When precision is also measured in height
The construction of Terminal T1 at Barcelona Airport was a major project to expand and modernize a strategic airport infrastructure. A large-scale project in which MAQUIOBRAS took part with formwork solutions for vertical elements and high-rise structures.
Building at height, with precision
The execution of an airport infrastructure of this size posed a range of construction requirements. Among them, the construction of singular vertical elements, such as the control tower, required working with systems capable of adapting to the geometry of the elements and to execution at height.
The challenge lay not only in solving the formwork for each element, but in having the right solutions to move forward with a vertical construction of these characteristics.
A combination of systems to advance at height
MAQUIOBRAS supplied circular metal formwork and phenolic formwork systems, together with climbing systems for the execution of the vertical elements.
The combination of these solutions made it possible to address the project's different needs, adapting the formwork system to the characteristics of each element and to the conditions of working at height.
An experience in which height, geometry and the progression of the structure required the system to keep pace with the advance of construction.
A solution designed to grow
MAQUIOBRAS' participation in Barcelona Airport's T1 reflects its ability to combine different formwork systems to meet the specific needs of a large-scale project.
