RULES OF MODERN HIGH-RISE CONSTRUCTION. LARGE-SCALE PROJECTS DO NOT TOLERATE MISTAKES

High-rise construction is a challenge for physics, logistics, and safety standards, where every engineering decision determines the viability of the entire facility. For the structure to be reliable and comfortable, the general contractor must maintain strict control over a number of critical factors, starting with aerodynamics. 

The use of progressive BIM modeling and digital aerodynamic flow analysis at the design stage allows for the complete avoidance of the dangerous «wind canyon» effect at the base of the building. Since a high-rise building creates colossal pressure on the ground, foundation solutions require impeccable calculations, which are implemented in deep piled foundations or massive monolithic slabs with an ultra-rigid reinforcement cage.

No less serious a challenge is vertical logistics. Clearly planned delivery of specialists and materials to upper floors, which is the bottleneck of any site and is only manageable for companies with vast experience and a powerful in-house technical base. Uncompromising fire safety holds a special place in the design structure, which includes smoke-free stairwells, automatic fire suppression systems, and special fire-resistant zones, for which the specialized PBF Firesystems department is responsible within PBF Corporation. In such large-scale engineering tasks, there is no room for on-the-fly experiments or chance.

That is why the implementation of high-rise projects should be entrusted exclusively to a reliable, stable, and proven partner who possesses the necessary expertise and resources to confidently move to any height.
