Project description:

A new logistics building for Lonza AG is being constructed here on a floor area of 3300 m². The floor slab is very elaborate, with recesses and several concrete beams, and the building has a total of five storeys. All ceilings and load-bearing walls are made of in-situ concrete. Various precast concrete elements such as ceiling slabs, concrete beams and stair elements are being installed. The infill masonry is subsequently constructed in sand-lime brickwork and the 20-metre-high partition walls in the high-bay warehouse are constructed using climbing formwork.

Requirements:

  • Very short construction time
  • Complex project with very complex logistics and access control
  • High demands on occupational safety, daily on-site checks
  • Very complex formwork work (ceiling heights of up to 8 meters and wall heights of up to 20 meters)
  • Lots of relocation work (ceiling elements, beams, stairs and columns)
