The structure has a construction area of ??more than 80,000sqm, of which 32,000sqm will be dedicated office spaces. Ten of the 24 floors of the building will be utilised as parking, while the first floor will house shops and restaurants. The building will house organisations such as Microsoft and Cinde, Costa Rica's investment agency.
Local contractor BILCO chose the two Potain cranes for the job. The MCT 205 and MC 205 B cranes lifted concrete, rebar, formwork, glass and other materials needed for the project.
“Our client BILCO opted for these cranes due to their versatility, load charts and reach,” said Stefano Santini, general manager of EuroMateriales, Costa Rica’s exclusive Potain distributor and crane rental specialist who provided the cranes for the project.
The cranes worked without any issues on the project for 16 months. They have already been dismantled and the US$50m building has opened.
