THE INTERNATIONAL centre "Genex" is located on the left bank
of the river Sava and represents a unique
blending of the
business-apartment complex and with the already existing
buildings of the Congress Centre "Sava" and Inter-Continental
Hotel. The complex consists of 4 separate buildings for different
purposes: apartment-business, business, recreational-business and
power supply facility.
§
APARTMENT & BUSINESS BUILDING consists of 60 apartment
units, from flatlets to five-room Flats, with the area ranging from
30 to 370 m2, amounting to 35,000 m2 in total. The technological
concept of the building structure was established in such way that
the skeleton assembly system provided parallel
production in several places at the same time, thus the works were completed in
the shortest possible time, beating all the records. A temporary factory for casting of prefabricated elements was on the site.
The packages of 50-ton frames were Formed on the foundation slab. A special area for
adhesive prestressing of slabs in two directions of the capacity 300
m2 flat slabs per day, was built on the
site. Four-storey frames were cast on the site in the package and the frame
dimension was 5.0 x 16.5 m2, weight 50 tons.
The apartment business building has a cellar, a mezzanine, a technical floor plus six floors. The
building is equipped according to the most modern world standards.
§
BUSINESS CENTRE "GENEX" is the administrative-business building with 9
floors, 45 high above the terrain level and with dimensions 45 x
25 m in the base. The facade is of glass with
steel and aluminum construction. A staircase and four lifts provide vertical
communication within the building. The mechanical and all other
technical equipment necessary for maintenance of the
building is in the cellar premises under the
groundfloor level.
§
The structural system of the building is mixed: skeleton
with the stiffening walls, while the staticul system is such that all
vertical and horizontal locals are transmitted, via
horizontal
plate floors, on the walls and columns in irregular grid. The bearing elements of the structure are of reinforced and prestressed concrete and partially of steel composite girders. The floor slabs
were prestressed in two orthogonal directions by cables according to IMS system. They were
produced in a "package" on the level 0.00 containing eight pieces, one on top of the other, and
were divided vertically along one symmetry axis into two symmetrical packages, so that it was
possible to use a heavy assembly
"pulling" method.
§
SPORTS & RECREATIONAL CENTRE forms a functional unity with the apartment-business building
and consists of two levels.
Squash halls are on the first level, and covered tennis courts with cloakrooms and sport
equipment shops on the second level.
The sport centre is air conditioned and the tennis court floors
are heated so they can be used throughout the year.
§
POWER PLANT BUILDING with its architecture-composition solution including its
free-standing tower Forms an integral harmonious unity within the complex. The building is
of reinforced concrete and prefabricated, with linings of alukobond aluminum.
The peculiarity of the applied system of functioning in this building is that the used energy is
recuperated with the result that the energy expenses are
considerably reduced.
