800 t modular scaffolding for a new building at Leuphana University Lüneburg

The new central building consists of four interconnected individual buildings. The 40 m high research center is located in the center. The auditorium, seminar center and student center are built around the perimeter. The facades are designed to overhang by up to 30 degrees. The design comes from the well-known architect Daniel Libeskind, who, among other things, also designed the Jewish Museum in Berlin and won the competition for the new World Trade Center building in New York.

To install the façade cladding, Teupe is erecting shoring, protection and working scaffolds that follow the contour of the building and some of which are free-standing. The lower components of the auditorium, seminar center and student center must be cantilevered over in order to be able to work on the facades of the research center. Extensive structural calculations and 3-D working drawings were prepared for a total of 18 wall surfaces with different façade slope angles.

Over 570 t of steel sections and heavy-duty trusses were used

For the realization of the cantilever bridges, cantilevers from within the building as well as other special structures have been erected. Over 570 t of steel sections and heavy-duty scaffold trusses with an overall height of 2.30 m were used for this purpose. The actual scaffold structures for working on the facade were erected in modular construction and had to be designed with widths of up to 7.00 m to accommodate the various angles of inclination. A total of 800 t of modular scaffolding will be used for the four building sections. Due to the predominantly free-standing design of the scaffold structures, over 400 t of ballast will be used.

Scaffolding work has been underway since November 2014; the last scaffolds will be needed in 2017.
