The expansion of the popular EUROVEA complex is currently the largest construction project in Bratislava.
The construction itself began in December 2019, but even before it began, our designers had to deal with the challenge of designing the layout of tower cranes on a construction site of only 300 x 100 meters.

A total of 14 cranes are working on the project, while the highest ever built in Slovakia will gradually grow together with the EUROVEA TOWER skyscraper. In total, tower sections with a total height of more than 1.1 kilometers will be used and deployed for this project at the same time.

Concreting of the foundation slab for the first Slovak skyscraper EUROVEA TOWER.

• The concreting of the biggest foundation slab of the apartment building, which has been built in Slovakia so far, lasted continuously for three days and nights.
• The concrete was produced by three batching plants, while two more backup ones were ready and it was imported to the construction site by truck mixers, which “turned” more than 630 times.
• The concrete was pumped into the pit by three mobile pumps, which were supplemented by one stand-by pump during the necessary technical breaks, and one backup pump was also prepared.
• Total weight of steel reinforcement: 1 880 ton
• Biggest reinforcement bars: diameter 4 cm, lenght 12 m, weight 120 kg / each
• Base plate thickness: 3m
• Concrete volume: 7 050 m3

In this video, in addition to the extensive concreting of the foundation, you can also see the unique installation of a tower crane on the roof of the historic building of the Bratislava port.

Reconstruction of the historic building Warehouse No.7.

Warehouse no. 7 of the Bratislava port in Bratislava on the Danube embankment is listed as a national cultural monument as a technical monument. Its reconstruction is taking place at the same time as the construction of the EUROVEA II project. Due to the lack of space on the construction site, it was necessary to place a working crane for this project on the roof of the building.

This required extensive static recalculations and the use of supports for each floor under the crane base downt to the bottom itself – the solid ground.

You can see the massive supports for the crane in this picture:
