Germany – Demolition, site preparation and clearance work – Evangelisches Klinikum Gelsenkirchen Neubau Psychiatrie - Abbrucharbeiten

The planned demolition measure is for site clearance for an extension to the ev. Klinikum Gelsenkirchen. This includes the demolition of the former Amtsgericht Gelsenkirchen (a 3- or 5-storey building with a hipped/ gabled roof or flat roof) and an adjacent 2-storey institutional building with various extensions. Additionally, there is an underground former air-raid shelter (bunker) from World War II on the site, which is also to be demolished. The total volume of the buildings to be demolished is approximately 60,000 m3 (GFA). The buildings of the former Amtsgericht are partially basemented and border directly on the carriageway (pavement and road) of Overwegstraße. The buildings were constructed at different times, the former Amtsgericht (old building) at the turn of the century and the extension after World War II, partially basemented and in some areas at risk of collapse. In some areas of the buildings, the professional dismantling and proper disposal of various hazardous demolition materials such as asbestos, PCB, KMF, etc. must be carried out. The entire demolition takes place in an inner-city environment with immediately adjacent neighbouring buildings and thus places high demands on the sequence and logistics of the demolition work.
