World’s highest residential tower build using precast elements!

Rotterdam at the top. The 215-metre-high residential tower that will rise from the northern foot of the Erasmus bridge in the coming years will be entirely constructed from prefab elements. An innovative construction method for a building of this size. The Brabant company Byldis – until recently known as Hurks building components and engineering – will supply the material and assembly for construction firm BAM. The realisation of De Zalmhaven starts in October 2018.

VELDHOVEN - The Veldhoven-based construction company Byldis is to construct the Netherlands’ highest residential tower in Rotterdam. The 215-metre-high building will be entirely constructed from facade elements that are manufactured in the factory and assembled on site. 

Byldis is the industrial construction components division of Hurks that became independent in 2017. The company previously built so-called precast residential towers in London, up to 110-metres-high. In terms of precast construction, the Rotterdam tower will be the highest in the world.
