High-Rise Buildings
The field, that Prota is most experienced in, is perhaps high rise building design. With its
accomplished team of engineers and the broad range of engineering software, either developed
by Prota researchers and/or those found in its comprehensive library, Prota has implemented a
great number of high rise building designs worldwide.

system selection consultancy. For almost all the projects designed and managed, feasibility
studies, cost and quantity estimations, technical specifications, and procurement consultancy
services are provided by Prota.
Prota engineers keep abreast of the literature and latest developments in their fields, and are
thus able to propose innovative system models in order to produce solutions that are
economical and aesthetically pleasing. Prota has established its expertise by using Top-down
methodology, in which steel and cast-in-place piles are used as columns and the structure is
constructed from top to bottom, in cases where the buildings are located in dense settlement
areas and on relatively poor soil conditions. The method has proven to be a cost effective way to
achieve safety for the neighboring buildings during construction.
