The Esslingen University needs more space and is building a large campus in the former railway freight yard area of the city of Esslingen (D). The foundation stone was laid at the end of 2021. Construction under the lead of Züblin GmbH, Stuttgart is progressing steadily. It quickly became clear that with such a large project, the exposed concrete walls on the inside would have to be protected during the construction phase. Since our edge protection can be installed and removed very quickly with the tension clamps, Züblin was interested in the system. The high mechanical protection without discolouration of the concrete was completely convincing. On the construction site, 1350 bars were installed in record time after concreting. These will reliably protect the concrete edges during the construction phase so that no more finishing will be necessary. Afterwards, they will be used on other construction sites, as the system can be used for years.
