Engineering in Action: Construction of a Reinforced Concrete Tower.

The process of constructing a reinforced concrete tower generally follows these steps:

Site Preparation: Before beginning construction, the site where the tower will be built must be cleared and leveled. Excavation is carried out, and foundations are placed.

Structure Assembly: The steel reinforcement is placed as support and reinforcement of the concrete, following a structural design previously calculated by specialized engineers.

Concrete Pouring: Concrete is poured into the molds that have been prepared to give shape to the tower structure. The concrete must be of high quality and resistance to ensure the durability and stability of the structure.

Curing: Once the concrete has been poured, it must be allowed to cure for a specific period of time. During this process, proper maintenance of humidity and temperature is carried out to ensure that the concrete acquires the necessary strength.

Systems Installation and Finishing: After the concrete has cured, electrical, hydraulic, and ventilation systems are installed, as well as internal and external finishes to give the tower its final appearance.

Final Testing and Verification: Finally, final testing and verification are carried out to ensure the safety and functionality of the tower, and the project is handed over to the client.
