Page "Central Plaza, Hong Kong" Paragraph 16

In the final scheme, columns at 4. 6 m ( 15. 1 ft ) centres and 1. 1 m ( 3. 6 ft ) deep floor edge beams were used to replace the large steel corner columns.

As climbing form and table form construction method and efficient construction management are used in this project which make this reinforced concrete structure take no longer construction time than the steel structure.

And the most attractive point is that the reinforced concrete scheme can save HK $ 230 million compared to that of steel structure.

Hence the reinforced concrete structure was adopted and Central Plaza is now one of the tallest reinforced concrete buildings in the world.
