Aesthetic architecture in concrete for a utility building
Project data
| Project | Shaft-top building |
| Completion | 2016 |
| Location | Kulch Tunnel near Lichtenfels |
| Purpose | Deutsche Bahn AG is building a continuous rail line between Nuremberg and Berlin. Among the works necessary is the Kulch Tunnel. |
| Formwork systems |
|
| Special features | Textured formliners and formwork panels supplied ready for immediate use on site. This is beneficial above all for in-situ concrete sites, where there are often no level, clean set-down areas, and temperature fluctuations can make gluing the formliners in place problematical. |
