Breathtaking video: building the MOL Campus 143 metres high in Budapest

One of Budapest’s most significant megaprojects, the MOL Campus, was built by Market Építő Zrt. as part of the new Danube-front district BudaPart in District XI.

The text accompanying the video recently published on Facebook summarises the work in figures, pointing out its huge scale, writes Magyar Építők. The building is:

  • 143 metres high,
  • 4 levels below the surface,
  • 28 office levels above the surface;
  • with a completely unique spatial design,
  • with a total gross floor area of 86.000 m², the MOL Campus is a professional feat.

Several innovative solutions have been presented to support this latter claim. We learn that the project included the construction of one of the largest automatic crawler tunnels in Europe and the first in Hungary; that slab concreting was carried out at a maximum speed of every 8 days; and that an average of 1,200 people worked on the site every day, with 1,800 workers at peak times.

The construction period was 3 years.

  1. Over 100 story Empire State Building was built brick for brick – no computers – few power tools almost 100 years ago in one year (13 months)
