Building for life.

The Merdeka 118 Tower is a 725-metre skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a 118-floor structure that consists of 400,000 m² of residential, hotel and commercial space. It is the tallest building in Malaysia and South-East Asia, and the world’s second tallest.

The contract to erect the tower’s spire was awarded to VSL, which supplied, installed and operated the heavy-lift system to raise a 160-metre spire to the top of this mega-building. The teams achieved this incredible feat through unique expertise as they designed the most suitable and innovative solution.

Another major challenge was the 616-metre elevation of the work platform, with monsoon weather conditions making the work even more challenging.

This technical exploit demonstrates Bouygues Construction’s expertise in design and engineering, as well as its ability to deliver optimal solutions for the most complex projects. The Merdeka 118 Tower stands as an impressive symbol of modern engineering and technical excellence.
