The future emergency response center consists of two components. Component 1 comprises the main building with 3 upper floors and an adjacent training tower.
The first floor of the main building contains a vehicle hall for 23 vehicles as well as workshops, changing rooms and storage areas.
The second floor comprises the operations center, the staff room and the administration area. The 3rd floor is mainly used as a training and exercise area. This includes training rooms, a fitness room and an area for hot training. Component 2 offers parking spaces for a total of 10 roll-off containers for various purposes.
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
-
Digital concrete call-off
In order to be able to coordinate the concreting in the best possible way, the call-offs are made using a digital application. The delivery rates can be coordinated with the concrete pump, particularly for large-scale concreting, thus reducing the waiting times of the concrete mixers. Production times are optimized and noise emissions are reduced.
-
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.
-
Information for the neighborhood and the public
Due to the nearby Hans Thoma School, particularly intensive coordination and information is being carried out with the school management. The town of Oberursel is also keeping the public particularly well informed about the work on the construction project.
