realized additional floors and maximized space in the most awkward of footplates. From the earliest design stages, we plan for the diverse uses of a building through its whole life cycle, focusing on efficiency and economy and the flexibility to adapt to future needs. We optimize the building structure to maximize the lettable area; and we optimize the building performance by including energy- efficient systems and advanced vertical transportation technologies to reduce operational costs.
As buildings get higher and higher, with mixed-use, it’s like a jigsaw to fit everything within the core.
Delivering Technical Excellence
Our center’s of excellence in the design of tall buildings offer world-class design skills which we integrate with local detailed design delivery and relationship management. Our talented and experienced engineers are equipped with the most sophisticated design tools and constantly explore new ways to design and build using innovative materials and advanced methods of construction. Their expertise allows us to:
Sustainability with a View
We’re committed to minimizing the burden of our projects on the environment, while maximizing the benefits they offer economically and to society.
We have specialist green building design, development of new, sustainable technologies to reduce the environmental impact of tall buildings. We consider the overall emissions and resource consumption over the whole lifespan of a building, and prioritize strategies such as using recycled or locally sourced materials, low carbon building services design and minimizing waste.
Stimulating Urban Economies and Revitalizing City Centers
Tall building projects are catalysts for urban regeneration, stimulating growth by creating places where people enjoy living, leisure and shopping as well as working. They put people back in the heart of cities.
We pay close attention to how buildings interact with people and public spaces at street level, and contribute to the creation of attractive, comfortable streetscape through the expertise of our urban development and transportation planners and the use of advanced modelling technology.
