PANDION FÜNF FREUNDE

THE PROJECT AND ITS REQUIREMENT

The new city quarter „Ehrenveedel“ is being built on the former approximately 70,000 m²  large railway area of the goods depot in Cologne-Ehrenfeld. The property of Pandion AG „PANDiON FÜNF FREUNDE“ with a distinctive anthracite-coloured clinker facade has a living space of 6,000 m²  and comprises 129 high-quality condominiums with KfW-55 standard. Completion of the complex is planned for 2021.

In the course of the new construction, the building complex should to be decoupled. The purpose of this measure is to protect the adjacent building areas against vibrations and structure borne noise. This required an elastometic bearing under the foundation, proportional wall insulation and a console support.

THE SOLUTION

Calenberg Cisador 80 and 1700, Cibatur as well as Civerso type A as elastomeric bearings were integrated in the vibration isolated installation of the building complex. The base bearing (partial bearing) was made with Cibatur to transfer loads. Cibatur was laid on a clean layer under the foundation of the building. By using Civerso Type A, the earth pressure loaded exterior walls could be decoupled. The basement was separated from adjacent apartments by means of console bearings using Cisador 1700 and Cisador 80.
