This present article describes the building process of a 484 dwelling complex built with precast RC Load-Bearing wall panels. This building, which reaches 20 storey high, includes too Shops, Offices, 4 garage floors and central services. The main interest of this complex is that it gets to be the highest building made with precast RC load panels in Spain. The building system which has been used is INDAGSA precast system. This is well known due to its approval technical document, which was conceived by the "Eduardo Torroja" Construction Sciences Institute (IETcc) (DIT 452).
INDAGSA works are also known to be accurate, tide up and clean. Due to these conditions, visits to the site were possible not only for the researchers but for the students of "Industrialization & Prefabrication building systems".
This article gives a good description of the industrialized systems involved in the building, trough this we try to show the capacities of precast RC load panel buildings, its advantages and the possibilities for evolution.
