One of MAURER's global projects is Butterfly Towers in Bucharest, Romania.
It was necessary to protect this structure from both seismic and wind loads. As seen in the images, 56 hydraulic dampers were used in the building. If the height of the structure is not suitable for foundation isolation and is too small for the TMD system, this method, i.e., hydraulic rods, is used. This is the best solution for such projects since achieving a similar effect would require designing the building with greater rigidity, which would lead to significant additional costs.
The building is also known as Orhideea Towers. The northern part of the building has a height of 85 m and consists of 17 floors. The southern part has a height of 64 m and consists of 13 floors. Construction began in 2015, and MAURER dampers were installed in 2017.
