Structural topping off for the Urban Deca Cubao was recently held by 8990 Holdings Inc. and Megawide Construction Corp.
Urban Deca Cubao is a 47-storey, high rise mixed-use development, the latest project built by Megawide for 8990.
The partnership of the two companies began in 2014.
Demonstrated in the Urban Deca Cubao project are innovative engineering methodologies. Megawide’s proprietary precast technology allows for environmentally friendlier processes, lower overall costs, less labor requirements and faster turnaround time than conventional methods.
Megawide used precast in the interior and exterior walls, toilet units and stairs. These units are cast offsite then installed on the project site for faster delivery.
Advanced formworks systems, rather than the conventional formworks, also ensures a higher level of standardization in the structural process and only requires less rectification of details for finishing touches.
Megawide also has its own Construction Equipment, Logistics and Services unit that helped deliver more seamless operations, given the project site’s location and proximity to a major thoroughfare and residential areas.
The company employed tower cranes, passenger hoists, high-capacity trucks, and in-loaders for the transport of precast elements and other materials.
“Our goal is to continue elevating the engineering standards in the industry and we will work with developers in making low-cost housing more accessible to Filipinos. Our partnership with 8990 Holdings strengthens our vision of making the Philippines first world,” said Megawide Construction chief operating officer Frederick Tan ended.
