DYWIDAG Monostrand Tendons secure flat slabs of luxury apartment building

"Europa-by-the-Sea" Condominium, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA

The new "Europa-by-the-Sea" condominium in Fort Lauderdale owes its name to the elements of Mediterranean style that can be found everywhere within the building and on the premises. The remarkable 15 story building with its simple elegance includes four residences on every floor named after the Mediterranean islands of Ibiza, Mykonos, Santorini and Mallorca. The two penthouses are named after the glamorous cities of St. Tropez and Marbella located on the Mediterranean coast.

All apartments are luxuriously furnished and equipped with sophisticated technology. Furthermore, the 2.75 m high walls provide the rooms with a spacious and unobstructed atmosphere. In addition, the development is arranged so that all units offer sweeping views to the ocean and the beautiful beach of Fort Lauderdale.

All floor slabs were pre-stressed using DYWIDAG Monostrand Systems, which contributed to ensure the simple elegance and lightness of the overall impression of the building while at the same time maintaining the best possible structural strength and stability. The economy and ease of installation of these flexible and high-quality DYWIDAG unbonded Monostrand tendons virtually predestined them for installation and securing of this landmark residential building. To this end, DSI USA supplied 335 km DYWIDAG Monostrands.
