Shenzhen, known as the magic capital of the world, high-rise buildings are all over the jurisdiction, it is understood that the super high-rise (300 meters +) buildings that have been built have approached 20, and the protagonist of today's topic is the new landmark of Shenzhen Longgang District: Galaxy Abel WORLD Building, come and go with Xiao Qiu, editor of Longhui Engineering Network, to take a look at it!
Next, let's take a look at galaxy Abel World Tower (hereinafter referred to as Galaxy. Twin Towers) details.
Full name of the project: Galaxy Abel WORLD Building
Project coordinates: Shenzhen Longgang
Project height: 356 m (twin towers at the same height)
Project Developer: Galaxy Holdings
Project Construction: Shanghai Construction Engineering / China Construction Second Bureau
Project start/completion: 2017/2022
Located in the central axis of Shenzhen, Bantian - Longgang West Core, the superimposed urban core area and the world-class electronic information industry cluster bearing area dual location advantages. As a 1.6 million m Galaxy WORLD upgrade masterpiece, with a total construction area of more than 360,000 square meters, it is composed of east-west contour twin towers, with 73 floors above ground, covering vertical functions such as high-end business office, helipad, air enterprise headquarters lobby, shared conference center, staff canteen and so on, creating a skyline three-dimensional city that accommodates nearly 30,000 people working and living.
Galaxy currently under construction. The Twin Towers are particularly conspicuous, it is spectacular and rare in the world, the project is expected to be completed in 2022, that is, this year, Shenzhen's friends are blessed, and they can bring friends and family to witness its brilliance together.
It is reported that Galaxy. The Petronas Twin Towers are a high-specification Petronas Twin Towers building, from design to construction are carefully calculated, the height of each tower is 356 meters, and the design appearance, height, and construction specifications are consistent with the same high-rise buildings.
Such a tall building may be worried about how stable it is? This can be relaxed, ingenuity and casting, compact and stable.
Galaxy. The Petronas Twin Towers are designed to ensure the safety and stability of supertall buildings, exceeding the extreme requirements of conventional standards. It is reported that the total amount of steel used in the building is 65,000 tons, equivalent to 9 Elphi Towers, according to the calculation of 8mm diameter steel bars, the amount of steel used is 59460km, which can circle the earth for one and a half times.
And in order to reduce the structural wind load and vibration during earthquakes, the 70th floor of the east and west twin towers is equipped with a tuned liquid damper (TSD) to ensure the safety of the supertall building. According to Xiao Qiu, editor of Longhui Engineering Network, he learned that Galaxy. Petronas Twin Towers is the only supertall twin tower building in Shenzhen equipped with dampers.
Another proud thing is that in December 2021, the World Society of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) was certified as the highest level of the Shenzhen Galaxy Twin Towers at 356m (meters) / 1168ft (feet), and after completion, it was certified as "China's tallest isometric twin towers". Receiving this certification symbolizes the breakthrough and innovation of Shenzhen Galaxy Twin Towers in the technical dimension of super high-rise buildings, and refreshes the city skyline of the world with the attitude of proudly standing in the Bay Area.

You think of the galaxy. Is that the case with the Petronas Twin Towers? NO！
Galaxy. The Twin Towers will also cooperate with Tencent Cloud in depth to create ai-intelligent super high-rise buildings with Tencent Weihuan Internet of Things as the core of the system. At that time, AI intelligent face recognition system, intelligent parking system, AI energy management, etc. will all be used in it, and after completion, it will be a green, healthy, intelligent and safe super high-rise landmark.
