New logistics center VW Loc Emden Hall 9

Volkswagen AG is investing significantly more than 100 million euros in the expansion of its Emden site. This also includes the construction of a new, ultra-modern logistics hall to optimize material flows. Depenbrock was awarded the contract to carry out all civil engineering work as well as the extended shell construction with a floor area of 46,000 m² and a height of 12 m, including extensions for incoming goods, outgoing goods and empties handling. The foundations for the hall construction and the floor slab were designed as deep foundations. For this purpose, highly reinforced individual foundations and in-situ concrete beams, connected to a 47 cm thick floor slab, were placed on the more than 2,500 bored piles. Further key data on the large quantities of material required for the ground-floor hall (approx. 245 x 168 m) in skeleton construction: 288 reinforced concrete columns, 3,800 t of structural steel, 15,000 dowel bars, 28,360 m³ of concrete and 1,250 t of steel construction. In order to have the required quantities available at all times, the concrete was produced in a mobile mixing plant directly on the construction site.
