Abstract:
An assembly system of vertical construction is used for the construction of a 16-story mixed-use residential development in Detroit’s Greektown district. The technology allows workers to assemble floor plates; façade elements; and selected mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems at ground level. One-by one, the assemblies are raised and locked into their final positions through connections with the building’s two reinforced concrete cores.
