New Build Geberit – Tractus 2 – Pfullendorf

Theuerbachstrasse 1 site in Pfullendorf
In order to expand Geberit's production capacities, a new production hall is being built at the Pfullendorf site .

Measuring 47.0 x 90.0 m, it consists of reinforced concrete columns in the central axis and a steel supporting structure in the façade and roof area. A seamless floor slab of approx. 3,800 m² in the production area is one of the special features, as are the supply connection to the energy center and the high-density, modular prefabricated media and supply lines with power rails, data lines, sprinklers, cooling water, compressed air and granulate lines.

An underground watertight connection to the high-bay warehouse enables direct automatic storage of the manufactured products.
The north façade of the existing hall will be dismantled after completion of the overall project and the façade elements will be largely reused in the new building in the spirit of a circular economy.

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 parts (filigree slabs, cavity walls, parapets, columns, beams and stairs) enables a shorter construction time to be achieved. These prefabricated orders also reduce the amount of waste. The continued use of flat elements (prefabricated masonry) reduces the use of noisy stone saws to an absolute minimum. Waste cuttings/disposal is also reduced.

  • Energy-saving lighting

    The lighting in the office and crew containers is controlled by motion detectors. Energy-saving LED lights are used on the construction site. Their use for construction site lighting and in the containers conserves resources.

  • Logistics and waste disposal

    In order to reduce the transportation of materials to the construction site, the aim is for delivery vehicles to have full loads. Construction residues and waste are separated on the construction site and for disposal. Due to the very high degree of prefabrication of the components and the generous construction site set-up area, it is possible to almost fully utilize the transports and reduce the number of transports to and from the construction site to a minimum.

  • Reducing emissions through construction logistics

    The construction logistics coordination of all upcoming construction site transports to and from the construction site is carried out. This avoids waiting and idle times for transportation and reduces emissions.

  • Optimized deep foundation

    Thanks to an optimized deep foundation, it is possible to limit the necessary dewatering thanks to the dense construction pit. In summary, this leads to lower power consumption for dewatering and a reduction in the impact on the city's groundwater balance.
