A residential construction project in Växjö required a high-performance facade access solution to overcome common challenges in modern bricklaying and exterior construction.
The Y-Tower now stands completed, with its natural stone façade serving as a testament to the synergy between architectural ambition and engineering innovation. Scanclimber’s MCWPs not only enabled the successful execution of this challenging project but also demonstrated the brand’s commitment to providing solutions that enhance efficiency, safety, and precision.
The demolition project in Berlin presented a unique and demanding challenge in its efforts to dismantle three 80-meter-high chimneys located atop a 100-meter-tall structure. Traditional methods of deconstruction proved impractical due to the absence of cranes and the complexities of transporting workers and equipment to such heights. Scanclimber’s Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWPs) delivered an effective and innovative solution to overcome these obstacles.
For the “L’Arc de Triomphe Wrapped” project, the Christo team and Les Charpentiers de Paris chose Scanclimber to design and supply a number of access platforms. These were specially adapted for the installation of the structures that support the covering fabric under the vault of the Arc de Triomphe.
The Onkalo nuclear waste disposal facility under construction in Olkiluoto, Finland, will be the world’s first permanent geological repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. Posiva is using a Scanclimber hybrid hoist-work platform SC2000 in assembly work inside the personnel shaft in Onkalo. The product was custom-built according to Posiva’s requirements. The SC2000 hoist-work platform is a hybrid of a hoist and a mast climber (MCWP).

In 2017, Deutsche Telekom vacated a high-rise building in Bielefeld, Germany. Subsequently, the idea was to convert it into a residential student building. The centrally located facility has 18 floors and stands 76m tall or 95.5m when including the building’s telecommunications tower. The Goldbeck Nord GmbH construction company used Scanclimbers SC8000 twin unit mast climber with a full-length capacity of 46.2m for the facade renovation work.
