The client of the project is Dubai Holding, a diversified global investment company with offices in 13 countries and more than 20,000 employees in ten key sectors: real estate, hospitality, leisure & entertainment, media, information & communication technology, design, education, trade, production & logistics, as well as science.
Various facade and installation systems as well as heavy-duty fasteners from the fischer group were used to construct the base of the observation wheel. The fischer fastening and system solutions firmly connect the base plates with the steel profiles. In hollow core slabs, the fischer universal mortar FIS V, together with suitable system components, securely anchored the attached parts in the substrate. A fischer anchor sleeve ensured that when inserting the anchor rod, the mortar was distributed exactly where it was needed, creating optimal form fit within the chambers of the building material. Additionally, the fischer bolt anchor FAZ II was used in concrete during the construction of the steel structure of the "observation wheel substructure."
