Project

Spindle solution for window boxouts saves effort and time

Intelligent Boxouts

It is near the city of Augsburg where Bavaria‘s most modern prison is being built on an area as large as ten football fields. The complex will have over 600 cells. Their windows with special embrasures were the challenge for formwork engineers.

Creating job-built timber solutions for the window boxouts would have cost much time and been a waste since such a construction was not re-usable. MEVA‘s special construction department developed a steel construction with six vertical and horizonal spindles that proved to be the perfect solution.
The spindles allowed the steel construction to be precisely set to the required boxout size and form. When the concrete had set, the spindles were used to move the construction‘s four side frames away from the concrete to the inside. This way neither the concrete embrasure nor the steel construction were damaged. When in use, the boxout construction was attached to MEVA‘s StarTec formwork that on this site was used for over 2 years to pour the many walls of the complex.

Anspruchsvolle Geometrie im Tunnel

MEVA STB 450 bietet flexible Lösung bei schmalem und schrägem Streckenverlauf: Nahe der Gemeinde Gretzenbach teilt sich die ansonsten vierspurige Bahntrasse auf. Die südlichen zwei Gleise senken sich dort langsam ab und führen unter der Kantonsstrasse hindurch in den neuen Eppenbergtunnel.
BIM: transparent und effizient

„BIM“ steht für „Building Information Modeling“, eine ganzheitliche, softwarebasierte Methode zur optimierten Planung und Ausführung von Bauwerken.
Balanceakt zwischen Kreativität und technisch Machbarem

Komplexe Geometrien und hohe Anforderungen stellen die Abteilung Sonderkonstruktion bei MEVA immer wieder vor spannende Aufgaben – wie bei einer Kirchensanierung im oberbayerischen Dorf Hebertshausen.
