The exhibition halls at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre are arranged in groups. If visitors wish to move from one hall group to the next, their route leads through outside areas. Although the connecting routes are covered and visitors are protected against rain, in particular the exhibitors on the stands next to the entrances and exits have hitherto been exposed to draughts.
Glass halls enjoy great popularity in architecture. They are an elegant means of connecting multiple structures, and they serve as entrance and reception areas while providing space for bold stairways and lifts. For both users and visitors, they create impressive spaces and a pleasant atmosphere.
Scaffolding must be planned very carefully before it is erected. Especially careful preparations are necessary for birdcage scaffolding within buildings. After the demolition of the headquarters of a savings bank in Münster, the branch office of Assmann Beraten und Planen designed the scaffolding at the new shopping centre in such a way that it could keep pace with construction progress. Condor Gerüst, which has many years of experience in this area, provided advice and support.
Many reinforced-concrete bridges must be refurbished some 30 to 40 years after completion. As a rule, the load-bearing sections must be resealed and the bridge edges, which are exposed to the elements, must be renewed. In the case of bridges over railways, the contact barrier beyond the railing must also be included in this work.
Tennis fans will all know Gerry Weber. The Gerry Weber Open is held every year in the stadium of the same name in Halle, Westphalia. As in many other tennis arenas, in Halle too the tennis court is well below the spectators' seats. The sports fans can therefore enjoy an excellent view even when outside the base line, yet are protected from powerful serves and returns.
Concrete parts in sewage treatment plants are subject to extreme conditions. For example, the containment walls of fermentation towers have to be absolutely gas-tight. After decades of operation, however, hairline cracks often appear in the concrete and make repairs essential. To ascertain the precise extent of damage to the concrete, the cladding has to be removed.
During the one-year refurbishment work being done on the Town Hall in Ingolstadt, it is necessary to ensure that party business and all other official matters can be conducted without hindrance. During the work, performed section by section, neither the access to all storeys nor the second escape route required under building regulations can be assured by the existing routes.
300 years after being consecrated, the façade and spires of the St. Peter and Paul Monastery Church in Irsee are undergoing repairs. To protect the building against the destructive power of the water, the sheet metal coverings on the almost 50 metre high spires had to be replaced. It makes sense to repair the plastering and paintwork only after this.
Three Layher stairway towers are currently in use at the site of the Kaufhof department store at Alexanderplatz, Berlin. These are essential for ensuring the safety of both staff and customers. Since the store is remaining open during conversion work, but its existing escape staircases cannot be used, this temporary solution is necessary to secure escape routes.
Facade refurbishment in cities usually requires very considerable planning and logistic work. Apart from the actual building work, it takes heavy expenditure to avoid or at least reduce the detrimental effects on the surrounding area from the construction work. The effects on traffic along roads and streets have to be minimised, local residents have to be protected from all sorts of inconvenience and pollution of the environment too has to be kept as low as possible.
