WT 555L e.tronic

Radius

Base 10 × 10 m cross
A new location for the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) and the Medicines Evaluation Board (MEB)
On the grounds of the FAFC Went Building, which previously housed the departments of biology and pharmaceutics, an 18-story glass tower for the RIVM and the MEB is to be built. When dismantling buildings, the University of Utrecht has been committed to a sustainable execution since 2011. This also applied to the FAFC Went Building, whose building materials are reused or recycled as much as possible.
The task
Since the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment works with devices that are very sensitive to vibrations, the architecture of the building has to comply to those needs. In this case, this led to considerable delays concerning the start of construction, as it was discovered that the original design of the building did not meet the requirements. Also, the construction itself is now more complex and will take a year longer than planned to complete.

A crane is to be built on each of the three building cores, that house the stairwells. Working from there, the cranes will erect the facade of the building. The cranes work in a confined space, but need relevant ranges to cover all areas of the building. Nevertheless, they must not get in each other's way.
The implementation
Luffing cranes are perfect for this type of operation because the movable jibs allow them to give each other space. Two WT 335L e.tronic and our new luffing crane  WT 555L e.tronic are working on this construction site. The pictures show how the three cranes work from the stair towers. Completion is planned for autumn 2021.

Specialised Crane at Grand Tower, Frankfurt

At Grand Tower in Frankfurt, the facade and the balconies/loggias are attached currently. This task was taken on by a WILBERT specialised crane mounted on the roof of the building.

JaBee Tower, Dübendorf (CH)

The highest residential tower in Switzerland is being built in Dübendorf near Zurich. Five commercial premises on the ground floor and 218 rental apartments are distributed over a tower height of 100 m. Due to the proximity to the airport, the crane was dismantled at night after the suspension of flight operations.

WILBERT Laufkatzkrane auf der Baustelle des HRW-Campus

Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences, Mülheim

HWR’s new campus was built on an area of approx. 40,000 m² between September 2012 and December 2015. Four WILBERT trolley cranes were used: 3× WT 200 e.tronic and 1× WT 320 e.tronic.

REA Turow, Bogatynia (PL)

Here, the task of the WT 2405L e.tronic was the chimney modernisation in a densely built-up area: The existing filters had to be replaced by new, better performing filters at dizzying heights. The crane was assembled at a low height and then erected by crawling for this purpose.
Zwei WT 200 e.tronic und WT 150 e.tronic an der Wohnanlage Feuerbachtraße

Housing Development Feuerbachstraße, Frankfurt

A residential complex comprising 126 luxury apartments and an underground garage with 220 parking spaces was built in Feuerbachstraße in Frankfurt. Construction was completed in 2015. Four WILBERT cranes were used: 2× WT 150 e.tronics and 2× WT 200 e.tronics.
Mehrere WILBERT Krane an der neuen OpernTurm Baustelle

OpernTurm, Frankfurt

The 170m skyscraper was completed in spring 2016 and comprises an impressive 62,500 m² of usable space on 42 storeys. During the construction phase, two WT 300 e.tronics and one WT 205L e.tronic were used.
Getreidesilo im Hafen von Brake

Grain Storage Silos, Brake

38 honeycomb-shaped silos in total measuring 61 m in length, 22 m in width and 83 m in height were erected in the port of Brake, Germany, by a WT 200 e.tronic and a WT 300 e.tronic using the slip-form method.
