The second-tallest building in the world, behind the Burj Khalifa.

The Design Engineers and Construction Team for PNB-118 Tower selected BauGrid Reinforcement in the most congested column sections of the core wall, at the lower levels of the structure.

“There is no better way to build reinforced rebar cages for high-rise structures than with BauGrid Reinforcement. The system helped us reduce rebar congestion significantly and made the construction of our largest columns possible. The system facilitated accurate and efficient application of self-climbing forms for the most congested area at the bottom 6 floors. The consistency and precision of longitudinal rebar placement using BauGrid significantly improved form climbing and concrete placement.” -Mr. Kamal Kang, Senior Construction Manager, Samsung C& T Construction, South Korea.
