World's Tallest Statue

 

Join us each week for a look at some stunning LATICRETE projects from around the world! This week we're showcasing the Statue of Unity in Gujarat, India - the world's tallest statue.

At 182m tall, this symbol of unity was built in honour of Sardar Vallabhai Patel, who had a huge hand in unifying a fractured India. It has claimed the “World’s Tallest” title from the Spring Temple Buddha in Lushan, China. Built by an army of more than 3000 engineers and workers, this statue of the politician known as The Iron Man of India was built through two structural concrete core towers, a steel framework and an exterior bronze panelling, all rising from a star-shaped base. 

The statue has become a world-famous tourist icon, with footfalls anticipated at 15,000 tourists every single day, and an observation deck created to accommodate up to 200 visitors at a time. The floor, naturally, has to bear the brunt of heavy treading and the knocks of muddy, dusty, gritty footwear which can damage and stain it. The designers specified heavy duty tiles to withstand the risk of extreme wear, and required a highly durable, shock resistant, high strength installation system that could bond to tiles and stones effectively and withstand a range of interior and exterior conditions. 

MYK LATICRETE in India was chosen to consult and provide the most suitable system for the installation of tiles and stone. MYK LATICRETE, which has been involved in many top-notch structures across India and South Asia, such as the TCS building and the Delhi Metro, had the technical prowess and the experience to address the critical needs of this mega project. A LATICRETE installation system proved to be the perfect solution to withstand the massive pressure that the statue was to be subjected to, while retaining the immaculate quality of the tiles and stones. LATICRETE contributed adhesives, grout, waterproofing, and stone care products to this massive project with over 180,000m² of tiled surfaces.

Façade Brochure

Planning on installing a tile, brick, or stone façade on your next project? Be sure to check out the LATICRETE Façade Tile & Stone Installation Systems brochure for your guide to the perfect installation systems backed by the best system warranties to give you peace of mind for years to come!

The LATICRETE® Façade System consists of a series of installation components which provide permanent, high strength, freeze/thaw, thermal and earthquake shock resistant exterior tile, brick or stone façades.

The LATICRETE Façade System features the following components: 

• High strength adhesives providing a high safety factor to resist gravity, wind and seismic movement loads; and flexibility to accommodate movement from thermal shock, moisture expansion and shrinkage drying of substrates

• A waterproofing membrane which reduces transmission of cracks through the façade, eliminating water leakage and reducing efflorescence

• Grout jointing materials formulated for high bond strength and flexibility to prevent cracking; they are durable enough to resist deterioration from exposure to sun, freeze/thaw cycling, pollution, ozone, and façade maintenance regimens.

Dubai Expo 2020

Take a look at the one of the most creative, ambitious projects that LATICRETE has been involved in! This water fountain is a featured piece in the currently ongoing 'Expo 2020' in Dubai, and was put together by the talented minds of WET Design.

Not only does this fountain look beautiful with its six spiralling pillars and vibrant circular tile pattern, it is part of a stunning performance of fire and water! The display is set to a piece of orchestral music written for the project by one of the world's foremost modern composers, Ramin Djawadi, who composed the iconic music from Game of Thrones, Iron Man, Pacific Rim, and many more.

The four-storey walls surrounding this fountain are giant water features which send 153 waves cascading in time with the music, while the six spires in the centre exhale hydrogen flames of neon green, red, pink, and yellow. The water is continually filtered and recycled within the system, and the hydrogen flames produce no harmful emissions, making the fountain a certified green project.

For the tiles, WET Design relied on the globally-renowned expertise of Australia-based tile company Everstone. Everstone knew that a project like this would require trusted, quality installation materials, and turned to LATICRETE to supply the grout and adhesive products for this incredible piece of art.
