The Better Energy project is a fascinating charging station that shows the future of green mobility infrastructure by combining best practices from the energy, ecology, and construction industries.
A particularly exciting customer project is the high-speed toll station by Jiangsu Jingong Space Structure Co., Ltd. In this project, a membrane is supported by an innovative arch truss, which has an interesting appearance and also special properties.
The transition to more sustainable energy sources is a global priority today. In this sense, the construction of a multi-energy station in Les Sables-d'Olonne, in the Vendée department (85), is an innovative and promising project. This station, consisting of three canopies with a height of 7.5 m (24.5 ft) and a total length of 40 m (131 ft), represents a significant investment to promote low-carbon mobility and local green energy. GH Hervouet, a customer of Dlubal Software, was responsible for the entire project, including carpentry, roofing and cladding.
This project is about the construction of an elevator shaft to replace the existing staircase and provide access to the underpass. The shaft was made of surface components consisting of reinforced concrete, ensuring its stability and durability with control of cracking at the same time.
A modern 6-seater chairlift called sixpack Mooslehen opened in Filzmoos, Austria on December 17, 2021, right on time for the start of the ski season. The construction time for the entire project was only six months. The company m3-ZT, an Austrian customer of Dlubal, was responsible for the structural analysis, using the FEA program RFEM.
The station building is an organic shaped steel structure consisting of three connected parts. The left and right building sections are formed by curved Vierendeel truss beams extruding from the main Vierendeel truss down to the reinforced concrete foundation. These main trusses are supported by a row of columns with additional vertical bracing.
At the request of Dutchrigger BV, T&E Support performed the structural analysis for an aluminum structure used in the Chinese TV station Jiangsu TV’s New Year's Eve show.
The architectural highlight of the Halle (Saale) bus station includes stylish canopies over the bus platforms. The continuous lights integrated at the roof edges are a real eye-catcher, especially at night.
After more than 2 1/2 years of construction, the world’s highest 3S cableway, "Matterhorn glacier ride", opened at the end of September 2018. The $55 million project was developed to increase passenger capacity to the Klein Matterhorn, at an altitude of 12,802 ft. Additionally, it is now possible to keep the service running when performing maintenance work on the existing tramway.
The new roofing system for the GULFIN Cameroun oil company's filling station in Douala is a particular structure with eccentric columns and non-symmetric cantilevered 21-foot-long beams.
With the Crossrail railroad line in Great Britain, one of the biggest infrastructure projects of Europe is in progress. The construction costs for the 73-mile railroad line amount to about €21 billion. It runs from Reading in Berkshire in the west to Shenfield in Essex in the east, crossing through the center of London.
A branch line runs under the Thames to Woolwich and ends at the recently completed Abbey Wood Station. Its extraordinary timber roof construction has the shape of a huge manta ray which seems to hover above the station.
At a height of around 6,889 ft you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Dolomites with a delicious meal. Since 2016 these amenities have been available at the top station of the Obereggen skiing area, South Tyrol. The Oberholz alpine hut restaurant, with its exceptional architecture, fits perfectly into the surrounding landscape.
The railroad station forecourt at Piazza Garibaldi is fifteen acres in size and includes parks, gardens, and fountains. Between 2005 and 2013, it was renovated along with the metro station of the same name.
A unique roof structure covering the bus station was built in the Swiss town of Aarau at the end of 2013. The canopy has a cloud-like shape and contains the largest single-chamber cushion in the world. It has a volume of 63,920 ft3 and a roofed area of 11,517 ft2.
A unique timber structure has been located in the heart of London since the end of March 2014. In a period of just six months, the Austrian company WIEHAG built the roof with a total length of 984.2 ft for the Crossrail railroad station situated in the Canary Wharf business district.
During the Antarctic summer months of 2010/2011 and 2011/12, a new research station was built in East Antarctica for the Indian Ministry for Earth Sciences. The design and planning came from the German offices of bof architekten and IMS Ingenieurgesellschaft in Hamburg, Germany.
The complex structural system consists of an enveloping steel structure and a total of 134 special containers integrated to transfer vertical and horizontal loads. The final structural analysis was carried out by the German engineering office of KSF in Bremerhaven.
When the German RegioTram was connected to the central station in Kassel, a tunnel was built under the main station; thus, it became a transport junction for the entire region.
The South African energy provider Eskom is building one of the world's largest coal-fired power stations in Medupi, 248.5 mi north of Johannesburg; the station has 4800 MW of power.
One of the most modern power stations for energy production, based on renewable resources, can be found in Schwendi, Southern Germany. Following the design of Milan architect Matteo Thun, an architecturally sophisticated framework consisting of reinforced concrete, steel, and timber has been created.
The grate scaffolding of the biomass power plant in Berlin-Neukölln, Germany, is a structure with a high temperature load.
The engineering office of Jürgen Ehlenz from Beckingen, a long-time Dlubal customer, was responsible for the structural analysis of the grate scaffolding with moving parts, as well as for the construction and design of the piping.
