Various façade and installation systems as well as heavy-duty fixings from the fischer group of companies were used to construct the base of the observation wheel. The fischer fixing and system solutions firmly connect the plinth panels to the steel profiles. In hollow core slabs, the fischer Universal Mortar FIS V, together with suitable system components, anchored the add-on parts firmly in the subsoil. When inserting the anchor rod, a fischer anchor sleeve ensured that the mortar was distributed exactly where it was needed and that an optimum form fit was created in the chambers of the building material. In concrete, the fischer FAZ II bolt anchor was also used for the erection of the steel structure of the "observation wheel substructure".
