bremen – strabag group has launched a pioneering flagship project as part of its sustainability strategy. November 4, 2022Ph.D. Maike Schaefer, in bremen climate protection, environment, mobility, urban development and with Moritz Freyborn, Head of Housing Strabag SE, Dirk GrunebergSubdivision Manager STRABAG Environmental Technology, and Dark BrosioManaging Director STRABAG Umwelttechnik GmbHmarking the start of restoration and construction work Circular Construction & Technology Center at (C3) in bremen A former oil port.
As a pilot project, the Competence Center for Urban Mining and Construction Waste Treatment will lay the foundation for future resource-saving, low-carbon construction. The recycled building materials developed and acquired here will greatly contribute to the establishment of a recycling-oriented system in the future construction industry. bremen region. However, in the next two years, STRABAG Environmental Technology will first need to comprehensively and sustainably clean up the former refinery tank farm site, which was heavily contaminated with mineral oil. Phased construction of the building and plant technology he will begin in 2024. In the same year, a construction waste recycling facility is also scheduled to go into operation.
a great asset for ‘ bremen‘
“This project marks the beginning of a ground-breaking use concept. Once the contaminated areas have been rehabilitated and the mineral oil purified, a technical and research facility will be built on the site of the former oil port. Resource reprocessing. A competence center focused on will be energy self-sufficient and climate neutral. bremen In terms of economic, labor and of course environmental policy. We are delighted to begin this future-oriented project at today’s groundbreaking ceremony. ” Maike Schaefer, in bremen climate protection, environment, mobility, urban development and housing. ‘That’s our desire strabag group Play a leading role in promoting the development of sustainable and resource-saving construction processes and products. The extraction of valuable secondary raw materials is a key component of achieving the goal of climate neutrality across the value chain by 2040. We are pleased to develop STRABAG Environmental Technology’s first recycling center here. bremen And to be able to contribute the full range of our expertise – first in restoration and later in recycling of building materials.” Dark BrosioManaging Director of STRABAG Environmental Technology.
Resource-saving and sustainable restoration
The redevelopment concept for the 13-hectare site foresees the complete relocation and encapsulation of the existing soil reserves on the site. Prior to this, the contaminated site is surveyed to identify recyclable building materials that can later be used as a base layer, for example in the construction of the site. The site is cleared of explosives, the soil is excavated and separated according to mechanical properties, and measurements are taken to determine the concentration of hazardous substances in the soil before further treatment if necessary. We only dispose of waste that cannot be left on site for reasons such as environmental and groundwater protection. The next step is to redeploy the existing stockpile. This greatly reduces the need for trucking and the associated carbon footprint.
Climate-neutral and autonomous energy operation
STRABAG Circular Construction & Technology Center It is constructed using sustainable construction methods and primarily using climate-friendly building materials such as wood and recycled concrete. Upon completion, the facility will operate in an energy self-sufficient and climate-neutral capacity. Electricity is generated by solar power, combining heat from heat pumps with ground-level geothermal energy. Energy storage units help absorb peak loads. Rainwater collection systems allow construction waste treatment and sanitation facilities to operate without consuming additional water. A green roof with a reservoir for water storage and a moss wall (STRABAG ClAir Elements) to reduce noise and particulate matter serve as biological habitats.
technology and research
About 130 people from various places strabag group A new center for mining and construction waste treatment in the city will employ an entity. The goal is ambitious: to separate the debris material and reuse it as a secondary raw material so that it can be used as an equivalent substitute for the primary raw material, for example in the production of asphalt or concrete. For the continuous optimization and further development of technical processes, strap bag Expand the center into a technology and research facility with a start-up campus for construction waste recycling and other environmental technology business areas. Working with universities, testing laboratories and professional bodies, the facility will research and develop new recycling options for tomorrow’s circular economy.
C3 project bremen that is of the STRABAG Group First Competence Center for Sustainable Circularity. STRABAG Environmental Technology will set up and operate additional circular construction centers elsewhere. Europe future.
