Germany – Structural shell work – Gebäude 38.2, Neubau Orthopädie-OP,Erd-, Verbau-, Infrastruktur- und Rohbau-, Dachabdichtungsarbeiten

The Saarland, represented by the Ministry of the Interior, Construction and Sport, represented by Department IV of the Saarland University Medical Centre, plans the new construction of an orthopaedic operating theatre on the premises of the Saarland University Medical Centre (UKS). The measure includes the creation of approximately 1,022 m2 of usable space for rooms such as operating theatres, induction, recovery and monitoring, anaesthesia, preparation, storage areas, offices and ancillary rooms. The space programme envisages a 2.5-storey building (basement, ground floor, first floor). The top floor will only accommodate an elevator machine room, which as a single room will have a much smaller area than the floor below. The building will be constructed as a solid structure with reinforced concrete slabs, reinforced concrete beams, walls made of reinforced concrete and reinforced concrete columns. Masonry will be used for non-load-bearing partition walls in the basement. The basement of the orthopaedic operating theatre is planned in situ concrete as a waterproof construction (external components), with fresh concrete composite film in special construction. For the internal walls and the further floors, reinforced concrete prefabricated elements will be used, partly as exposed concrete surfaces with a protective layer that meets the increased hygiene requirements of the sterile area. The roof surface will be designed as a flat roof (inverted roof construction) as a retention area with extensive greening and a PV system. The building envelope will be insulated all around and equipped with a ventilated facade, with the exception of the points of direct connection to the existing building 38.1. Highly thermally insulated window and external door elements will be used. The facade is divided into ceramic, sheet metal and external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) facade.
