據Cobb Business Journal報道,在2月27日宣布把電梯業務出售給由安宏資本、盛峰資本和RAG基金會組成的財團后,蒂森克虜伯位于美國亞特蘭大的電梯試驗塔仍繼續施工。該試驗塔高400英尺,位于The Battery Atlanta附近,是蒂森克虜伯北美總部創新及資質認證中心的一部分(Innovation and Qualification Center, IQC)。目前約有130名建筑工人在現場進行水泥澆灌,一天可以完成7英尺高的建筑主體。通過滑動模板的工序,工人們一周7天24小時不間斷地澆灌水泥,以完成試驗塔在四月完工的目標。最后將有200名建筑工人在整體面積為4.8英畝的IQC進行施工。蒂森克虜伯電梯業務發言人Dennis Van Milligen稱,IQC的所有權將在交易完成的時候一并轉移,目前正在商議有關IQC和試驗塔的命名權和建筑標志等細節。
THYSSENKRUPP ATLANTA TEST TOWER CHUGGING ALONG POST SALE
Construction on thyssenkrupp Elevator’s 400-ft-tall test tower, part of its new North American headquarters known as the Innovation and Qualification Center (IQC) next to The Battery Atlanta, is chugging along after thyssenkrupp AG inked a deal to sell its elevator division to a consortium led by Advent, Cinvin and RAG foundation on February 27, Cobb Business Journal, a division of Marietta Daily Journal, reports. Approximately 130 construction workers are onsite now for a continuous concrete pour involving a moving framework that advances the structure more than 7 ft a day. Using a process known as slip form, the workers pour concrete 24/7, and aim to have the tower topped out in April. There will ultimately be up to 200 construction workers at the 4.8-acre IQC. thyssenkrupp Elevator spokesman Dennis Van Milligen tells the source that, upon completion of the sale, ownership of the IQC will transfer, and that details about naming rights and signage for the IQC and tower are still being worked out.
