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

  • Concreting

    Concreting, for example ceilings, is carried out using a concrete pump, which is continuously filled with concrete by truck mixers and ensures rapid completion of the component thanks to its high performance. Ready-mix concrete is used for concreting. This eliminates dust emissions caused by mixing concrete on site.

  • Reinforcement work

    The reinforcement bars installed on the construction site are prefabricated in the factory, i.e. adapted to the exact installation location on the construction site in terms of length and shape, and transported to their respective installation location by building construction cranes. This eliminates noise emissions caused by shaping and adjusting the reinforcement.

  • 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.

  • Measures to prevent pollution from the construction site

    The project is located in the city center, so the impact of the construction site will be avoided or reduced as far as possible.

  • Energy management in construction

    Construction site investigations and comparative considerations for the most energy-efficient project execution possible. For example, selection of a large concrete bucket to reduce the number of lifts.
