Wheelset Warehouse for SBB Repair Centre, Zurich-Altstetten
Swiss Steel Construction Award Prix Acier 2018
The single-storey hall is located amidst listed buildings on the site of the SBB Repair Centre in Zurich-Altstetten. Railway cars and even locomotives can be pushed under the roof of the hall using a transfer table. The new roof provides space for storing wheelsets and recyclables. The supporting structure of the roof construction rests on six in-situ concrete columns. This allows high flexibility of the supporting structure for future use.
