Description
This complex and aged building filled with various construction needs allowed ULMA to take part in its repurposing to maintain their historical structure of 1882. An apartment building located in Washington; DC will be the new Arlo Hotel; a 12-story building with 445 rooms blends rustic charm with modern amenities. Guests can expect a unique experience with guestrooms and suites featuring brick walls and vaulted ceilings. The hotel offers a vibrant ground floor with a bar, lounge, and meeting rooms along 3rd Street. Additionally, the new residential space will have amenities such as a premier restaurant and bar, fitness center, and rooftop lounge with panoramic views. With its blend of old-world charm and modern luxury, the Arlo DC promises an unforgettable stay in the heart of the city.
ULMA Solution
For this job, different ULMA product solutions were required because part of it was used in the rehabilitation work of the old building and other products were used for the new construction.
The project carries a range of shoring techniques tailored to structural elements. Our KSP platform system is used in internal hollow where space limitation is not possible to use climbing brackets (elevators, shaft, bridge piers and others) but provides support to the wall formwork and can be used to carry out various tasks. Combined with our MEGAFORM panels, a modular system designed for vertical formwork, supports the inside to create durable core walls. However, for this durability to be achieved, pairing it with a STRIPPING CORNER MAX is the ideal solution for stripping formworks for interior spaces, on each side for up to 16ft in height, holding our panels together to provide an easy stripping process after the concrete has been set. Our MEGAFRAME shoring system is a 10,000 pound per leg or (20,000 per frame) galvanized steel frame handset system, that supports a 36-inch beam pour of high elevation to achieve a high load capacity shoring solution. With our equipment we’re able to use high quality and tough material throughout the entire project.
