Construction Development
Location
The land where the towers were building is located in the heart of the commercial and
financial district of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
(El terreno donde se construían las torres se encuentra en el corazón del distrito
comercial y financiero de Kuala Lumpur , Malasia . )
Concept
Pelli used an Islamic geometric design in its plant, by interlacing two squares of
gradually decreasing size at the top, which is based on a traditional motif in Islamic
culture, a star of 12 peaks including a circle at each intersection.
Spaces
Each tower has an area of 218.000m2 distributed in 88 floors and 427 meters high.
Footbridge (Pasarela)
The towers are connected by an air bridge double height between floors 41 and 42,
which form a portal.
(Las torres están conectadas por un puente aéreo de doble altura entre los pisos 41 y
42, que forman un portal)
Structure
The central structure is based on a square core, 23x23m basically concrete attached
to a peripheral ring 16 also of concrete columns.
The composite floor system are conventional structural steel beams of rolled steel
457mm cant, spaced approximately 2.8m at the center.
The towers rest on a concrete slab shared, which in turn is placed on a “forest”
underground concrete and steel pillars.
Central nucleus
resorted to a central concrete structure and floors made with metal panels and steel
filler. This central, large and square, shaft joins the perimeter ring through four levels
riostradas steel beams, each double height. The connection between these two
structural components from minimizes wind loads on the towers.
Outward structure
Each tower structure outwardly from a perimeter ring 16 mega reinforced concrete
cylindrical columns, each of which occupies a corner of the star, creating a base with a
diameter of 46m.
Cada estructura de la torre hacia afuera desde un anillo perimetral de 16 mega
columnas cilíndricas de hormigón armado, cada una de las cuales ocupa una
esquina de la estrella, creando una base con un diámetro de 46 m.
Bridge
The bridge connecting the two towers is supported by a consistent arc three hinges on
a giant bearing shaped central ring at the base. Its structural design, with 58.4m in
length and approximately 48m span
El puente que conecta las dos torres está soportado por un arco consistente de
tres bisagras en un anillo central con forma de cojinete gigante en la base. Su
diseño estructural, con 58.4m de largo y aproximadamente 48m de luz
Materials
With 88 floors of reinforced concrete and steel facade, glass and aluminum, have a
total of 32,000 windows. The soils have steel frame resting on reinforced concrete
plates.
The external enclosure is made of stainless steel, aluminum and glass.
Con 88 pisos de hormigón armado y fachada de acero, vidrio y aluminio, tiene
un total de 32,000 ventanas. Los suelos tienen un marco de acero que descansa
sobre placas de hormigón armado.
La carcasa externa está hecha de acero inoxidable, aluminio y vidrio
Technical sheet
-Foundations Balsa type with a thickness of 4.5m made with 13,200 m3 reinforced
concrete weighing approximately 32,550t under each tower at about 19m below
ground level. The raft is supported on stilts 104 Barette ranging from 60 to 115 m in
length under the box. Due to the great depth of these piles, it was necessary to move
the project about 60m to reach bedrock.
