Building - Infrastructure
For the construction of the building we use vibrationless slurry wall techniques to create the construction pit walls instead of vibrating sheet piles and drilled foundation piles. The foundation and the bottom three floors will be constructed using traditional building methods. The other floors will be built using a tunnel construction method by pouring the walls and floors into what looks like an enormous heavy box.
The roof gardens on the outside of the tower show the green character of the Galaxy Tower. With solar panels on the roofs and the façade, the tower has a high sustainability factor. There is heat and cold storage in the soil, and all 317 apartments are to be gas-free. After completion, the Galaxy Tower will be a green addition to the Jaarbeursplein in Utrecht.
