Formwork solutions for your High Rise project

_Understanding your High Rise project as a partner

_Understanding the construction process truly and being knowledgeable about it is the prerequisite for being a partner to the building sector. We have this understanding from the initial planning stage through to completion of construction.

_Understanding such as this is based on 40 years experience in self-climbing technology and more than 1000 High Rise projects that were successfully realised worldwide. Construction of the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the 1-km high Kingdom Tower in Saudi Arabia set to surpass it, are but two examples.

With this comprehensive know-how, we are well-qualified to be your high-performing and reliable partner in High Rise construction.
