HI-CON PARTICIPATES IN CARLSBERGBYEN'S FINAL CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Vilhelm Hus receives 100 balconies in Ultra High Performance Concrete

ATTRACTIVE APARTMENTS IN COPENHAGEN

At Hi-Con, we are pleased to unveil one of our new projects. We will be contributing custom-made balconies in Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) to Vilhelm Hus, located in Carlsbergbyen in Copenhagen.

Vilhelm Hus, along with Beckmanns Tårn, will be the last construction of the nine towers that collectively form Carlsbergbyen in Copenhagen. Together, Vilhelm Hus and Beckmanns Tårn will comprise 196 apartments in various sizes. Vilhelm Hus will house 128 apartments, while Beckmanns Tårn will have 68 apartments.

In addition to apartments, Vilhelm Hus will feature offices, restaurants, and shops on the ground floor, creating an attractive environment for the residents of the apartments as well as the rest of Carlsbergbyen and Copenhagen.

The buildings are being designed by award-winning architect Dorte Mandrup, who has given Vilhelm Hus a contemporary character that creates coherence and harmony between the new and the old area. Additionally, the building is designed so that the facade facing the street opens up to the urban life, allowing residents to enjoy both daylight and the view.

PROJECT DETAILS

For the project, Hi-Con will deliver custom-made balconies in UHPC CRC i2. Hi-Con will provide a total of 100 parapet balconies, designed with parapets on both sides and a single slope over the front edge with a drip notch on the underside.

The balconies will have an effective width of approximately 0.9m, a length of about 3.0m, and a slab thickness of around 75-85 mm. All the casting surfaces of the balconies will have a smooth profiling, which is a Hi-Con standard, and a ribbed underside.
