据Cobb Business Journal报道,在2月27日宣布把电梯业务出售给由安宏资本、盛峰资本和RAG基金会组成的财团后,蒂森克虏伯位于美国亚特兰大的电梯试验塔仍继续施工。该试验塔高400英尺,位于The Battery Atlanta附近,是蒂森克虏伯北美总部创新及资质认证中心的一部分(Innovation and Qualification Center, IQC)。目前约有130名建筑工人在现场进行水泥浇灌,一天可以完成7英尺高的建筑主体。通过滑动模板的工序,工人们一周7天24小时不间断地浇灌水泥,以完成试验塔在四月完工的目标。最后将有200名建筑工人在整体面积为4.8英亩的IQC进行施工。蒂森克虏伯电梯业务发言人Dennis Van Milligen称,IQC的所有权将在交易完成的时候一并转移,目前正在商议有关IQC和试验塔的命名权和建筑标志等细节。
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.
