Wind turbines on the roof
The 185 m high skyscraper, at the top of which a wind turbine that powers the building's lighting was installed, is the tallest residential building in London.
One of the essential challenges in this project was to meet the architect's very detailed project-specific requirements. With special fixings in on-site shafts, the development of a special bottom rail and motors that were specifically procured for this building project, this worked out perfectly.
The logistical difficulty was to manufacture the sun shading products in our subsidiary WAREMA Sun Shading Systems Shanghai Co. Ltd. and deliver them to the facade manufacturer's factory in Shenyang. There the units were built into the facade elements in accordance with our specifications. Once the facade element had been installed on the site in London, a functional check was carried out and the external venetian blinds were commissioned.
