LCCevo-SAT420

Location Frankfurt Airport Gate 25 / next to parking garage P53 in Frankfurt am Main
The construction project comprises the new construction of the Lufthansa Cargo SAT420 - Phase Alpha cargo center at Frankfurt Airport.

The LCCevolution program aims to ensure the performance and future viability of the Lufthansa Cargo Center (LCC) at Frankfurt Airport (FRA) on its current footprint. It is planned to implement the overall project with demolition, new construction and refurbishment in three construction phases, Alpha, Bravo and Charlie.

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

  • Finished parts

    The extensive use of prefabricated elements (filigree slabs, cavity walls, parapets, columns, beams and stairs) means that a shorter construction time can be achieved. Quiver foundations are used. 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.

  • Measures to prevent pollution from the construction site

    The project is in an inner-city location, so the impact of the construction site will be avoided or reduced as far as possible. Despite the high noise pollution from the surrounding runway, measures are being taken to avoid additional exposure to dust and noise emissions for employees.

  • High safety precautions for employees

    Due to the location of the construction site at Frankfurt Airport, the construction site is subject to increased security requirements. Access controls make it possible to control accessibility as well as precise cycle planning to avoid vehicles in waiting positions and thus avoid emissions.
