Scope of Work

The new Supreme Court Building is a dramatic example of the beauty of composite structural steel with the frame being exposed internally and externally to support the weight of the building with lightness and elegance. TTJ's scope of work is supply, fabrication and erection of the structural steelworks for the 9 storey building including the 1500 tons disc structure at its top. Besides the
structural steelwork, TTJ also installed the precast columns, beams and wall panels.

The most challenging work was encountered in the disc structure. The disc structure was supported by two core walls located internally and eight pairs of V-shaped inclined pipe columns spaced around the perimeter. The disc structure itself was built on storey high vierendeel trusses.
