NEW NAUTILUS in Istanbul
by Nikola Tosic, 7 July 2016
This is one of the many large-scale projects in which was used NEW NAUTILUS the
system for the lightening of bidirectional slabs with flat intrados.
We are in Istanbul Turkey and this is Marmara Kule a residential and business centre that stands up above
the buildings of the city.
NEW NAUTILUS was an excellent choice because it is ideal for multi-storey buildings. In comparison to a
solid ceiling, our formwork permits a significant concrete save up to the 20%. This reduction allows the
limitation of the total load above the pillars and the foundations, reducing also the costs of the
work.
The formwork is light and easy to install in any type of worksite. The final result permits the creation
of a lightweight slab with a perfect seismic response.
