New project in the City of Cologne for Grotemeier Engineers
Grotemeier Engineers receive the order for the conversion and new construction of 2 residential complexes in the city of Cologne. The existing front building is increased by 2 storeys. The foundation of the existing building will be strengthened for the additional loads. The special static highlight of this project is the widening of the existing courtyard passage for about 1 m. This means that the entire four-story building must be intercepted. Due to the cramped conditions, the new building in the back yard has a two-storey underground parking garage, so that the neighboring buildings must also be secured using various special foundation engineering techniques (multi-anchored Berlin shoring / bored pile wall / HDI injections). The foundation of the new building as well as the reinforcement of the existing foundation has to be done with pile foundation.
