A prominent feature of Amman’s new Abdali downtown renovation, The W Amman Hotel and Tower project is a uniquely asymmetrical, thirty-seven story tower. A twelve-metre cantilever at one edge of the building is supported by a sloping, reinforced concrete frame rooted at the base of the tower.

Scope of Work: 

The project was awarded to the main contractor on Design & Build basis, where e.construct developed the concept design into construction level design.

Special Feature: 

The unique nature of the building brings up a high structural and construction challenge. The large cantilever of the building creates a natural tendency for the building to laterally displace under gravity loads. This effect would continue to occur due to creep and shrinkage of concrete.

Special Feature of e.construct Service: 

Through comprehensive finite element modeling and design, such effects could be realistically assessed and accounted for in design and achieve safe performance of the building.
