Petronas Twin Tower

The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur were the tallest buildings in the world at the time of their completion.

They are still the tallest twin towers in the world today and stand approximately 460 m high. The maximum concrete height is 384 m on level 84 of the 88 levels accessible to the public. The last four floors are constructed of steel.

Heidelberg Materials Malaysia was the exclusive ready-mixed concrete supplier for this prestigious project and successfully produced and pumped 160,000 m³ of high-strength concrete for the structures. The twin tower’s foundation was one of the largest continuous concrete pours in the region at the time – 12,000 m³ in a single pour within 42 hours.

The contractors wanted a reputable, reliable and professional supplier in order to ensure the short-term project and construction goals together with the long-term durability goals were exceeded. Heidelberg Materials was chosen on the basis of our global strength, professional reputation and quality products.

At that time, the twin tower's foundation was one of the largest continuous concrete pours in the region-a single pour of 12,000 cubic meters completed in less than 50 hours. Our performance was featured in documentary on the Discovery Channer entitled Man Made Marvels-Petronas Twin Tower
