In close collaboration with the renowned Viennese architect’s office “hnp architects” a unique residential project was realised. This project connects all generations and life stages including a kindergarten, various types of apartments and community housing. The tower is 21 storeys high. The four basements were constructed using the Low Impact Development strategy. They include parking space and technology rooms. The foundation is made as a combined pier-slab foundation with a total of 88 drilled piers. Due to the very complicated building geometry the Revit-to-SCIA Engineer plug-in proved to be a big help with modelling. The exact 3D calculation model was generated from the architect’s BIM model. As a result, it was possible to effectively and exactly analyse the vertical as well as horizontal load distribution due to wind and earthquake. Moreover, the calculated results on slabs were sent from SCIA Engineer to Allplan, where reinforcement drawings were produced. The ability to analyse construction phases within SCIA Engineer were used within a frame of a research project focusing on monitoring of reinforced columns. With the support of the Vienna University of Technology, the aim of the project is to optimise the analysis model so that future building projects can be realised even more sustainably than already today. Porr Design & Engineering GmbH Contact Hans Humpel Address Absberggasse 47 1100 Wien, Austria Website www.porr-group.com PORR Design & Engineering, PDE for short, combines the entire planning and calculation of the PORR Group with a focus on building construction. However, special expertise such as sustainability and building information modelling (BIM), which are relevant to the Group, are also located in the PDE. As an independent subsidiary, the PDE was founded in June 2012 in Vienna, Austria. The founding of the German subsidiary in Berlin followed in November 2013. Today, PDE maintains further locations in Linz, Salzburg, Premstätten, Düsseldorf, Dresden, Munich and Warsaw. In 2015, with our nearly 300 employees, we generated a total turnover of around €30 million. MySky Residential and Student Building - Vienna, Austria
