MahaNakhon - Bangkok Rising
2 May, 2012
Below ground works continue through May for MahaNakhon's retail "Cube" building.
We have now reached the B2 level, where the workers are creating the level supporting frame, then will lace the reinforcement bars together and pour the concrete, forming the reinforced concrete surface level of B2, completing in around 10 days.
Part of the work involves welding and forming the reinforcement bars, creating a form "wall", then pouring the concrete behind the wall for the vertical surfaces, such as is required for building the service access. This work includes the elevator shafts, the Cube features 3 passengers elevators and one service lift.
To support between floors, load bearing beams are required from floor to floor, this supports the load of the floor above and joins the two levels together, in this case B2 and B3.
MahaNakhon Cube Construction Continues
25 April, 2012
Following the Thai New Year, construction below ground continues for MahaNakhon, with the B3 level reaching completion as each level brings the development closer to ground level. B3 now forms the surface on which to place the supporting frame for construction of the B2 level.
Pictured, work on the water tank which will supply water for the entire development will be finished beginning of May.
Also ongoing are the access ways between levels, also pictured is the B3 to B2 stairway, where the shape is formed, then concrete is poured to make the stairwell. The steel bar area behind the stairs will be completed in the next 2 weeks.
