OREANDA-NEWS. September 12, 2013. ArcelorMittal steel is being used to build South America’s tallest skyscraper, the 237m Infinity Coast Tower. The tower is under construction in Balneario Camboriu, a beach resort in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina.

The 5,000 tonnes of products being delivered include rebar (CA50 and CA60), as well as annealed wires and nails. The completion of the delivery is predicted for 2016. Our steel, supplied from Juiz de Fora (Minas Gerais) and Piracicaba (Sao Paulo) sites to cut and bend company Dobracor, will be used in construction throughout the building.

The architecture is inspired by the modern skyline of Dubai and the building follows the latest sustainability standards. Plans include the reuse of rainwater for carwash services as well as soundproofing of the apartments that will be made possible by using ‘sound blankets’ made of recycled tires. High-durability ecological tiles that act as thermal and acoustic insulation will be laid throughout the building. The height of the building will be used as to generate energy from the downward movement of the elevators, which will be used to light the tower’s communal areas.
