- The core issue is the optimisation of escape routes in the event of a fire. This is why all three levels of the underground station are being redesigned and extended, made accessible, and technically adapted to current standards
- The south-east cross-passage (Blumenstrasse exit) and the north-west cross-passage (Sonnenstrasse exit) are two extension buildings with additional exits for operating and technical rooms
- Limited space and remodelling during ongoing operations (underground, tram, and road traffic). This means: deep excavation pits with overlapping bored pile walls (back-anchored or braced), icing at the connections of the new cross-passages to the existing tunnel tubes
“Thanks to BIM, during the planning stage, we uncovered conflicts that would otherwise have emerged only during construction and led to delays in construction”.
