The project involves the construction of huge glass "sheds", under which will be located workplaces and public spaces. Their configuration, unlike floors, can be easily transformed to accommodate changing office requirements within the company and around the world.
It is the construction - and the later restructuring and repair - of these light modular structures that will be entrusted to "crabot - crane" (crane + robot, robot), mobile cranes with a lifting capacity of no more than 10 tons, with high maneuverability.
The structure of the campus buildings will be an “integrated” system of steel columns and monocoque floor slabs (5 mx 14 m steel “trays”). More details about the Google Campus project can be found in our
previous post about him.
