Debeka Headquarters Koblenz

Creating space in great heights with meticulous planning and efficient formwork solutions

Scope

Expanding the headquarters with a 17-storey office that is connected to the existing building via a closed bridge

Challenge

The large and high rooms required a detailed formwork concept which we provided through meticulous planning. A special challenge is posed by a 15 m high and 29 m wide rectangular ''eye'' in the new building, which creates a 'magnificent visual axis'.

Performance

To create the 'eye' three 30 m long and approx. 3.40 m high steel composite girders had to be lifted into place by a special drone. Another demanding formwork task was the 7.60 m high bridge deck with it's thickness of 70 cm for which Hünnebeck developed special shoring concepts. Especially our ST 60 support system which consists of only six basic parts played an important role here by enabling simple, ergonomic handling.
For efficient forming of the slab areas the site team relies on TOPEC beamless aluminium modular system and the TOPMAX steel-frame slab table.
