Project Report on Jasper Tower(2005/08/09)


After five months of tight construction work, the foundation pit soil excavation work of Jasper Tower project is completed on May 20th, 2005. This means that the structure construction stage of Jasper project has begun.

Since the start of the foundation pit work in January 2005, the quality, schedule and safety of the construction has been very satisfying. This is the result of careful organization and collaboration of all participating parties. At present, the maximum deviation of the position of foundation protection - underground wall is 99.08mm, which is totally controllable. And the deviation of the position of roads and piping layout and the differences of underground water level and pressure bearing water level are all with the controllable scope. The safety of the foundation pit work is strongly ensured.

The diameter of the slab steel bar is quite big (ß∂32). And the under-beams are allocated partially on every floor underground. The thickness of the slab of the main tower is 2.8m. The slab steel bar ends are connected with ground wall earthing equipment, so the binding work of the steel bars is very difficult. However, the managing team of the Jasper project is never afraid of the difficulties. The more challenging the work is, the more excited and hardworking the project team is. As for the current steel bar work, firstly, we are improving the internal managerial system to enhance the sense of quality; secondly, we require the inspector company to strengthen the inspection work to seriously ensure the quality of every procedure; thirdly, when encountering questions and problems of the project, the construction parties will contact the designer in time to solve the problems promptly and properly through team-work.

Another tough job we faced recently was the large scale concrete pouring of foundation slab. It is an inspection on the all parties’ capability and a test on the on-site construction department’s organizing ability. As such, all the parties made thorough preparations for the job. The project department contacted the temperature testing company for the concrete pouring and submitted the testing plan to the inspector and designer for approval. Construction party also provided the organization structure of construction team for approval. The construction party thoroughly planned and controlled the concrete ingredients proportions, raw materials provision and concrete transportation. The intention of all those work was to prepare soundly for the concrete pouring work. By all parties’ collaboration, the concrete pouring work was successfully finished by the end of June.

The fourth supporting equipment has been removed and the structure construction of the four-floor basement is now under critical construction.

We seeded hope in the land of Jasper Tower in spring; we cultivate the land with passion and perspiration in summer; we believe that we will receive substantial harvest from the land in autumn.

Jasper under the blue sky(2005/12/05)


As the ancient literators say: the natural jasper is like the lotus coming out of clear water. The jade is a symbol of nobility, representing people's good wishes and blessing. The Jasper Tower is just like the beautiful jade of Zhongrong Group, symbolizing Zhongrong's spirit of being friendly, modest, hard working, enterprising and self-improving.

Since starting construction of project Jasper Tower, all the staff in the project department have been holding together and completed the construction of peg, underground diaphragm wall, basement flooring, structural construction of three underground floors as well as well as inspection of deep foundation pit and construction of steel structure, etc.
While the heated construction is under way on the building spot, the management personnel and the workers are all working overtime. Currently, 12 steel poles for the first part of core in the main building have UNDER THE BLUE SKY

been installed, examined and positioned. The colligation work of the steel bars is under way right now. The 18 steel tubes and poles in main building have all been fixed and the concrete pouring and smashing of the steel tubes has been completed. Backout of the first batch of supporting steel bars has come to an end, leaving little for manual backout. Colligation of steel bars in the north of back pouring belt of B1F has been finished. In section II, colligation of girder bars and flooring of templets are under way. Scaffold of steel poles for the sloping girder has been set up. It is planed to carry out concreting and pouring of Section I in the north of B1F from Nov. 3 on.

It is predicted that structural construction beneath ¡À0.000 will be finished by Nov. 15, 2005 and construction of overground main structure will formally start, indicating a new stage of project of Jasper Tower. Main structure will be completed by the end of year 2006; decoration and installation of water, power, air conditioning facilities will be started in the beginning of year 2007; equipment debugging, comprehensive debugging and trial operation of water, power and air condition facilities will start in the first half of year 2008 and in the same year the whole project will pass the examination and acceptance on completion and be delivered to the owners.
In the course of whole engineering management, staff of the project department pool their ideas and make concerted and united efforts to solve a series of technical problems such as the construction of deep foundation pit, consolidation of foundation pit, construction and backout of supporting structure, temperature control of ground floor concrete, and connection of steel bars of underground diaphragm, etc., accumulating precious experience for construction of foundation. Besides, the project department has also made active coordination between construction unit and design unit and trusted professional supervision unit to ensure the construction security and engineering quality of the project with the deepest foundation pit in the minor Lujiazui area. The project has also realized the goal of ¡°no accident in construction and quality¡± and passed the examination and acceptance of building sites of civilized construction in Shanghai. All these above factors make a successful starting point and lay a solid foundation for project of Jasper Tower to ensure ¡°Bai Yu Lan Award¡± and win ¡°Luban Award¡±.

All the managing personnel in the department of Jasper Tower firmly believe that under the leadership of Chairman Ni, we will build the project of Jasper Tower into a landmark project of Zhongrong Group. Through our hard working and accumulating managing experience and with an open mind, a sense of duty and responsibility and energetic enthusiasm, we will make full play of our intelligence and conscientiousness to do our contribution in Zhongrong's fast and steady development.
We will take more pride in telling others: ¡°I am one of Zhongrong family and I am proud of that.

wonderful! :cheers:

yeah, the design is very good. i love it :)

This has been my favorite tower going up ever since it was announced. The best tower along with the WTC in Shanghai and the Al Alam Tower (i hope i got the name right) in Dubai.

If that rendering is accurate this tower will be an awesome addition to Pudong's growing skyline.

i am surprised they are this far into the construction already.

Amazing tower.

cool:cool: they should make it tallerWhy? It looks great as it is.

This one is surely beautiful. One of the best looking towers in Shanghai.
Very envious.

WOW great news again!!!!! Congras to Shanghai.

it is so called "girl tower" in shanghai, another "boy tower" along her.

nice tower! ... lovely
seems to have a skygarden right?

^^ Yeah, like a winter-garden.

WOW this is the most beatiful tower which will be build in Shanghai!The skyline of Shanghai looks more and more futuristic with each new added tower into it!The roof part of this Tower is excelent!

Yes it's one of the best skyscrapers but in my opinion SWFC will be a bit better :)

Ey ZZ you are also from germany Hallo Landsmann!

Immer doch :)

Please don't write "English Please"!!

Germany has someone of the bueatiful skyscrapers, especially the newly constructed Train station. Truely marvelous!

You mean the new main station in berlin?yes its wonderful i was there about 2 weeks ago its gigantic and really beautiful!

Yeah actually, I downloaded the whole episode in relations to the lowering of two

gigantic strucutres on irrespective side above the layers of glass ceilings. I remebered

they even brought alcohol to celebrate as the lowering process was completed. This

was shown on Discoverery Channel.

Some fine piece of German engineering.

Wonderful tower. espacially the Glass, this blue is unbelievable nice.

Thanks for the updates.

This is a nice tower, thanks for the updates!

The base part is similar to the base part of the Hilton Paris La Defense hotel

This is not "Hilton Paris La Defense hotel" but EDF Tower, headquarter of the french eletricity company. But indeed, the base is similar.

I am one of Zhongrong family and I am proud of that.

So your family owns apart of it?

BTW it's a excellent-looking building!

nice updates.

Pudong is such a god blessed place! So many top-notch skyscrapers are building there. Who knows how it will look like in 10 years.

^^ Lujiazui has run out of plots. The Z3-2 project is the last one, so I don't think that CBD will change much after 2010.

Anyway, they will go on building lots of huge skyscrapers in other areas :master:

how tall will these huge skyscrapers be?

This is my favourite building design under construction right now - just beautiful!!

This tower is amazing, I like the trees inside on the top floors thats awesome. The facade is really great too....

Definately one of my favourite buildings going up in the word right now. Too bad it's a little bit to short for it's location though. I wish the rumoured 288,8 (?) height increase was true.

The crown/top looks evil yet beautiful.

the design is superb!! :eek: it would be (IMO) the best building in shanghai!

but the name is kinda awkward though. it doest give any justice to this beautiful building.

Its a beauty!

The facade has started also.

Really? How about the plots with those ungly low rises behind the SWFC and the Jin Mao? I am sure someone will buy those and build something huge!

Its nice to see more updates for my fav tower!! I hope the rumoured height increase is correct!! There is so much construction around the tower its amazing.

fabulous design, I love it!

The tower behind is the Jasper Tower. The other one is Development Tower, another beauty:

Well, let's hope so. In fact, there are some proposals to demolish many of those awful lowrises, but I have no info.

I have to say, i said the Trump tower was the nicest thing right now but i have never seen this thread, OMG the architect needs an award, this is litterally sensational

great updates, this tower is growing fast!! looking really tall now

whats the smaller tower on that construction picture above?
The Development Tower. :)
And Jasper Tower is actually the one that will be smaller when both are finished.

This is a sweet looking tower. I just wish it was taller like about 500+ meters.

Something new about this tower?

The cladding (except for the same four windows, or so, as before) hasn't started yet as far as I know.

^^ nice updates

Stunning - I wish planners here would encorage these types of towers in Sydney. It's so depressing looking at all the nice designs going up in Shanghai and then looking at the crap we get over here. At least we have a connection most likely its built with Australian supplied raw materials.

Anybody got news about this tower??

jasper tower still not finished?
As you can see on the picture, NO!!

I can see that it has topped out, now we only have to wait for the glass to reach the top! It will be a stunning tower.

This looks stunning. Thanks :cheers:

Mr D , Thanks a lot.

awesome construction

Why the hell do i got "****" when i write something???????

It's not only in my case, there's ***** everywhere...

^hilarious april fools joke

Very fast

gorgeous design,no doubt.but 'cause of its height,it get ignored all the time,like me,hahahaha

thanks Nvan, from SWFC thread.

Why does it look shorter than the rendering on the 1st page?

It looks fine :)

It's wider than I thought it would be when viewed from the side as in that last photo. It would benefit from being 50m taller. If it was 100m taller it would really soar and be one of the best scrapers anywhere. However even with these proportions it's one of the best scrapers UC in Shanghai right now. :)

nice shots!!! Shanghai is full with high-rises!

shanghai will be a 2nd Hongkong/NY in the future ( as many other citie's arround the world also )

this tower is to elegant to be held anywhere under 350 meters....make it grow...it would fit along the Shanghai skyline perfect.

thanks Nvan, from SWFC thread.

what are the buildings under construction to the left and right of Jasper tower?

The left one is Development tower. I don't remember the name of the right one*.

I'm a bit disppointed with the Jasper tower, I thought it would be less "bulky", beautiful cladding though.

*Edit: I found it: CMBC tower, refer to this thread by z0rg:

Jasper does look very sleek in the renders. Yes, it's very stumpy.

Cool tower

Very cool picture from Shanghai

grrr.why is this tower going so slow..http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/1957/20070807c7e5fcd1d8f384dyw9.jpg

grrr.why is this tower going so slow

Because I failed to visit this thread :lol:


I think there's a lot to do on the crown, very complicated, but the caldding is almost topped.

yeah maybe

lol it seems to me that all the constructions happening in that area are in slow motion..

Well, Development Tower is rising so freaking fast...

you are correct, the towers nearing completion are being put into low gears.

Its because the infrastructure around the banking cluster are still being blocked up from all the construction that's going on in the surrounding area. And they won't be cleared up until the buildings are finished. (look at the road to the riverside of the cluster).

If they finished a tower now, that building will most likely be islanded inside all the construction site without proper road/hydro/electrical access.

It makes perfect financial sense for all of the towers in that cluster will be completed at around the same time. Which is why some of the buildings seem like they've stopped building and others (the development tower) are being fired up the sky.

nice building

Very ingenius analyse.

ahhh i see now cant wait for those 5 towers to finish at the same time ^^

:drool:

That's a beauty. Fits Shanghai well. That top looks very interesting.

This one is going to be the cutest tower of Lujiazui...

agree, just a bit too short :p

Jasper is a true beauty. From the render, I think its going to be one of the most elegant skyscraper in Shanghai when it is finish. :cheers:

ahhh i see now cant wait for those 5 towers to finish at the same time ^^

Yeah, I guess they are finishing those 5 towers withing 9 months. 4 of them are really beautiful, what a pity that Merryland Building is so freaking awful.

Btw, they are planning another 5 180-200m next to Jasper Tower, hope they will become a reality soon! :banana:

really? thats awesome..
i think i have heard it too..before 2010, the more towers would be built on the former shipyard!

gotta hurry..not much time left until 2010

Not as good as the render but still awsome!

:speech: WAR !!!! the americans have invaded china lol

:guns1: :gunz:

the US coast guard went there for an official visit. Did you see a Chinese flag on the ship.

No, friend. Mirae Asset purchased Hopson International Tower, which is also in Lujiazui:

(no, it doesn't say 'Mirae Ass' anymore as this pic was taken while the sign was being installed :D).


I don't know the one in Paris, but Jasper Tower was designed by Gresham, Smith and Partners.

I think Jasper is already topped out. (not U/C)

Any pics? I am really curious how the crown looks like...

The crown looks fabulous at night.

Jasper is one of the most delicate towers in Shanghai.
