Our new building in impressive figures

Having already reported extensively on the new ipf building and the energy concept in two articles, we would now like to present you with some figures on the former construction site - and they are quite impressive.

The new company building is based on around 2460 tons of in-situ concrete with via 16 tons of reinforcing steel in the foundations and the floor slab. On top of this are 835 precast concrete elements such as columns, ceiling slabs, beams and parapet slabs made from via 3000 tons of concrete, which are amplified with more than 167 tons of reinforcing steel.

Even if the quantity seems a lot in itself, it is surprisingly little material compared to the size of the building. For example, the version of the ceiling slabs as "hollow-chamber prestressed concrete" precast elements saved up to 50 percent in material and thus also in weight. The almost 3000 square meters of the building's exterior walls are distributed over 1550 square meters of façade and 1450 square meters of window area. In addition, there are via 6400 square meters of built-up area around the building.

On the other hand, there are 6225 square meters of drywall in the interior, more than 6000 square meters of floor space and via 4100 square meters of suspended ceiling space. Taken together, this corresponds to the area of two soccer pitches with roofing and stands - in other words, plenty of space for our team to perform convincingly. In addition, via 14500 square meters of surface area were painted, in some cases several times, so that our company colors are clearly visible.

More than 62 kilometers of cable tail were required to distribute the electricity to supply the electrical consumers in the building. A duplex cable network with a length of 40 kilometers was laid for data transmission.

Last, but not least, fire alarm and burglar alarm lines with an overall length of 27.5 kilometers ensure safety. This could be used to connect all the old sites with each other and supply your energy and security technology with voltage and communication.
