Extension Buchheim Museum
Location Am Hirschgarten 1 in 82347 Bernried am StarnbergerSee
The Buchheim Museum in Bernried am Starnberger See, which opened around two decades ago, is undergoing a structural expansion.
The extension comprises several measures: A new showroom including workshops will be added in the north-east (component A), a new carport/equipment room in the north-west (component B) and an extension to the café and kitchen in the south (component C). In addition, there will be minor demolition and conversion work in the basement, adjacent to component A, in the existing building.
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 organization, the conservation of resources as well as the minimization 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 recognized by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).

Selected measures in the project
-
Use of prefabricated parts
The extensive use of semi-precast concrete elements (filigree slabs, cavity walls) reduces the amount of waste generated by the prefabricated orders. The use of prefabricated parts also achieves higher surface qualities. Furthermore, the use of prefabricated parts and "just-in-time" delivery can reduce storage space.
-
Efficient concreting
The basement floor slab and ceilings are concreted using a concrete pump, which is continuously filled with concrete by truck mixers and, thanks to its high performance, ensures rapid completion of the component. Due to the short duration and high performance, noise levels can be significantly reduced.
-
Measures to prevent dust
The reinforcement bars installed on the construction site are prefabricated in the factory, i.e. adapted to the exact installation location on the construction site in terms of length and shape. This eliminates noise and dust emissions caused by adjusting the reinforcement on site. In addition, only drills with integrated extraction systems are used on site for drilling work. Demolition and core drilling work is only carried out using wet methods in order to bind the dust produced as it is generated.
-
Measures to prevent damage to works of art
The vibration monitors used during the construction work continuously record and evaluate any vibrations that occur. The measured vibrations are compared with defined limit values. Appropriate measures can be taken to reduce the impact in the event of overruns. To protect the works of art in the museum, the monitoring helps to prevent potential damage.
-
Measures to protect the groundwater - construction dewatering
Any construction water produced during the construction work will be collected and discharged in a controlled manner. To protect the groundwater and the adjacent surface waters, precipitation water is treated in suitable sedimentation tanks via existing and temporary drainage pipes before being discharged into the public sewer system. The aim of this measure is to prevent the entry of suspended matter, fine particles and other contaminants into the groundwater and surface water and to comply with water protection requirements.
