Large UHPC balconies by the water
With our material, UHPC CRC i2, we have helped create sleek and lightweight balconies that complement the character of Kronløbsøen and elegantly hug the facade. We have delivered a total of 237 balconies with embedded brick cladding for the project.
The choice of Hi-Con as a subcontractor was based, among other things, on total economic considerations, where both time and practicality were significant factors. When we serve as a subcontractor in a construction project, clients are offered a complete package of consultation, planning, production, and delivery. This allows us to save our customers unnecessary separation of contracts and thus the extra time and resources that are often associated with managing and coordinating multiple subcontractors.
Although the construction is completed with 237 balconies in Ultra High Performance Concrete, the balconies were delivered in 287 balcony elements, each consisting of one balcony plate and three parapets with embedded brick cladding on the exterior. Due to the length and design of the balconies, some of the balconies were divided into multiple elements and subsequently assembled during the installation. The balconies measure up to 13 meters in length and 4.5 meters in depth, and several of the balconies wrap around the corners of the buildings. The balcony base are manufactured with a plate thickness of 100 - 125 mm and cast in gray UHPC CRC i2.
The new island district is led by the project company Kronløbsøen Projekt P/S, was designed by Vilhelm Lauritzen Arkitekter A/S and COBE and constructed by NCC Denmark. The installation is handled by our collaboration partner RG Stålbyg.
