HI-Tron, Building 308D, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz
Kilianweg site in Mainz
Construction of an extended shell of building 308 D
Ed. Züblin AG, Central Directorate, Rhineland-Palatinate Division, based in Mainz, has been commissioned by the Johannes Gutenberg University Medical Center in Mainz to construct an extended shell of Building 308 D, including earthworks, backfilling and drainage work.
The University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz is planning the construction of a new research and laboratory building for the Helmholtz Institute for Translational Oncology and Cancer Immunotherapy on its south-western site. The primary goal of the new Helmholtz Institute for Translational Oncology and Cancer Immunotherapy (HI-TRON) is to establish a world-leading center for personalized cancer medicine at the scientific location of Mainz. The new HI-TRON building forms the keystone of the already completed series of modular buildings (PKZI/KTI/NIC) for the accommodation of research, availability and institutional areas on Kilianweg in the south-west of the Mainz University Medical Center site. Components 1 to 5 have already been erected and completed in the previous construction phases.
The project is aiming for DGNB "Sustainable Building Site" certification from the German Sustainable Building Council.

- In principle, the basic working hours on weekdays are from 07:00 to 16:30.
- Any deviations from this must be agreed with the client. The provisions of the Working Hours Act remain unaffected.
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
-
Finished parts
A shorter construction time can be achieved by using prefabricated staircase components. The volume of waste is also reduced thanks to the prefabricated orders.
-
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.
-
CO2-reduced concrete
A CO2-reduced concrete CSC Level 1 (CO2 reduction >=30%) is used for the concrete components as soon as weather conditions permit without delaying the construction period.
-
Measures to prevent pollution from the construction site
The project is located on the hospital grounds of JGU Mainz University Medical Center, so the impact of the construction site will be avoided or reduced as far as possible. The increased noise protection requirements of the "General Administrative Regulation for Protection against Construction Noise" apply.
-
Use of energy-efficient construction machinery
It is planned that all motorized equipment and machinery used on the construction site, e.g. earthmoving equipment, compressors, etc., with an output of over 75 kW will be documented and the EU level (energy efficiency class/EEK) they meet will be recorded to ensure that the most energy-efficient construction machinery possible is used.
-
Regional companies and suppliers
We mainly use regional companies and suppliers in order to reduce transportation and working distances.
-
Health and social affairs
The risk of accidents is reduced by the creation and application of comprehensive health and safety documents. They also help to maintain staff performance.
-
Quality of the construction work
Before the order is placed, material declaration lists are used to check whether building materials and components comply with the recognized rules of technology and the contractual agreements. A target/actual comparison of the delivered building materials is carried out by means of incoming goods inspection. Before and during the execution of construction work, compliance with technical regulations is documented using quality inspection plans.
-
Waste management
An effective waste management system will be set up for the project. Targeted waste sorting and separation will take place on the construction site. This ensures that the resulting construction waste is properly disposed of and/or recycled.
