Mainova Webhouse Building B
Location Mergenthalerstr. 12 in Frankfurt
The Mainova Webhouse Building B project describes the new construction of a data center including office space.
This extends over four full storeys and has a partial basement. Outside, there are underground tanks, a rainwater retention basin and a fire water tank.
The main building is mainly used as a data center from the first floor upwards. Further technical superstructures are located on the roof area. A further two-storey outbuilding will be erected for power distribution. The highly compact structure makes optimum use of the available space. The building will be constructed in solid construction. Semi-finished parts will be used for the most part.
In addition, the façade along Mergenthalerstraße will be equipped with a ground-based façade greening system, and the flat roof will also have an extensive green roof. In order to conceal technical equipment such as generators and UREA systems, a perforated sheet mesh façade will be attached to a post and beam construction.
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 elements (filigree slabs, cavity walls, beams and stairs) means that a shorter construction time can be achieved. The amount of waste is also reduced due to the elimination of formwork.
-
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. finished parts) 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 an industrial area. Nevertheless, the impact of the construction site will be avoided or reduced as far as possible. Special measures will be implemented to reduce dust and noise.
-
Energy management in construction
A large concrete bucket is used to reduce the number of lifts. Furthermore, the container castle will be equipped with LED lamps and lighting, such as the Züblin logos on the cranes, will be switched off overnight.
