When construction traffic and public space share the area

Published on September 16, 2020 by Kim SchÀfer

The Stuttgart Market Square It is one of the city's most important public spaces. During the redesign, which included a new fountain, sensitive natural stone surfaces had to be protected from heavy use. Construction traffic be protected without this public accessibility, significantly restrict ongoing business operations and the shared use of the area for enable.

A complex task involving a wide variety of factors. Stakeholder groups first a joint solution had to find. This reference shows why temporary protective areas with Road plates has proven to be a practical approach in demanding construction projects in public spaces.

Why construction sites in urban areas become complex

Inner-city construction projects In pedestrian zones, construction planners, construction logistics experts, and city offices regularly face special challenges. challengesThe situation becomes particularly critical where diverse interests and Uses on the same area These activities need to be coordinated. In addition to construction traffic and site setup, public pathways, emergency exits, delivery traffic, barrier-free access, and ongoing business operations play a crucial role. At the same time, underground utilities, street cleaning, and other public space functions must continue to operate.

This is particularly true in shared inner-city areas. Conflicting objectives, where individual requirements must be considered as jointly as possible. Therefore, technically suitable protective solutions for sensitive floor coverings, natural stone surfaces, paved areas or asphalt surfaces are first examined by municipal authorities in advance.

At the On-site meeting Possible solutions will be developed jointly with the construction management, construction logistics experts, public order office and all other relevant parties. Stakeholder groups presented, evaluated, and voted on. In the end decide all those involved, which Protection solution The different requirements were reconciled in the best possible way.

Requirements for protective solutions in public spaces

Which protective solution is suitable for existing surfaces depends on several factors beyond just the resilience of a system. Besides other factors... technical requirements Factors such as installation height, ramp solutions, slip resistance, water drainage or noise emissions also play a role. optical integration into the existing environment.

In addition, you must also functional requirements Consideration must be given to factors such as how the protective areas can be cleaned by sweepers during operation, cleared in winter, or opened selectively as needed to allow continued access to underground utilities. In addition, organizational issues regarding control intervals, responsibilities and the ongoing upgrading of the protected areas throughout the entire project duration.

Only from the interaction These requirements determine which protection solutions for the respective situation are generally suitable and will be presented, evaluated and agreed upon in a joint on-site meeting with all parties involved.

Which protection system was used?

To protect the sensitive natural stone surfaces, a floatingly laid protection system for use. It consisted of x:tek high-performance plastic driving mats as a protective coating, connectors for coupling the individual plates and a damping Rubber granulate mat as a separating layer between the protective covering and the existing paved surface. The separating layer helped to protect the subsoil, reduced potential noise emissions, and improved the positioning stability of the floating protective system.

  • Proven protection system for sensitive natural stone and paved surfaces
  • Flexible customization construction site traffic and public use
  • Easy laying, Upgrading and phased dismantling

Practical knowledge for construction projects in urban areas

For projects in public spaces, they decide Experience, voting and Practical knowledge often about the right protection solution. We support for over 20 years inner-city construction sites, construction site logistics and temporary protective areas for new construction, modernization, renovation, revitalization, deconstruction or infrastructure measures.
