DC Tower 2

Originally, it was supposed to be a commercial tower. A twin for DC 1. However, after DC Tower 1 and Tower 3 were completed, there was a long period of restructuring. Now DC 2 will be built as a complementary tower with additional apartments – 53 storeys high. It will have five basement levels and an additional lower floor for the 3.8m-thick floor slab. We began the special civil engineering work in March 2022 and handed over everything on schedule in May 2023. It was, however, anything but straightforward. The most challenging part was the location of what was probably the deepest private sector construction pit in Vienna. One neighbour of the construction pit was DC 1 and 3 and their connecting structure. Other neighbours were the public

transport routes, such as the A22 motorway and its feeder roads in the northwest, west, and southeast, and the U1 underground line in the east. To the south, we had to account for the adjacent 2m-wide Wien Kanal network. These placed considerable demands on the 22.7m-deep construction pit. We deployed almost the entire range of special civil engineering techniques – from vibro-compaction, anchors, diaphragm walls, dewatering, low-pressure injections, and jet grouting to building construction and excavation. Our subsidiaries and affiliated companies enabled us to provide almost all services from a single source
