UGMK Business Centre, Ekaterinburg City

The Ekaterinburg City skyscraper quarter is a majestic project that represents the modern look of the city and its desire for innovation in construction. This audacious complex is a major architectural ensemble of high-rise buildings that is created using advanced technologies, including concrete filled steel tubes.

Concrete filled steel tubes are an innovative solution to ensure the strength and stability of high-rise buildings. They consist of steel tubular sections that are filled with reinforced high-strength concrete, giving them additional strength. This design significantly reduces construction time and ensures a high degree of safety.

Concrete filled steel tube technology is also ideal for construction in urban areas where access to the construction site is limited and environmental impact needs to be minimized. Due to their relative lightness and compactness, concrete filled steel tubes can be easily transported and assembled on site, thus reducing time and money needed.

The Ekaterinburg City skyscraper quarter that is built using concrete filled steel tubes will become a symbol of modern architecture and technological progress, as well as an example of sustainable and efficient use of resources in the construction of megacities.

UGMK Business Centre

The concept of inner space is office premises and public spaces in a single system, where everything ensures the comfort of residents.

The unique identity of the project: maximally flexible and adaptive office layouts that can be easily changed to meet the specific needs of business and employees.

Infrastructure of the business centre:

• Office space;
• a food hall on Floor 2;
• a restaurant with panoramic view on Floor 21;
• a panoramic conference hall
• a heated three-level parking garage that will unite the entire underground space of Ekaterinburg City.

The concept of work-life balance that creates a balance between work and other aspects of life will be implemented in the project. The new space will include a variety of different areas for work, recreation and sports.

DESIGN FEATURES OF THE PROJECT:

The structure of the building is a reinforced concrete frame space framework with rigid floor diaphragm to walls and columns joints, as well as rigid vertical structures to the foundation joints.

Floor-to-floor height:

– Floor 3 – 3.6 m

– Floor 2 – 3.45 m

– Floor 1 – 3.3 m (4.8 m is the clear height in the substructure)

Floor 1 - 6.3 m (second-level space is 10.8 m)

Floor 2 – 4.5 m

Floor 3 to 5 – 4.2 m

Floor 6 to 22 – 3.9 m

Floor 23 – 5.55 m and 6.83 m

Load-bearing vertical structures of the underground part of the building:

Reinforced concrete walls – B30 concrete, A240/A500C reinforcement.

Circular concrete filled steel tubes of the underground part with 9x9 (8.8, 9, 9.8) m pitch:

– 720 mm diameter, C440 steel  

– 630 mm diameter, C440 steel

Core: B60 self-compacting concrete, A600C longitudinal reinforcement

Load-bearing vertical structures of the above-ground part of the building:

Walls of staircase and elevator units – B30 concrete, A240/A500C reinforcement.

Circular concrete filled steel tubes with 9x9 (8.8, 9, 9.8) m pitch:

– 720 mm diameter, C440 steel

– 630 mm diameter, C440 steel

– 530 mm diameter, C440 steel

– 426 mm diameter, C440 steel

Core: B60 self-compacting concrete, A600C longitudinal reinforcement

Monolithic beamless hollow-core 300mm thick concrete floor slabs and cover. The thickness at particularly loaded areas is increased to 450 mm – B30 concrete, A240/A500C reinforcement.

To form voids, prefabricated plastic waterproof stay-in-place formwork elements of a square truncated pyramid shape are used; these elements are manufactured by Sibforma LLC (Novosibirsk).
