    Lotte World Tower, Seoul

    Building details

    Building Name:
    Lotte World Tower

    Building Architect:
    Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates

    Project Overview

    This iconic, supertall skyscraper is the tallest in Korea, the tallest building in any of
    the 35 member countries of the OECD, and the fifth tallest building in the world. The
    design features an elegant, slender cone shape with convex, gently curved sides. An
    exterior of pale-coloured glass draws inspiration from Korean ceramics and features
    accents of metal filigree. The development is home to retail outlets, offices, residences,
    a luxury hotel and public access floors with an observation deck.

    Manntech always take pride in providing the best facade access solutions possible.
    For this project we not only met the specifications of the client in terms of the
    number and location of machines but produced final, detailed designs with machine
    functionality which improved efficiency and simplicity of use beyond what was
    expected.

    Facts and Figures This supertall building required a facade access solution with a total of seven crane-
    type Building Maintenance Units (BMUs). Four BMUs are located inside the building
    itself at level 73. Each machine is dedicated to a zone covering one quadrant of the
    building, and the telescoping jib extends from huge opening gates integrated within
    the building facade. Articulated arms mean that the jibs can all slew once clear of the
    Commencement: gate. Three BMUs are located higher up the building to service from level 125 down to
    May 2012 level 73. Because the building is tapered and conical the cradles are designed to roll
    down the facade.
    Completion:
    May 2016 A particular challenge was the limited space available for the BMUs at level 73. The
    project required the functionality of relatively large machines but also called for them
    Building Height: to rotate inside the building when not in use. Manntech were able to provide a more
    555 metres compact solution for the level 73 machines than any other provider.
    Floor count:
    123

    Access solution:
     All Type 6 crane type machines
