HI-CON BUILDS IN THE GREEN HEART OF ODENSE

Balconies, columns, and railings for Odense's most talked-about construction project

ELEMENTS IN ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE

Hi-Con has been chosen to produce balconies, columns, and railings in Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) for Odense's most talked-about construction project, Gartnerbyen.

The first groundbreaking has taken place, and the construction is underway. The building is part of the final development of Gartnerbyen and has been named "Trekløveren" (The Clover), as the construction consists of three identical point buildings.

Trekløveren is one of the final sub-elements, which will house 89 apartments, and thus completes the nearly 2,000 homes that make up Gartnerbyen.

The buildings are being constructed in a green and nature-rich area of Gartnerbyen, located close to the city center. Trekløveren is also positioned at the entrance to Gartnerbyen and will thus be seen as the face of Gartnerbyen.

Trekløveren is an additional contribution to Gartnerbyen's sustainability-certified residential buildings and is expected to be more environmentally friendly in both the construction process and the final result. This means that the new construction is being carried out with a focus on environmental processes and is expected to achieve a DGNB silver certification, which UHPC will help attain.

PROJECT DETAILS

For the project, Hi-Con will contribute both balconies, columns, and railings. We will deliver 64 UHPC CRC i2® balconies of three variants:

Variant 1 consists of 40 UHPC balconies with dimensions of 3.77 x 2.70 m

Variant 2 consists of 12 UHPC balconies with dimensions of 2.94 x 3.06 m

Variant 3 consists of 12 UHPC balconies with dimensions of 6.30 x 3.06 m

Additionally, the balconies will have a slab thickness of approximately 70 mm with a slope towards the front edge, and they will be made with a standard profiling and a rough-rolled underside.

Furthermore, Hi-Con will deliver 76 UHPC RHS columns with dimensions of 120 x 120 x 5 mm and a height of approximately 3.0 m. The columns will be used as support for the balconies.

General Contractor: H. Skjøde Knudsen A/S

Trekløveren is expected to be completed by 2023.
