Your average city centre development
Your average city centre development site isn’t where you would expect to find a 100 tonne Caterpillar excavator working. But when you visit downtown Zurich and the region’s premier multi-disciplinarians Eberhard, nothing is out of the question!
The University Hospital of Zurich (USZ) was founded in 1833 and is one of five similar centres in Switzerland. In one form or another, the USZ location was always a site for hospitals, with the first one erected 800 years ago. Remodelled and redeveloped over the years, the hospital is currently undergoing further works to enhance the treatment centres within the organisation.
Working together with another of Switzerland’s foremost construction companies, Marti, Eberhard are currently part way through the excavation for a new, huge eight storey basement complex which will provide space for a new emergency centre, over 300 beds and 23 operating theaters. The site had already been cleared of existing structures prior to Eberhard’s commencement on site. With works starting at a pace, Marti Spezialtiefbau installed over 4km of bored piles to ensure the existing structures and the ground they sat on remained stable. As the site is on a slope, Eberhard carefully designed their operations to use the point at which the site is level with Gloriastrasse to allow for easy access for vehicles to and from site.
With over 180,000m3 of material to be removed from the site to allow the construction works to take place, the company has employed some of the largest machinery in their fleet. Of the 180,000m3 of material to be extracted, over 50% is made up of sandstone layers of varying hardness. The first layers were extracted using buckets and ripper attachments on the company’s CAT excavators but as the dig deepens, the material gradually gets harder and the team on site led by Philipp Kast has had to resort to adding several Rammer hammers into the mix.
