Turning old into new: STRABAG subsidiary ZÜBLIN is leading the design and construction of a new administrative building for the Esslingen district government as a pilot project for environmentally friendly construction. As the old administrative building on the banks of the Neckar was in need of renovation and had become too small, the decision was made to demolish and replace it with a modern, two-part office building of four and five storeys.
Top priority for the client is to save resources during construction and ensure the sustainable realisation of the project in all respects. To achieve this, the project follows a specially developed two-step concept for environmentally friendly construction. In step one, the systematic demolition of the old building, the raw materials are separated as much as possible and professionally reprocessed for reuse (urban mining). In step two, ZÜBLIN will use the recycled building materials during the turnkey construction of the new building. The structural framework, for example, will be cast to a large extent from resource-saving concrete (R concrete) . The ZÜBLIN team is also drawing up a catalogue of ecologically sound building components as well as a special demolition concept for the new administration building.
In May 2022, the recycling specialist Heinrich Feeß GmbH & Co. KG began systematically gutting and dismantling the old six-storey Esslingen district office building on behalf of ZÜBLIN. In order to optimise the recycling of the rubble and debris, the demolition works follow a “material flow balance sheet” drawn up in advance that details the quantities of each material as well as their respective recycling and disposal paths. More than 90 % of the materials recovered from the old building can be recycled and reused.
“Our planning not only creates a higher number of workplaces in a modern administrative building, it also allows us to set high environmental standards.”
Once the old building has been completely demolished, the project team of ZÜBLIN Subdivision Stuttgart and ZÜBLIN subsidiary Wolfer & Goebel Bau GmbH will realise the new administrative building between Merkelpark and the banks of the Neckar on a turnkey basis by September 2025. The two-part building complex in the shape of a horizontal figure of eight follows the design of BFK Architekten and will be connected to the existing administration high-rise on two levels. The two polygonal structures with four and five floors as well as two basement floors offer a total net floor area of 33,000 m² to accommodate 675 workplaces for administrative staff from 11 different departments.
