Reaching New Heights with Anchor Rails
References
With great effort, the financial and commercial center Xinghai has been developed in recent years around Xinghai Square in Dalian. This is now complemented by a new congress and exhibition center called Xinghai Convention & Exhibition Center. It sets new standards among the surrounding office buildings in the city: the total building area on 44 above-ground and 4 underground floors amounts to 160,000 square meters. The structure rises 204 meters high. It is intended to become a new landmark of the city and architecturally compete with the World Towers in Beijing and the International Finance Center in Hong Kong.

The design was carried out by the Dalian branch of China State Construction Engineering Co. Ltd. The construction was commissioned to China Construction Third Engineering Bureau Co. Ltd. The design of the green office environment was in the hands of the renowned landscape planning firm Belt Collins from Hong Kong. The construction of the facade using modern glass elements is very demanding. Broad Group was responsible for the conception and execution. For those responsible, the question of load transfer in the anchoring of the facade elements posed a challenge. To ensure absolute safety, the concept including the dimensioning of the anchors was subjected to detailed calculation and verification.

"Our clients ultimately decided on our FES-H-50/30 and FES-H-52/34 anchor rails, which reliably absorb the various applied loads," says Dr. Roland Unterweger, Head of the Cast-in Business Unit of the fischer Group. "The decision-makers were convinced by the installation flexibility and the accommodation of component tolerances. In addition to the safety and reliability of our solution with European technical approval, our comprehensive service in cooperation with our local company in China was also highly appreciated."

The FES anchor channels feature high adjustability, making the installation of façade elements easier. The screw connection system eliminates the need for welding and drilling work on site. Thanks to its particularly high load capacity, the cast-in channel system is also suitable for heavy and demanding applications. It can also be used on different concrete substrates. "The use of our anchor channels thus enables high time and cost savings while simultaneously avoiding damage to the existing construction," summarizes Dr. Roland Unterweger the advantages. "A truly exclusive office complex in China was created using our cast-in elements."
