If, until only a few years ago, multi-story construction systems were technically impossible to realize in Uzbekistan, owing to the constant seismic activities in that country, today’s architecture offers entirely new options

The especially designed sandwich walls of the DSK Binokor construction system are critical to ensure loadbearing capacity, also in the presence of strong earthquakes

Separation of the casting areas ensures optimal processing and top cycle times

The sandwich walls travel into an insulated intermediate
curing tunnel after the second casting process

Another technical highlight is the fully insulated Vario Cure curing chamber …

The new construction system was already successfully tested for earthquake resistance in October 2018

Construction systems up to 12 stories high with innovative hollowcore slabs are currently in the planning phase

The face of present-day Tashkent is characterized by modern architecture. The construction boom and the demand for new housing are unbroken. In Uzbekistan, which is located in a high-risk earthquake zone, earthquake protection plays a significant role. DSK Binokor has now developed an innovative construction system with which innovative architecture for residential buildings is becoming possible.

Tashkent, with more than 2 million inhabitants, has been not only the political, but also the cultural and economic hub of Uzbekistan since the 1990s. New residential buildings shoot up as fast as modern shopping malls, hospitals and universities. Today’s precast concrete architecture, thanks to industrialized prefabrication, make it possible to complete construction projects considerably faster. Exact and dimensionally stable walls and floors increase the quality of construction, provide outstanding thermal performance and are furthermore resistant to weather and fire.
