Photos reprinted courtesy of Kurt Motz e.K., Germany Initially, a z shaped low-rise 5 level building with one recessed stepped story and a gross floor area of approximately 10,000m² is being built on a property of roughly 6,000m². Daimler Financial Services AG is going to rent this office building for up to 600 employees. In a second step, this building, which is known as Skyline Office, will be complemented by the 75m high, 22 story Skyline Living apartment tower that will accommodate approximately 140 apartments. The project also includes a four level underground car park that will provide 345 parking spaces. 62,000m³ of soil had to be removed for the large-scale excavation of the project. DSI supplied 282 Type 3-0.6" and 4-0.6", 9 - 21m long, temporary DYWIDAG Strand Anchors for tying the excavation walls back safely. Approximately 4,020m of strand anchors were supplied in total.
