The Main idea of choosing this type of projects ‘Transportation Hub’ is due to the need of solving a functional and social problem which is lack of transportaion and crowdness on the ring road of el marg in cairo ‘egypt’ .
So why not ? making a new smart metro and monorail stations along the ring road that starts from ‘ADLY MANSOUR STATION’ and ends in ‘Mehwar 26 July’
to facilitate the transportation movements along the day time .Therefor, to act on the project’s function and increase the outcome and job opportunities, so it was important to add an ‘Entertainment Zone , Commercial Zone and Governmental interests Zone with a Rental Tower ,So that BIRKAT EL HAJJ STATION WAS DESIGNED TO SOLVE THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM IN OUR COMMUNITY
The Construction of the Station is made of Piers ( Concrete Piers ) which is the main structure, then Concrete Frames & Tension Cables ( To Hold the trusses + the double skin ).
