Gaining space and saving heat thanks to modern reinforcement technology

摘要

The "Neue Glacis Bastion" building complex in the center of Neu-Ulm is part of the urban redevelopment of the area west of Caponniere TV between the train station and Glacis Park. The developer of the residential and commercial object designed with a view to sustainability under ecological and energetic aspects is Eberhardt Immobilienbau GmbH based in Ulm; Höfle & Wohlrab Bau GmbH (HWB) is in charge of the construction work. The up to eight storeys house high-quality flats, offices, doctor's practices, restaurants, and an underground garage with 140 parking spaces. Punching shear reinforcements and brickwork support brackets by Berlin-based Jordahl GmbH make it possible to realize the modern flat-slab constructions and especially load-carrying foundations, as well as the energy-efficient installation of exposed-concrete elements for the design of the facade.
