Starting in southern Burgenland, the journey went first through Styria to Carinthia and on to East and South Tyrol. In Bolzano, he did not miss a detour to the construction site of the “Walther Park”. In the near future, a huge building complex consisting of 78 apartments, 35 investment apartments, 80 stores and 780 parking spaces will be built here. Krisztian statically calculated the mockup of various facade areas.

From there, the tour continued towards the Ortler Alps and Switzerland with the route via Merano, Stilfs, Zernez, Davos, Lake Walen and Zurich to the German border. Near Basel followed the transition to Germany in the direction of the Black Forest and Freiburg. The next border passed was the French one and the tour went through Selestat, Nancy and Reims to the Atlantic coast in Calais. There, Krisztian took the ferry to Dover with gusto and had it take him to England. On the 10th day of the adventurous journey, the final destination London was reached.

There, too, Thomas Lorenz ZT GmbH has already immortalized itself with the structural analysis of some impressive facades. In addition to visiting these objects, Krisztian enjoyed the city full of spectacular buildings and, in a way, was able to expand his know-how and gather ideas for new creative solutions that will certainly find their use in future projects.

After 10 days, 1,780 kilometers ridden on the road bike and 20,000 meters of altitude climbed, London was a successful end to a vacation that had been used extensively. In his words:

“Such journeys shape people deep inside. This can be helpful for both private and working life. The combination of sport activity, getting to know cultures as well as visiting different building objects makes such a tour perfect. From the point of view of facade statics, I think London is the city of facade projects.”

Recovered and as always top motivated we are available again as usual from 22.08.2022!

The bridge, built in 1964, consists of reinforced concrete piers and a steel structure. The piers and foundation will be strengthened, and the supporting structure will be completely redone. The old supporting structure will be coupled with the new supporting structure preassembled in Ruden and pushed out and in with hydraulic presses in the direction of Bleiburg. After all, the old steel structure weighs 1,900 tons. This is disassembled and transported away by rail. A new sidewalk and bike path will also be constructed. The project is considered one of the last pieces of the ÖBB Coralmbahn line puzzle.

Preparatory measures are currently taking place, and work on the supporting structure is scheduled to start at the end of the year. As early as next year, trains are expected to travel over the rail bridge again at speeds of up to 250 km/h.

Thomas Lorenz and his team are working on various construction support measures for Swietelsky AG on this project. To date, for example, parts of the pier head frame and a cable bridge have been calculated and foundations for the assembly site have been planned.

Attached are a few impressive pictures of the mega structure, you can find an impressive video about the construction here: #ÖBBbauenauf construction start conversion work Jauntalbrücke – YouTube

Under the most pleasant running conditions and cheered on by the office’s own fan club, sensational times were run and internal best performances were topped.

After so much running and cheering, the tried and true TLo tradition of “Pizza&Bier” comes in handy! Donated by the company and organized by our Bianca, the successful sporting event was toasted in a large group and chatted until late in the evening.

Whether at the business run or in the office, one thing is clear – the TLo team always goes full throttle!

Module 1 opened in 2017, and anatomy is in the process of completion. Construction of Module 2 began in October 2018, and now the set-up phase is beginning. The entire Med Campus should then be structurally complete by the end of the year. BIG is investing more than EUR 400 million in the overall project, while the costs for Module 2 amount to around EUR 100 million. With around 90,000 m², the Med Campus will then be one of the largest university buildings in Austria.

Thomas Lorenz ZT GmbH is responsible for the ÖBA as well as the test statics for this project.

Despite the pandemic and the Ukraine crisis, all deadlines were met.

This pleases the dedicated team of Thomas Lorenz!

The award ceremony took place during the 2022 Construction Congress and again in the usual manner at the Austria Center in Vienna. Actually, this was already planned for 2020, but Corona threw a spanner in the works. All the greater was the joy of those involved when receiving the “KOOP Infrastructure” award for the project “A23 General Rehabilitation Inzersdorfer Hochstraße”. The representatives were Ing. Thomas Kozakow (Asfinag/client), DI Jürgen Kraker, DI (FH) Martin Pramhas and DI Bernhard Schweighofer (ARGE TLorenz-IBBS/planners), Ing. Lucas Fürstauer (Spirk & Partner/ ÖBA) and Alastair Winchester Meng (ARGE Strabag-Habau-Porr/ Bauausführung).

Congratulations to all involved – this makes the realization of a construction project fun!
