Ub-Contractor goebel concrete forming Inc. has used Meva's Imperial wall formwork system in combination with its KLK climbing system, during construction of the 21 storey, 250 ft (76 m) high Grand Orleans Condominium, Chicago, US.
The Condominium's lower seven levels provide parking space for about 110 cars. On top of this are 14 storeys of condominiums, seven per floor. The entire perimeter walls were formed using 8' by 1.5' (2.44 by 0.46 m) panels to reach the wall height of 5 (2.90 m).
