Project Overview
The Sinochem Xiong’an Headquarters (“Building No. 001”) is located in the Headquarters Zone of Group 4 in the Xiong’an New Area Start-up Area. Its exterior is shaped like a “Peony Crown” and is known as the “Golden Reed”. The total floor area is approximately 114,900 m², with a building height of about 165 metres and 33 above‑ground floors. Upon completion, it will become the tallest building in Xiong’an. GETO provided complete formwork and scaffolding systems and innovative technologies to help build this landmark.
Project Characteristics
- Super high‑rise + irregular structure dual challenge – The building has a “Peony Crown” shape, an octagonal core wall, and a “crescent‑shaped” atrium. Each floor has a very high variation rate.
- High variation between floors – Standard floors cannot be standardised; a large number of irregular formwork units require precise prefabrication, imposing extreme demands on design, production and installation.
- Xiong’an speed requirement – As the tallest landmark in Xiong’an, the project demands extremely high construction speed and efficiency.
GETO Solution
- Parametric design system – Parametric modelling was used for the octagonal core wall and the “crescent‑shaped” atrium, enabling precise prefabrication of over 2,000 irregular formwork units to ensure perfect on‑site fit.
- Dynamic adaptation system – A unique “standard module + variable node” formwork combination was developed to perfectly handle the high variation rate between floors, achieving better‑than‑expected finishing quality.
- Super high‑rise rapid construction solution – By optimising the coordination between the climbing formwork and aluminium formwork, core wall construction reached one floor every 7 days – “Xiong’an speed” – with a 40% efficiency improvement.
- Green low‑carbon construction – The high reuse rate of aluminium formwork reduced on‑site construction waste by 80%, supporting Xiong’an’s green city vision.
- Digital management tools - The proprietary “Formwork Project Management System” enables real‑time quantity reporting, precise progress tracking, and a clear on‑site status overview.
- “3D lightweight” technology - field personnel can scan QR codes to quickly locate the current formwork position, helping workers assemble accurately and saving significant assembly time.
Project Value
- Technical benchmark – Parametric design, dynamic adaptation, and rapid super high‑rise construction provide a replicable technical path for super high‑rise irregular buildings.
- Xiong’an speed – One floor every 7 days for the core wall, 40% efficiency gain, setting a new construction benchmark in the new area.
- Green construction – 80% reduction in construction waste, practising Xiong’an’s “green, smart, innovative” principles.
- Digital leadership – The formwork management system and 3D lightweight QR code technology enable precise on‑site installation and visual progress management, greatly improving construction efficiency.
