Construction of a New Test Hall with Office Building and Traversing Hall

For our client NKT, we delivered a turnkey construction project comprising a state‑of‑the‑art test hall, a traversing hall, and an office building. The project included a 2,000 m² industrial floor designed for air‑cushion vehicles as well as a 3,500 m² semi‑rigid pavement serving as a storage area for cable reels weighing up to 150 tonnes.

Technical highlights included the construction of an underground ice storage system for building heating and process cooling, and a concrete rainwater retention basin. In addition, we executed extensive pipeline works up to DN710 and installed the complete technical building equipment.

With this project, we created a facility that meets the highest standards of functionality and precision.

Figures and facts:

  • 39.300m³ BRI test and traversing hall
  • 2000m² industrial floor for hovercrafts
  • 750m² GFA administration building
  • 3500m² semi-rigid surface layer as storage area for up to 150t. heavy cable spools
  • Construction of an underground ice storage for building heating and process cooling with 8m diameter and 6m height
  • Construction of an underground rainwater retention basin in concrete structure
  • Laying of 450m PE-HD pipeline up to DN710
