Mercedes Battery Recycling Hall

Location Mercedesstrasse 1 in Kuppenheim
The new building is being constructed as an extension to the north side of the existing press shop 2.

Following the successful completion of TEAMCONCEPT Phase 1, which lasted more than 14 months, the Turnkey Construction division in Karlsruhe was awarded the contract for the construction of a battery recycling hall at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Kuppenheim on 20.09.2022.

The construction project comprises a 2-storey industrial hall with floor plan dimensions of 92.6 m x 68.0 m and a height of approx. 13.0 m. In addition to the building construction, services for the outdoor facilities and technical infrastructure are also required in this context.

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

  • Measures to prevent pollution from the construction site

    The project is located on the Mercedes-Benz company premises with adjoining offices and production areas. To this end, efforts are being made to avoid or reduce the impact of the construction site as far as possible. The concepts for noise and dust avoidance and the protection of soil and groundwater on the construction site are key areas of action. There are also concepts for waste avoidance and an environmentally and resident-oriented logistics concept.

  • Saving resources and reducing emissions through LEAN Construction

    Through the consistent use of process planning, the ongoing construction work is synchronized and adapted to the planning specifications. This enables stable and structured work. This is accompanied by an increase in quality through efficient processes. This prevents waste.
    Another method is the 5S method for order and cleanliness on the construction site.

  • Use of (semi-)finished parts

    (Semi-)prefabricated elements (cavity walls, filigree slabs and stairs) are used in the project. In addition to shortening the construction time, this also reduces the amount of waste generated by the prefabricated construction elements.

  • 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.

  • Sustainability training

    Promoting education and training for all project participants to raise awareness of sustainability.

  • Compliance with environmental protection legislation

    Monitoring and compliance with applicable environmental protection laws and regulations.

  • Regional construction partners

    Regional companies are involved in the provision of services. This ensures a partnership-based cooperation and synergy effects from existing project knowledge can be utilized.
