Construction of the new daycare center, Germany
The project construction of the new daycare center and the multi-generation house by THOR Zwei GmbH & Co. KG is a 3-story, barrier –free building, which will house a day-care center for children, the Family Centre and the Multigenerational House of the City of Ennepetal (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany).
Die infills and soft loamy soils are not suitable for the foundation of the structure. Since the load bearing subsoil (gravels and weathered rubblestone) is only present at lower levels (approx. 5m below ground level), a deep foundation for the building was required.
Thanks to the efficient and flexible installation, TRM ductile iron piles were chosen for the foundation.
A high production rate without material losses could be achieved, despite difficult piling conditions (due to existing boulders of different sizes) and the variable depth of the rock level.
The use of TRM ductile driven piles allowed the whole construction project to be more economical, sustainable and to reduce CO2 emissions.
Tiroler Rohre GmbH is the first manufacturer of ductile iron and pile pipes to be certified with an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration). This is our commitment to an increasingly relevant sustainability concept in the special civil engineering industry.
Fast. Simple. Safe.
