Concrete from the foundation to the roof for a residential complex in Munich.

Construction Site Report

The finished shell at the construction site "WA 3.2" for 100 condominiums is being created by the construction firm S.Pöttinger GmbH & Co.KG as a monolithic concrete structure.
In order to meet the high quality requirements and the tight schedule, concrete structures were formed with formwork systems from PASCHAL.

For purposes of quality assurance, the entire construction process is being supervised by the investor, Terrafinanz, though an in-house project manager.

As a regular customer of PASCHAL for the past thirty years, with over 3,000 m² of its own PASCHAL formwork systems, the site manager Alexander Marrero and the foreman Thomas Greier are very much familiar with the formwork from PASCHAL, so only very little coordination with the PASCHAL branch in Hohenbrunn is necessary.

To create the concrete structures, foundations, columns, walls and elevator shafts, the systems Modular/GE, LOGO.3 and the column formwork Grip are essentially in use.
For forming the rounded walls of the enclosure of the underground parking garage entrance and exit, Pöttinger rented the Trapezoidal girder formwork TTR.
For concreting the 8 elevator shafts, Pöttinger is using 3 "sets" of the LOGO.3 dismantling inside corner post.

At the large construction site on Hochäckerstrasse in Munich, the cranes and formwork systems from PASCHAL are turning the concrete forms.

B2 Construction site

Since the large construction site on Hochäckerstrasse is classified as a "B2 Construction Site", there are specific requirements for the concrete work in terms of supervision (external inspection) and installing the concrete.
As the results of the concrete components formed in July 2015 impressively document, the component dimensions and the concrete surfaces have already been evaluated positively by the project manager on behalf of the client.

Concreted smoke extraction shafts

For purposes of fire protection, smooth smoke extraction shafts were necessary from the underground garage to above the roof, along the facade.
For the sake of separation, the concrete shafts are led along the exterior facade between two balcony systems.
In order to dissipate the smoke quickly through the roof in the case of a fire, the insides of the concrete shafts have to be smoother than SB 3 exposed concrete.
Pöttinger handled even these detailed requirements with selected standard formwork elements from the PASCHAL system LOGO.3. Formwork vibrators are used on the outside for compacting the concrete, since the walls are only 12 to 16 cm thick.

Despite tremendous pressure in terms of deadlines and quality standards, Pöttinger is implementing the refined shell in almost 6 months with around 7,000 m³ of enclosed space and 8,500 m³ of C 30/37 ready-mixed concrete in accordance with the agreements.
Next comes the construction phase WA 3.1 with 60 residential units, along with underground parking spaces. 

Construction phase WA 3.2 will result in a residential complex with 100 condominiums made of reinforced concrete from the foundation to the roof and formed with formwork systems from PASCHAL.
