The client of the project is Dubai Holding, a diversified global investment company with offices in 13 countries and more than 20,000 employees across ten key sectors: real estate, hospitality, leisure & entertainment, media, information & communication technology, design, education, trade, manufacturing & logistics, as well as science.
Various façade and installation systems as well as heavy-duty fasteners from the fischer group were used to construct the base of the observation wheel. The fischer fastening and system solutions firmly connect the base plates with the steel profiles. In hollow core slabs, the fischer universal mortar FIS V, together with suitable system components, securely anchored the attachments in the substrate. Here, a fischer anchor sleeve ensured that when inserting the anchor rod, the mortar was distributed exactly where needed, creating an optimal form fit in the chambers of the building material. Additionally, the fischer bolt anchor FAZ II was used in the concrete during the construction of the steel structure of the “observation wheel substructure”.
