No Compromises: DYWIDAG Monostrand Tendons facilitate innovative
Execution of Green Hall 2 in Vilnius
Centrally located between the city center and the business quarter of
the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, a new office building is being built that
will complement the existing Green Hall building: Green Hall 2.
The building, which is located next to
Neris River, will accommodate offices on a
total area of 10,000m². Green Hall 2 is one
of the most energy efficient buildings to be
constructed in the last few years and uses
natural ventilation as well as solar energy.
During construction, no compromises
were tolerated that would have interfered
with the original innovative concept of the
architects. The design and the stipulated
extraordinary form of the building also
required unusual structural solutions using
104
cast in place concrete. This also included
the suggestion of prestressing the building’s
floor slabs using unbonded post-tensioning
tendons.
DSI’s Lithuanian partner company Delta
Nova coordinated closely with the project’s
structural engineers and carried out the
post-tensioning work for this project as a
subcontractor. The slabs were post-tensioned
using approximately 1,300 Type SK 6-1,
ME 6-3 and ME 6-4 DYWIDAG Monostrand
Tendons with a total weight of 40t.
