Managua is having a warm, cool, thin and structural face, Managua is waking up, grows to large-scale, modern buildings are giving enhancement, the caress with delicacy and give the respect deserved after having been destroyed by various historical earthquakes.

"There is no way how to stop construction. Therefore all our buildings in Discover Group are being built to a high standard of design and materials tested and qualified labor. Managua will have to build more and better, and all new buildings are following these quality standards are. We must build better to have a safer, stronger and stable country that invites to know ".
In 1931, Managua was surprised and almost totally destroyed. There were around 1,500 people dead and more than 2,000 injured due to the fact that the majority of the buildings were of taquezal, which, at the discretion of the engineer Amador Kuhl, is the most inadequate to resist a seismic event. "After that year did not seem to have been learned a great deal with regard to the type of construction that must be performed to defend themselves in any way for any damages you may cause an earthquake in the property or in the life of the people, because it was not until the middle of the century that it began to build using the block of cement, mud brick, reinforced concrete and structural steel".
With the implementation of concrete, Managua was protected a bit more in 1972, but the earthquake ended with all those buildings badly made and of taquezal and respect, says engineer Amador Kuhl, to almost all where there was a degree of control over the use of the materials and construction. "It is for this reason that the earthquake happened in the last year does not impact, only in those cities where it is still uses the taquezal, as Nagarote and La Paz Centro. The damage observed in 1931 and 1972 cannot be attributed to the intensity of the movement of the earth or to the severity of the surface failure, but to deficiencies in the practice of the construction, which always can be avoided with only implement preventive measures to resist earthquakes in the design and construction of works", advises the engineer Amador Kuhl.
Sustainable projects
Within panoramic views of Managua pleasing highlight their buildings. Adds a new, different, alternative, more modern and comfortable. Located in one of the safest and fastest growing areas of the country born Escala, the building will house 800 thousand daily workers. It consists of eight levels of offices, plus two levels intended for indoor parking for up to 300 vehicles, 8,500 square meters of office space and about 11 thousand square meters in parking spaces.
ESCALA is the work of the vision of development that characterizes the Group Discover. Engineer Marco Amador Torres, Executive Director of the group, explains they have built the building under strict quality parameters.
"Escale denotes growth, height and was in line with a vertical building that seemed interesting, and how much needs our city as our feasibility studies. One of the guidelines for us was to include as many indoor parking with an excellent security system because it adds more value to the offices. Has four elevators, steel structural system, heat insulating coating and double glazing with air chamber also heat insulation, and there will be access to one hundred percent of the country's telecommunications services, including cable TV and wireless and infrastructure future services.
As a responsible, enterprising and young group, says the engineer Amador Torres, quality characterizes them. For this reason, Escala, like all projects developed, serves the needs that the market demands.
Marcos Amador
"We're not skimping on anything because we really want to quality, safety and comfort. Our buildings meet and exceed all standards required by the law of Nicaragua in construction and seismic issues. We work with very rigid and responsible designs to prepare to earthquakes of great intensity and we have the best to avoid affecting "guarantees Engineer Torres Amador.
The first level of Escala will offer commercial spaces that add value to the resident. Also have a supermarket of convenience, a beauty salon, two cafes and in the last level there will be a restaurant. With most modern technology to ensure real savings, as well as a power plant that will support the needs of the building.
"Definitely, being pioneers always brings value to society because you bring ideas and new challenges and generate jobs that goes online to have a better society. I believe that to be pioneers in the construction of office buildings of this kind have established a starting point, because those who come to build office buildings like these have to do it like us, or better, "says the engineer Amador Torres.
Generators of employment
In Escala are installing four new businesses that did not exist in Nicaragua as a result of the conditions of these office buildings.
At the discretion of the engineer Amador Towers, generator of employment is anyone who creates new resources and new proposals for the growth and human richness.
"A new office building generates infrastructure, conditions for which other companies are able to come and allow the country's economy continues to grow. Indirectly we became generators of jobs because in the absence of these conditions the people not be coming. It is a summation of everything that people do well in the country that allows a good condition for people to do business. That is why we have to continue to grow and we are going well, very good way. We have to continue adding to our society".
