Eiger Express, Grindelwald
BauCon ZT GmbH was commissioned by Doppelmayr Seilbahnen GmbH with the structural engineering of the ropeway structure of the bottom and top stations as well as the support foundations.
Starting from the bottom station in the Grindelwald terminal with a connection to the Bernese Oberlandbahn, the 3S ropeway with 44 gondolas, each with 26 seats, connects Grindelwald with the Eigergletscher station. After a spectacular 15-minute ride over 7 supports, a length of 6,483 m, a difference in altitude of 1,385 m and with an impressive view of the Eiger North Face, the Eiger Express takes guests directly up to the ski area and onto the slopes. At the top station Eigergletscher there is also a direct connection to the Jungfrau Railway.
Glass Skywalk for Bründl Sports Flagstore Complete design
Structural Glazing
Baucon has designed already several structural glazing projects.
Also the supervision of such execution works is in our scope of work.
Newest highlight is the 10m free cantilevering Skywalk for Bründl Sports Flagstore at Kaprun/Austria bearing structure parts are of glass with special requirements.
Our Client Christoph Bründl has ordered the design and statical calculations from Baucon, thanks for that!
Seele has produced the glass structure and the assembly at site perfectly.
Guanyin Statue & Museum – Vietnam Bronze statue of a buddhist deity in the mekong delta
The base of the statue is also used as a museum and is made of reinforced concrete construction. In addition to exhibition rooms on two floors, the building houses the central hall, spanned by a dome, directly under the feet of the Buddha statue. Eight concrete arches support the weight of the statue. On the pagoda-like roof, several viewing levels are accessible to visitors. Thus, following the custom, it will be possible to touch the feet of the statue. BauCon ZT GmbH, together with its local subsidiary BauCon Hanoi, was responsible for the general design of the statue structure and the museum.
National Park Gallery Skywalks pull in the visitors
Within the scope of the Nationalpark-Gallery, Gletscherbahnen Kaprun AG is building several spectacular Skywalks on the Kitzsteinhorn at an altitude of over 3,000 meters.
Extreme weather conditions with wind speeds beyond 200 km/h and its exposed location pose difficult and striking challenges to construction and the design of details.
Biatron Snow village on the occasion of the biathlon world championship
BauCon was in charge of the structural design of the buildings, which are in some cases quite technically sophisticated.
The BIATRON in Hochfilzen, built on the occasion of the biathlon world championship, includes the following buildings or parts of buildings, made to a large extent of snow and ice:
Great dome - Steel lattice formwork dome with a diameter of 20 m!, small domes, labyrinth, ice pillars, grotto, ice tunnel as well as massive outer walls made of ice.
CFC support structure reinforcements Systematic use of CFRP structural reinforcements in building and bridge construction.
The technology of CFC reinforcements of concrete and wooden parts for retrofittings or renovations is more and more a matter of routine in superstructure work and bridge construction.
It entails impressive possibilities of maintaining existing structures and adapting them to new types of use and stress situations.
