| Hochtief presents ’Secuplex’ tower at the Security fair Hochtief Construction AG will be presenting the world's first high-security tower - Secuplex - at the world safety fair Security in Essen, from October 10-13, 2006. The concept was developed by Hochtief Construction AG in cooperation with external partners. It functions with various architectural designs and can be implemented not just in office towers but also in hospitals, hotels or embassy buildings. Thanks to its flexible Modular Security System (MSS), Hochtief Construction can establish customized levels of security on the different floors without impact-ing on comfort and convenience or a building's architectural quality. In cooperation with architects KSP Engel und Zimmermann, Hochtief Construction has now developed the first prototype for a 400 meter tall building. Renowned planners and security specialists were involved in optimizing the concept. This concept conforms with all the recommendations and guidelines published by the American National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) following the attacks on the World Trade Center. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
