New construction of a fire station in Harsdorf It’s no secret that fire engines weigh quite a bit. A total mass of 16 tons per vehicle is quite common. It is therefore understandable that the areas in front of the fire station gates are exposed to particular loads. When these are newly constructed, planners often resort to heavy-duty concrete paving systems. These absorb traffic loads and distribute them to lower layers. One system that has been a triumphant success for paving heavy-duty

Einstein paving for new daycare center in Dahn The aim of public open space planning is to create aesthetically, ecologically and socially consistent open space structures. Two restrictions usually apply here: Firstly, the visual appearance should meet with widespread approval, and secondly, it is desirable for everything to function permanently, even with intensive use. When planning began in 2020 for a new daycare center in Dahn in the southwestern Palatinate, these goals had to be taken into account, particularly by designing the outdoor areas appropriately. The paving joints played a

Urban development on Holstenfleet in Kiel Construction work on an outstanding urban development project in Kiel was completed in November 2020. The state capital of Schleswig-Holstein built a new center in the heart of the city center for around 18.5 million euros. Under the name “Holstenfleet“, a 170-metre-long and 10-metre-wide canal has been created here since 2017, bringing the water back into Kiel’s old town with high-quality landscaped edges. The surface in this area was paved with a special paving material that meets all the visual and functional requirements of this special project. After

Former children’s home in Cologne-Sülz Over the last 10 years, a sophisticated and innovative urban quarter has been created on the site of a former children’s home in Cologne-Sülz, preserving the listed buildings from the post-war period. The center of this quarter is a church built by Gottfried Böhm, which has become its landmark today. In the middle of the quarter is a square surrounded by apartment blocks and the church. It is characterized by a simple but generous texture of sand-grey coated asphalt surfaces

Design of the surroundings of the sports hall in St. Katharinen/Neuwied In villages with a rural structure, sports halls are often a central meeting point. Because the halls are often not only used for sporting activities, but also for festivals, music events and community gatherings, the ambience of the hall and its surroundings are of particular importance. The entire facility should fit harmoniously into the village environment, because visitors want to feel at home here. The focus is particularly on the design of the outdoor facilities, as these are particularly good at creating

Hamburg Stellingen district school relies on Einstein joint technology The aim of public open space planning is to create aesthetically, ecologically and socially consistent open space structures. Two restrictions usually apply here: Firstly, the visual appearance should meet with widespread approval; secondly, it is desirable that everything functions permanently, even with intensive use. When the Stellingen district school in Hamburg was facing major construction work at the beginning of 2019, these objectives had to be taken into account, in particular by redesigning the outdoor areas appropriately.
