The Designer

Solar Tower technology was designed by leading German structural engineer Professor Jörg Schlaich, a founding partner of the acclaimed structural engineering firm Schlaich Bergermann and Partner.

Schlaich Bergermann and Partner are renowned for designing and engineering a range of structures, including major buildings, large span bridges, stadiums and previously unimagined styles of roofs. Their groundbreaking designs maintain a balance between aesthetics and function and have become an international benchmark for structural design standards.

Some projects of significance are:

• Munich Olympics Stadium
• Ting Kau Bridge in Hong Kong
• Montreal Olympic Stadium

Schlaich Bergermann and Partner will collaborate on the Australian project in an equity for fee arrangement with its newly formed subsidiary Schlaich Bergermann Solar to provide the engineering input for scale up of the technology to Australian conditions and requirements (see company announcement Thursday September 20, 2001).

Engineering secondment from Schlaich Bergermann Solar will also provide hands on support at necessary intervals to contribute to the design adaptation process.
