Model Data of Top Layer
The architectural highlight of the Halle (Saale) bus station include the stylish canopies over the bus platforms. The continuous lights integrated at the roof edges are the real eye-catcher especially at night.
The canopies consist of steel structures with arched roofs. PVC-PES membranes and mesh fabric provide protection against the elements such as rain and snow.
The 4 million euro bus station renovation included important attention to accessibility.
The Dlubal customer zapf & co. performed the structural analysis, detailed design, and membrane work planning. RSTAB was used for the membranes calculation.
