http://www.miraxcity.com/?path=news_...&id=498&page=4

On the night of February 25 the MIRAX GROUP Corporation finished the casting of foundation slab of tower «А» in the «Federation» business complex being constructed in the MIBC «Moscow-City».

The process of casting started on February 22 at 12:00 p.m. and was finished on February 26 at 01:00 a.m. Thus the procedure lasted continuously for 84 hours. Ultra-strong B-50 concrete was supplied by 5 concrete plants of Moscow. The average rate of concrete feed was 243 m3 per hour. In total it was cast 14 thousand cubic meters of concrete developed by the Moscow Reinforced concrete research institute together with Construction physics research institute by «Mirax-City» company’s request.

The unprecedented in the world casting procedure was registered by the Editor-in-Chief of Guinness Book of Records Craig Glendane, who presented a honorable diploma of a record-holder to Arthur Alexandrov, Construction manager of the «Federation» complex.

ah fantastic news.

Also, out of interest, what sort of time of the year does the weather normally get milder (when does the snow stop)?

larven · February 22nd, 2006, 03:26 PM

Excellent stuff....boy it looks cold over there! Tower B is looking very imposing and Im looking forward to seeing the even more impressive taller twin rise over the coming months or so.

***coth*** · February 22nd, 2006, 03:25 PM

in temperate climate zones it usually happens in spring. march-april.

@larven
+2C actually today

Urban Dave · February 22nd, 2006, 06:22 PM

I suppose they are heating that surface under the blue plastic.

***coth*** · February 22nd, 2006, 06:45 PM

yes. they are.

engiNerd · February 22nd, 2006, 07:08 PM

Plus they can put addmixtures into the concrete to cure with high heat and extra air entrainment so that it won't freeze, or if it does some it won't adversely affect the mix. Pretty amazing how they can do these pours in these temperatures. Would be really interesting to find out what kind of process they used to keep it from freezing on this project. Very cool.

fourlin · February 24th, 2006, 09:07 AM

are those chinese workers working on the project?

***coth*** · February 24th, 2006, 10:03 AM

Tower A building by China State Construction Engineering Corp. They also building SWFC and CCTV.

fourlin · February 24th, 2006, 09:58 PM

wow...cool, thanks!

***weird*** · February 25th, 2006, 02:13 AM

CULWULLA · February 28th, 2006, 11:42 PM

hey coth, has heights changed from earlier?
smaller tower was 236m now 242m?
taller tower was 340m now 354m?
spire was 440m now 432m?
i was just updating diagrams.
cheers

***coth*** · March 1st, 2006, 12:41 AM

yes. it is current data on official site. number of floors is wrong there however. tower a will have 88 floors, tower b - 59 floors. officialy - 85 and 57. because
1 and 2 will be 1 and 1a.
5 and 6 will be 4a and 4b.
and 88th will be 85b.

still it's really hard to say, what are the final figures.

Light of “Federation”
http://www.miraxcity.com/?path=news_...&id=497&page=1

This week the Management of ZAO “Mirax-City” is planning to meet with the representatives of LDA company, Austria. The aim of the meeting is signing of a contract for design of facade illumination of the “Federation” business complex.

A concept and a set of drawings of external and internal façade illumination and internal lighting of the “Federation” has been already developed based on architectural and building drawings. There are two types of illumination in the design – everyday and festive. The main concept comprises several stages of development: in stylobate zone, crossing bridges, mast, spire.

The common external illumination will be realized by means of projectors. Their light will be directed in such a way that the outline of towers and internal structures will be seen from the earth. Illumination will be of the whitest shade. Crossing bridges at the 33, 47, 61, 76 and 89 floors, the mast and internal facades of stylobate zone from a 5 m level to a 34 m mark will be illuminated with projectors. Their light will clearly outline the facade elements and internal structures.

The mast illumination intensity will be increasing from a 33 m mark to a 367,2 m level. External facades of the stylobate zone starting from zero level and up to a 22 m mark, the spire starting from a 367,2 m mark and up to a 448,2 m mark are illuminated by means of the lights located behind the glass panels in the “blind” facade zones. The façade surface is evenly illuminated by a white color shade light. Facades of towers «А» and «B» will be illuminated with projectors placed on the stylobate roof and lawns of the complex.

Daylight illumination of the internal atrium space will be realized with the help of mirrors. Three options of conceptual design of external and internal lighting will be considered during the final approval. In the course of approval one option from the suggested ones will be chosen or a new one will be compiled.
