EF 70 is a unitized facade system with a long tradition. Over a period of 20 years, many improvements and technical innovations have been implemented, ensuring the system remains competitive today in terms of its technical performance (resistance to wind loads, resistance to water leakage, air permeability, and thermal protection).
The trend towards rapid construction and tall buildings necessitated the development of facade systems with uniform units that are brought to the site as finished, prefabricated elements and fixed to the building structure via an anchor system.
The ASC engineering team was among the first to recognize the need for such systems, resulting in the first building with finished floor-height panels being executed more than 25 years ago on the Službeni list building in Belgrade in 1997. This marked the first steps, stemming from the investor’s requirement to replace the facade without a single day of work interruption.
A solution from the Italian company Al Progetti from Trieste was used with certain modifications. Collaboration was later established, and our team continued to develop this system into a true UNITIZED FACADE SYSTEM. Among the first more serious projects was AIRPORT CITY in Belgrade, initiated in 2003, which encompasses over 15 buildings, with “AIRPORT CITY 2400” currently being completed.
In addition to this project, many buildings have been executed in Serbia, Montenegro, the Russian Federation, Kuwait, and elsewhere.
Among others, this project in the unitized facade system is the best proof of the successful and quality solution provided by our team. In one place, one can see buildings constructed 20 years ago alongside the construction of new ones.
