With the exception of one month, in which no work was done, this summer the building was raised by about one floor per month. Now we are working on the structural part of the 8th floor, the last masonry parts of the fourth floor are being finished and the interior, thermal, sanitary and electrical installation works have started, already reaching the 2nd floor. All the processes will go in parallel, until the end of November 2020, when we estimate that the structure part will be completed.
The resistance structure consists of:
- general screed type reinforced concrete foundations
- constructive system in frames from:
- reinforced concrete consisting of columns, beams and reinforced concrete floors
- monolithic reinforced concrete diaphragms, stairs and attics
The heating system uses Rehau Rautitan pex-A pipes, of the best quality on the market.
The exterior and interior masonry is YTONG type thermal insulation masonry. The exterior walls of YTONG will be covered with a thermal system composed of expanded polystyrene over which is applied the putty table reinforced with fiberglass and decorative plaster textured in white, beige, brown and red.
The partition walls between the apartments and the common spaces are also made of YTONG type thermal insulation masonry with a thickness of 30 cm, and the non-constructive walls for YTONG masonry interior partitions with a thickness of 15 cm, to which are added the plaster and washable paints.
YTONG bricks offer many benefits, and below are a few:
- better thermal insulation: YTONG bricks create a thermal insulation at least 2 times better than brick. In the long run, that means energy savings, which also translates into lower home maintenance costs, meaning you, as an Aqua City owner.
- safety: a YTONG brick weighs less than a brick made of ceramic blocks, which makes the building more efficient in case of seismic movements.
- fire resistance: each YTONG block falls into class A1 of reaction to fire, which means that it provides optimal protection against fire. In the event of a fire, YTONG bricks do not emit toxic gases.
- sustainability: YTONG blocks are made of a sustainable material, made of sand, lime, cement and water. The extraction of raw materials is done by non-invasive and ecological processes.
In the 9 months of construction of Block 1, the following were used:
- 1060 tons of iron
- 9,800 cubic meters of concrete.
- 46,000 YTONG bricks
