The delivery and partial assembly of the so-called “crane legs”. For Block B these are completely assembled columns made of steel and for Block E3 and H the steelwork was used as aesthetic cladding of prefabricated concrete elements. For all three blocks, these “crane legs” make these buildings unique and are a nod to the industrial environment.
All the steelwork is provided with a multi-layer coating, suitable for maritime applications.
