The triple tower development designed as a new headquarters building for Maybank involved diaphragm wall construction incorporating a nine level underground carpark. The basement slab required approximately 24,000m3 of Xypex Admix dosed masscrete. Commencing on the 26th September 1997, the initial pour of approximately 13,200m3 was conducted over a 60 hour period, it was then and remains today the third largest continuous pour conducted in the world and the largest in S.E. Asia.
With a minimum thickness of 2.5 metres, the slab is up to 6.89 metres thick in areas and averages in excess of 5.0 metres.
Xypex Admix C-Series (dosed at 3kg/m3), was selected for the project to assist with control of the heat of hydration; to reduce shrinkage cracking; to give the slab enduring 'self healing' capacity and to waterproof the concrete as well as increase it's strength and durability. (Peak temperature for the first mass pour was approximately 69oC and differentials approximately 12oC).
