Shaping Skylines The Yvie (also known as Y-Towers), two buildings, respectively a 110 m-high hotel and a 101 m-high residential building, located in Amsterdam, stand as a striking example of modern architectural innovation. Its unique design and complex construction requirements presented a range of challenges, particularly in the installation of
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 Tractel by 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).
Around Heidelberg Europlatz main building, Zech had twelve Scanclimber SC8000 mast climbers with glide rails helping in a demanding window and facade element installation. The Zech installers fixed the elements from the mast climbers and used the glide rails to position the heavy window elements accurately.

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.
Opposite the Luxembourg railway station, the ‘Centre Postal Gare’ construction work is progressing at full speed. The building of the new official headquarters of the Luxembourg Post is on track for completion in 2022. The facade work started at the beginning of 2021 on the 27,700m2 complex.
Weather covers are used in the construction industry to protect buildings against bad weather and to keep structures dry during the construction process. Weather covers are also increasingly used in renovations – for example in roof replacement projects. The growing use of wood in construction, especially in Nordic markets, is also increasing demand. So far, the use of scaffolding to build a weather cover solution has been the norm.
You will find yourself working in a true partnership that results in an incredible experience, and an end product that is the best.
