SUPPORTING SOME OF THE WORLD’S TALLEST BUILDINGS

Tall buildings present special challenges for designers, builders and contractors such as internal wind pressures which call for careful consideration and design experience at the planning stage. Fire and acoustic requirements for skyscrapers can also be more demanding than solutions for low-rise developments.

USGKnauf has assisted with building design solutions for some of the world’s most iconic skyscrapers. These have been based on a wide range of materials, from panellised lightweight wall systems as well as integrated and suspended acoustic ceiling systems.

Our Shaftwall™ System provides fire protection of up to two hours for elevator shafts, vertical ducts and other applications where installation is only possible from one side. Of lightweight construction and high acoustic performance, Shaftwall™ is also certified by Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA).

Shaftwall™ System is installed in the world’s tallest twin towers, Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas Towers, as well as New York’s One World Trade Centre and the ‘megatall’ Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It also helped the architects of the Shanghai Centre Tower achieve their design vision of creating one of the world’s ‘greenest’ buildings.
