Petronas Towers
The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur were the tallest buildings in the world at the time of their completion.
They are still the tallest twin towers in the world today and stand approximately 460 m high. The maximum concrete height is 384 m on level 84 of the 88 levels accessible to the public. The last four floors are constructed of steel.
HeidelbergCement was the exclusive ready-mixed concrete supplier for this prestigious project and successfully produced and pumped 160,000 m3 of high-strength concrete for the structures. The twin tower’s foundation was one of the largest continuous concrete pours in the region at the time – 12,000 m3 in a single pour within 42 hours.
