The current construction project includes special civil engineering work for the subsequent securing of the excavation pit
In addition to special civil engineering work to secure the excavation pit at a later date, the current construction project mainly comprises the construction of a transfer station for a floor transport system, a fire water tank to ensure the sprinkler functionality during the main project, the extension of the so-called A-row, a connecting structure between two existing buildings and two staircase extensions to ensure the escape route requirements.
Ed. Züblin AG with its Düsseldorf and Cologne-Bonn divisions was commissioned to carry out preparatory work at the University Hospital of the RWTH Aachen. The work forms the preliminary work for a planned major project consisting of the construction of a new underground central operating theater with intensive care unit and new entrance area directly next to the existing university hospital.
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
-
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. 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 immediate vicinity of the operating theaters of the university hospital, so that the impact of the construction site is 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.
