Morocco’s Mohammed VI Tower Reaches 75% Completion in Structural Phase

The work on this site located on the right bank of the Bouregreg river in Salé is progressing at a good pace, according to a statement by Haddaoui to the news channel MAP (M24). The structural work for the base is 90% complete, while the work on the steel frame is 50% complete for the tower. As for the foundation work, it is already completed. The tower is taking shape with the walls of the core reaching R+32 and the steel frame being installed on the R+13 / R+14, details Haddaoui, who is delighted with the dynamism and professionalism of the managers of this major project, committed to the best international standards, in terms of architecture, construction techniques and environmental integration. On this last aspect, this project is part of a very strict and rigorous approach in terms of environmental preservation and protection, aiming for the double LEED Gold and HQE certification, noted the director.

On this site, 810 people are mobilized, including about sixty managers, executives, engineers and architects; about 750 workers divided into a day shift and a night shift, provide the direct labor, informs the director, saluting the managers who "rely on the complementarity of international teams with experience in high-rise towers and buildings and the very good Moroccan skills recognized for their rigor and professionalism, which allow to ensure the steering and monitoring of studies and works".

These works are carried out according to a rigorous specification extended over the entire duration of the project in the implementation as well as in the operation. All these provisions to ensure the best comfort for the users while ensuring durability in maintenance and operation.

It should be noted that the building was designed by the architects Rafael de la Hoz of Spain and Hakim Benjelloun of Morocco. The project management and project management assistance teams are predominantly Moroccan. There are also Moroccans among the engineering firms or specialized consultants. This does not exclude the use of international experts when the specificity of the subject requires it.
