Project Description

High rise buildings designed as twin towers often need a connecting footbridge at a high level. In this case the Damas Towers are connected by two small footbridges positioned on level +22 m and +165 m. The most efficient solution to install footbrigdes on higher level, is lifting the complete footbridge to its final position.

The lifting was performed by 4 lifting units SLU 10/200 with an average speed of 13m/h during the lift. The whole lift up to +165 m took 13 hours altogether because of strong winds during the beginning. To prevent swinging during the lift, 4 guiding cables had been spanned crossed to ground and progressively released during the operation.
