The core structure of each of the towers is composed of a ring of sixteen cylindrical columns of high strength reinforced concrete. The columns vary in size from 2.4 meters in diameter at the lower areas to 1.2 meters in diameter at the top, and are placed at the outside corners

The buildings lay over a concrete slab, which is situated over an underground “forest” of columns made of concrete and steel. The structure is based in a concrete core and columns. The metal structure was rejected because of the low disposition of Malaysian builders to work with a steel structure, as well due to the need of reducing vibrations in the higher parts of the towers
