New construction warehouse Jungheinrich AG, Hirschthal, Schöftland
2009
New storage resources were needed at the Jungheinrich company site in Hirschthal. To achieve this, a warehouse with a large forecourt roof in wood was planned.
The project
The initial idea was to build a steel hall in the style of the main building. The high price of steel contributed to the search for an alternative, and so the client came up with wood as a building material. The lower costs were convincing - and the case showed that wooden halls can economically compete with steel structures.
The construction method
Twin girders made of glulam were chosen as the main girders, the girder dimension was 880 x 220 mm. The secondary structure consisted of ribbed slabs, the ribs made of glulam were glued above grade, rib dimension 320/80 mm, thickness of the three-layer slabs 42 mm. Wind bracing was provided by Swiss-Gewi bars arranged diagonally, with loads transferred directly to the foundations. Sandwich panels (d= 100mm) were used as external wall cladding.
