fischer cast-in channel elements secure Xinghai Convention & Exhibition Centre

High up with anchor rails
The Xinghai financial and trading centre has been built around Xinghai Square in Dalian with great effort in recent years. This is now complemented by a new congress and exhibition centre called Xinghai Convention & Exhibition Centre. This sets new standards among the surrounding office buildings in the city: The total building area on 44 above-ground and 4 underground floors is 160,000 square metres. The structure is 204 metres high. It is to become a new landmark of the city and be architecturally comparable with the World Towers in Beijing and the International Finance Centre in Hong Kong.

The Dalian branch of China State Construction Engineering Co. Ltd. responsible. With the establishment, China Construction Third Engineering Bureau Co. Ltd. is activated. The green office environment was designed by the renowned landscaping company Belt Collins from Hong Kong. The construction of the facade made of modern glass elements is very demanding. The Broad Group was responsible for the design and implementation. The issue of load bearing when anchoring the facade elements posed a challenge for those responsible. To ensure absolute safety, the concept including the dimensioning of the anchors was subjected to a detailed calculation and test.

“Our customers ultimately opted for our FES-H-50/30 and FES-H-52/34 anchor rails, which reliably absorb the various loads acting on them,” says Dr Roland Unterweger, Head of the Business Unit Cast-in of the fischer Group. "The decision-makers were impressed by the flexibility of assembly and the ability to accept component tolerances. In addition to the safety and reliability of our solution with European technical approval, our comprehensive service in cooperation with our country company in China was also highly appreciated."

The FES anchor rails are highly adjustable and thus facilitate the installation of the facade elements. The bolted connection system eliminates the need for welding and drilling 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 in different concrete substrates. “The use of our anchor rails thus enables significant time and cost savings and at the same time avoids damage to the existing structure,” Dr. Roland Unterweger sums up the advantages. “A truly exclusive office complex has been created in China with our cast-in elements.”
