The Deutsche Bank Investment Banking Center Frankfurt
This high-rise building, which was measuring nearly 100 m and had a seven-storey side-wing, accommodated the investment banking sector of the Deutsche Bank. Deutsche Bank sold the area that is often called Deutsche-Bank-Dreieck (Deutsche Bank triangle) where these and several adjoining buildings were located in 2015. Now, preparations for a four-tower high-rise complex that is expected to be completed in 2023 are being made. For that, the old buildings had to give way first.
The reshaping of this urban area is the largest inner-city construction site in Frankfurt for the time being.
The task
To be able to work as unfettered as possible, the tower crane used for dismantling needed to be able to operate freestanding at the required height. At the same time, it was required to have a high load-bearing capacity.
The work of the crane was not limited to removing building materials. Additionally, it needed to lift and position construction machinery.
The implementation
The building was gutted first and then conventionally deconstructed. All the different materials were removed, salvaged and disposed of professionally.
Our WT 420 e.tronic was responsible for the deconstruction of the high-rise building. With a freestanding tower height of 103.6 m, it was still able to carry 8 t at the tip of the jib. The formidable freestanding height was accomplished through a combination of different measures:
On a 12 × 12 m cross frame, we first mounted a base element with a width of 3.33 × 3.33 m. On top of that, we used several reinforced tower elements with 2.5 m and 2 m, the usual tower measurements of our modular system.
