AKH CTMT Vienna – Construction progress

The new building is designed as a reinforced concrete structure. The building area above the lecture hall is supported on level 9 with steel trusses and suspended with tension columns. The steel construction work is being carried out by METALLICA Stahl- und Fassadentechnik GmbH, with the work planning coming from the company of Thomas Lorenz. Moser Architects ZT GmbH is responsible for the architectural planning and Toms ZT GmbH is the structural engineer. A total of approx. 435 tons of steel processed and installed and approx. 120 million euros were invested in the overall construction project. Completion is planned for 2025. The steel, glass and façade construction department was allowed to visit the METALLICA plant in Weiz during the factory assembly of the individual truss components, which weigh up to almost 10 tons. Experiences were exchanged with the plant employees and some new insights into the plant’s internal processes were gained.
