Connecting bridge for Google in Dublin is assembled

In 2018, tech giant Google bought the "Bolands Quay" property in Dublin. Even before the two 14- and 13-story office towers were completed, it was decided to build two connecting bridges. These are located on the 4th and 11th floors. The steel structure of the upper bridge was lifted into place and installed at the end of July.

Thomas Lorenz ‘s team was entrusted by GIG Fassaden GmbH with the structural analysis of the steel structure and the facades of the two connecting bridges and the adjacent building facades in the area where the bridges connect. The architecture was penned by Henry J Lyons, with Arup providing the preliminary structural design.

The centrally placed truss leads to a floating impression. The structural analysis was prepared in close cooperation with the Irish auditor from the Arup office. In addition to the usual verifications, the load-bearing structures also had to be verified for impact sound-induced vibrations. Due to the limited space available on site, the installation concept was a challenge for the company. GIG from Attnang-Puchheim a special challenge. In the end, it was decided to lift the steel structure in individual parts using a 300-ton mobile crane and to assemble the bridge facades later using suspended scaffolding.

A total of almost 110 tons of steel will be used for both bridges. The total weight of both fully extended bridge structures is around 200 tons. Overall completion is scheduled for April 2024.

Construction progress on the “Adaptation and extension of Biomedicine Hahnhof” project

The location of biomedical research at Med-Uni-Graz is being expanded. According to the specifications of the Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft, the Biomedical Research Hahnhof, located in the northeastern part of the LKH, will be rebuilt and expanded. A 5-story addition to the east of the existing building and an addition to the north are planned.

Essentially, various structural changes will be made to the interior, such as breakthroughs, enlargement of rooms, reorganization of the changing area and the like, to make the building more attractive to users.

Work is currently taking place on the exterior, and the underpinning of the existing building using DSV columns has already been completed. The excavation of the foundation pit is carried out using the pilgering method, whereby a section is excavated and simultaneously secured with a back-anchored shotcrete shell. Currently, the concreting of the clean layer and the shotcrete protection for the excavation pit are being completed.

The general ÖBA and the test statics are taken over by the team of Thomas Lorenz ZT GmbH for this project. Production during operation is particularly challenging.
