Donau City Tower 2 (DC 2) in Vienna grows taller

With a height of 175 metres and 53 floors, DC Tower 2 will offer a lively mix of retail, restaurants, offices and flats with around 52,000 square metres of floor space. Loggias will be constructed for the residential units to create a sheltered opening from the interior to the exterior. Completion is planned for 2026.

MAX FRANK in Austria supervised the DC2 project from planning to construction. The Egcobox^® thermally insulating cantilever connector has been adapted to the existing geometries and delivered to the Oberndorfer precast plant for assembly.

The Egcobox^® cantilever connector guarantees a high fire resistance of at least 120 minutes with the non-combustible stone wool insulation material. The product fulfils national guidelines in Germany, Austria and the UK and effectively protects residents from the effects of fires in buildings.

The Egcobox^® cantilever slab connection for thermal separation of reinforced concrete cantilever slabs offers innovative solutions for safe balcony connections focussing on fire resistance and prevention of the spread of fire.
