TV channel Discovery has concluded an agreement with “Mirax
Group” Corporation on shooting a documentary about the construction of “Federation” complex.

The documentary will highlight the work progress on the territory of the Moscow International Business Center “Moscow City” of a multifunctional office and recreation center “Federation” to be the highest building in Europe. Among the heroes of the film there will be the following construction participants – “Mirax Group” as project’s initiator and investor as well as its Russian and foreign partners: architects Peter Shweger and Sergey Choban, “Turner Construction”, “Thornton-Tomasetti Engineers Division”, “Jaros, Baum & Bolles”, “Williams Davies & Irwin Inc.(RWDI)”, ”Ant Yapy”, “Kaskatash”, “Stiles & Riabokobylko Ltd.”, “Hyatt International Corporation”, Design bureau №6 under “Mosproekt-2” and “Veshntorgbank” as the principal financial partner. The project is an international one pooling the interests of the Russian private business and the world high-rise construction experience.

The documentary will demonstrate the advanced technologies applied in the construction of the “Federation” tower. Namely the central core will be erected using hydraulic formwork – though yet unknown in Russia but a widely used in the West technology. This effective method of high-rise construction ensures an automated lifting of the central core formwork weighing more than 25 tons and saves carnage time.
Shooting will be carried out with a permanently operating video camera installed on the territory of the Moscow International Business Center “Moscow City”. The film will last 52 minutes. Shooting is planned to be finished in 2007 – by the time of completion of “Federation” complex construction.

Federation Tower : Europe's Tallest Building
The developer for a skyscraper billed as Europe's tallest says that state of the art construction and design methods will make it safe from plane attacks similar to those that destroyed the World Trade Center in New York.

The futuristic, glass-clad Federation Tower will house offices, a hotel and luxury apartments along the Moscow river in a western region of the Russian capital.

Its twin, sail-like towers - the tallest of which will be 340 meters - are attached to a central 430-meter stiletto-like spire.

In western Europe, the tallest building is Frankfurt's 260-meter Commerzbank tower.

"The pillars would cut through the plane, and that is all," said Sergei Polonsky, president of Mirax Group, describing the building's resilience to a September 11-style attack.

"Regardless of how many planes hit it, it won't fall down," he said, standing in the shadow of one of the partially completed, reinforced concrete pillars ringing the perimeter of tower B, the smaller of the two.

A recent event saw the official presentation of the big name contractors that will work on the Federation project by Mirax.

They include construction manager Turner Construction, a division of the New York headquartered high-rise construction specialists, structural engineers Thornton-Tomasetti , ThyssenKrupp AG's
