As part of the conversion/revitalization of the Columbus Cruise Terminal, the specialist planning services for the structural design will be put out to tender. Work phases 1-2 are commissioned and the client reserves the right to successively commission further service phases up to LP 6 and, if necessary, to accompany the construction supervision.

The building is an ensemble of buildings from the 1950s/60s consisting of a 3-4 storey central building, a 3-storey north wing (a south wing was never realised after construction). To the east of the central building is a 6-storey office building with the heating centre in the basement and the former entrance hall to the cruise terminal.

As part of a competition for the awarding of the planning services, the client decided to revitalise the existing building ensemble and add to it accordingly. To this end, the existing building fabric is to be used sensibly in terms of sustainability, and additional areas are to be supplemented in a sustainable and demand-oriented manner. The preliminary design concept envisages that the future development of the Columbus Cruise Terminal will again take place centrally from the east, i.e. the so-called central building. Following the idea, it is planned to create the required parking spaces in a parking pallet in the east. A skywalk provides access to the Columbus Terminal at several points in the same way. The existing high-rise building is to be renovated and modernised in terms of energy efficiency and, in a possible further step, to be extended in accordance with the original idea. The current concept of the project planner provides for a modular construction. The final decision on the modules to be implemented can only be made as part of the planning process. Therefore, a module-by-module bid submission is required

tasks

- Obtain inventory documents and view and analyze them for content and completeness.

- On-site inspection

- Depending on the findings, specification of targeted and supplementary component investigations or component investigations

- Documentation or report of findings and formulation of qualitative or quantitative recommendations for action

Fields of activity with regard to structural engineering:

- Renovation or reinforcement of long-span steel structures

- Renovation of natural stone façades, etc.

- Renovation of reinforced concrete (exposed reinforcement)

- Renovation of foundations (underpinnings, upgrading of existing buildings, adaptation as a result of MEP concepts or as a result of load concentrations)

- Renovation of structural fire protection (reinforcement of drawstrings or cladding of existing structures)

- Formulation of the auxiliary and intermediate construction states

- Maintenance of existing load-bearing systems

- Development of low-deformation replacement systems

- If required, development of new static systems based on the existing load transfer

- Avoidance of load concentrations to reduce upgrading measures in existing buildings

- Involvement of the subsoil expert in order to maximise an acceptable load transfer into the subsoil

The existing electrotechnical installation systems in the MB are holistic.

The electrical installation of the office building is designed for use and corresponds to the required state of use.
