The U-Bahn in Essen is a local traffic system for the cities of Essen, M\u00fclheim an der Ruhr and Gelsenkirchen. It is a mixed system consisting of sub-urban railway and (full) underground that is routed partly above ground.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Frost and road salt had heavily clogged the 4 above ground subway platforms in Essen for years. Iron girders corroder, expanded and finally cracked the concrete of the platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The necessary renovation was planned for 6 weeks in the summer school vacation and was supposed to guarantee considerably longer durability in the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The weather plays a deciding role when working concrete outdoors. A risk, which must be included in the calculations for tight deadlines when planning the construction sequence. The time required for working the material was reduced from 28 to 14, minimising the risk through use of specialised concrete and very well-planned time management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In planning execution, a system was designed that facilitated parallel work by our employees at all four location after the platforms were rebuilt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was therefore possible to repair the damaged and chlorine-polluted upper section (and partially the walkways) in a timely fashion. All load-bearing components of the platform now have durable protection from corrosion.<\/p>\n\n\n
