Elbterrassen IV

Location Steinstraße 95 in Geestacht
The planned quarter comprises a total of 10 buildings (A-I) with 235 residential units as well as two separate underground parking garages in solid construction plus basement areas. The buildings consist of 4 or 5 full storeys.

The storey and roof ceilings are designed as reinforced concrete structures that rest on load-bearing interior and exterior walls. The basement and underground car park will also be built in reinforced concrete.

The project is aiming for DGNB "Sustainable Building Site" certification from the German Sustainable Building Council.

Certified by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB)

Ed. Züblin AG is pursuing several goals with this project: A sustainable construction site organisation, the conservation of resources as well as the minimisation of emissions, responsibility for the health and well-being of the builders, the cultivation of good neighbourliness and, of course, high-quality construction. For this, Ed. Züblin AG was the first company to be recognised by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).

Selected measures in the project

  • Finished parts

    The extensive use of prefabricated parts (filigree slabs, cavity walls, balconies and stairs) means that a shorter construction time can be achieved. The volume of waste is also reduced thanks to the prefabricated orders.
    The prefabricated parts are called off digitally to enable just-in-time delivery.

  • Saving resources and reducing emissions through LEAN Construction

    As part of the lean approach, a production plan with call-off dates (e.g. insulation) was created. Construction production planning is detailed on a weekly basis and adapted to actual production progress. Changes in the construction process are constantly taken into account and just-in-time deliveries can be better implemented. Repeat orders and new orders due to late changes to the plan are avoided.

  • Measures to prevent pollution from the construction site

    The project is located in the immediate vicinity of residential buildings, so the impact of the construction site will be avoided or reduced as far as possible.

  • Energy management in construction

    Construction site investigations and comparative considerations for the most energy-efficient project execution possible. For example, selection of a large concrete bucket to reduce the number of lifts.
