Sophiencarrée Karlsruhe

Location Weinbrennerstraße 12 in Karlsruhe
The construction project consists of three residential buildings .

Two urban villas, each with nine residential units, will be built at the rear of the construction site. A continuous underground car park with a total of 19 parking spaces will be built below the two buildings.

The existing building, which is located at the front of the construction site, will be partly demolished and rebuilt and partly gutted and renovated. When completed, 19 new residential units will be built here.

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 in a central, inner-city location, so efforts are being made to avoid or reduce the impact of the construction site as much 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 process 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.

  • Communication with the local public

    Comprehensive reports on the progress of work on the construction site are posted.

  • 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.

  • Energy management in construction

    Preliminary investigations of the individual construction processes with regard to the most energy-saving development possible. In particular, the focus here is on optimizing process durations.

  • Construction site logistics

    The just-in-time (JiT) concept ensures targeted and timely coordination of material deliveries to the construction site. The construction products are only transported to the right place at the right time and in the right quantity when they are actually needed. This allows both the number of transports to be reduced and the storage of materials on the construction site to be minimized or completely avoided.

  • 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.
