About the project
The foundation works had to take into account the fact that the site was formerly a brickworks pit with backfill and loose soil, and therefore the works were carried out using a rarely used method called soil displacement deep piling (FDP piling method). This involved drilling 8.5 m deep boreholes with a diameter of 60 cm at 400 locations using a drill bit specially developed for this technology, so that the piles were driven laterally while the drill bit was retracted and concrete was pushed into the borehole through the drill stem, thus displacing the soil laterally, with little soil displacement. The reinforcing steel reinforcement was placed in the holes after the concrete had been poured.
The supporting structure of the hall was largely made of precast reinforced concrete elements, supplemented by monolithic sections. The main supporting pillars are of curved design and precast.
The steel lattice roof structure, weighing 160 tonnes and spanning a distance of 46 metres, is connected by special bolts weighing approximately one tonne in total.
