Majestic Residence on Phra Tamnak Hill in Pattaya hit the headlines over the summer time of 2021 when architect Mario Kleff demolished two villas and started constructing a brand new one, utilising the best in German engineering.
Reliable , underneath the direction of CEO Mario Kleff, began work in June of this 12 months. The Substructure work, consisting of 100+ piles and enormous concrete foundations had been laid first, allowing the new villa to be safely and firmly set on the rock. 100 tons of metal and seven hundred m3 of high-strength concrete combine had been used for the construction work on the muse, swimming pool and basement.
What followed would impress some of the world’s greatest engineers, as massive metal girders have been ready for the two upper floors, sitting on a 48-meter-long steel girder – forty eight meters is the gap between the 2 pillars, representing the width of the property. On top of it’s a heavily post-tensioned concrete slab with a thickness of over 35 cm.
In residential buildings, like villas and bungalows, steel girders or metal beams with a length of 6 to 12 meters are generally used. Girders over 20 meters are rarely found even in heavy constructions, such as automobile parks or public buildings. So for this local challenge to include an almost 50-metre long steel girder, it speaks wonders for the means ahead for villa development and engineering in Thailand.
We spoke to Mr Kleff about the challenge, and he had this to say, “Apart from the fact that the Wandeegroup is constantly pushing the boundaries in Thailand development, the wide and column-free home windows that this villa possesses actually is a singular engineering feat for Thailand.
“There are varied ways of making column-free areas, however the integration of wide-span mobile beams and post-tensioned concrete slabs had been the most suitable for this challenge. However, 48 meters from column to column is unprecedented in Pattaya.
“We have buildings constructed outside of Thailand with spans of over 30 meters and have designed buildings with spans of 40 meters, but 48 meters is the first construction under construction.”
When The Thaiger started reporting on this venture in Pattaya, nobody would have anticipated such a design. Now it turns into clear why Mario Kleff is to turn out to be a registered trademark for architectural design in Thailand and past.
Buildings with such an method can be categorised as architectural artwork. We’ll remember to follow up on this challenge and report the ultimate images when it is completed. For now, here’s an action shot of the contractors hard at work..
