This skyscraper standing in Lujiazui, Pudong is scheduled to be officially completed in March 28, and its roof height and accessible height have set the world's first record.
Jiang Zhiquan, one of the general contractors of Shanghai World Financial Center and chairman of Shanghai Construction Engineering Group, told reporters yesterday that China people are fully capable of independently building skyscrapers of any difficulty in the world.
492m: The height of the roof is the highest in the world
Yesterday morning, a heavy rain came to Shencheng. At 9: 3 in the morning, I looked up at the majestic Shanghai World Financial Center from the ground, but I saw that the roof was shrouded in fog and there was no end in sight. However, just a few minutes before the capping ceremony, the rain gradually weakened and the fog gradually dispersed, and the outline of the whole building suddenly became clear.
before lifting the steel beam, more than 2 leaders and distinguished guests attending the capping ceremony screwed 2 gold-plated screws symbolizing the capping of the structure on the capping steel beam and signed them as a souvenir.
After the program "Screwing Screws", Mori Haosheng, Chairman of Shanghai World Financial Center Co., Ltd., Sun Wenjie, General Manager of China Construction Corporation, and Jiang Zhiquan, Chairman of Shanghai Construction Engineering Group jointly promoted the joystick for hoisting steel beams. At 1: 35, a yellow capped steel beam with a length of 4.5 meters and a weight of 4 tons was hoisted from the rope hanging from the top floor of the building to the top floor of 492 meters. At about 1: 45, Mori Minoru, president of the main investor of the project, announced in Chinese excitedly that "the Shanghai World Financial Center has been capped successfully" amid firecrackers.
The builder of the Construction Engineering Group confirmed yesterday that the roof height of the Shanghai World Financial Center is 492 meters, which exceeds the China Taipei 11 Building (48 meters) with the highest roof height in the world. The "Sightseeing Pavilion" built on the 1 th floor of the World Financial Center and 472 meters above the ground is the tallest building that people can reach in the world, surpassing the CN TV Tower in Canada (447 meters), which is the world's first viewing platform at present.
1m/s: Sightseeing elevator is the fastest in China
Yesterday, while the building was capped, professional construction of electromechanical and decoration was also under way. It is expected that all the projects will be completed next spring. At that time, if you take the sightseeing elevator from the ground floor to the "sightseeing pavilion" at 472 meters, it will take about 48.7 seconds. The fastest speed of the sightseeing elevator can reach 1 meters per second, which is the fastest in China at present. It is reported that 126 elevators will be installed in the building, including 91 straight elevators. The underground garage of the building can park 11 cars.
In the field of construction technology, Shanghai World Financial Center has also created a series of records, such as the first use of the integral construction technology of tower large-scale pipelines in China, and the first installation of wind dampers in skyscrapers in mainland China to prevent buildings from shaking due to strong winds.
In addition, the construction technology of integral toilet, which is rare in China, is adopted in the project, that is, the whole toilet is transported to the site after being assembled in the factory and directly docked with the reserved gateway.
15 years: it is estimated that the investment can be recovered
According to Mori Minoru, the total investment of Shanghai World Financial Center is 125 billion yen. Among them, the cost of land, construction and loan interest is 115 billion yen, and the remaining 1 billion yen is used to invest in the establishment of hotel operating companies and sightseeing facilities operating companies.
how many years will it take to recover such a large-scale investment? The calculation result of Mori Building Co., Ltd. is 15 years. The main reason for its optimism is its optimism about China's economic development and Shanghai's top office market.
It is understood that the rent of Shanghai World Financial Center is initially set at $3 per square meter per day, which is the highest rent among the existing office buildings in Shanghai. Mori Haosheng said that the occupancy rate of the office building was originally expected to be 3% when it opened, and now it seems that the occupancy rate will reach 4% by then.
At present, the tenants who intend to settle in Shanghai World Financial Center are mainly international financial institutions, as well as some world-class law firms and consulting companies.
Sen Building Co., Ltd. predicts that when the occupancy rate of Shanghai World Financial Center reaches 1%, there will be nearly 15 major financial institutions in the world with about 12, employees.
