Shortly before Christmas, 36 tonnes of timber engineered glulam elements for the huge structure at Agro Expo fair buildings in Chengdu (CN) were shipped by air cargo. The building complex consists of five huge arched halls with a total ground area of 75,000 m2, with free spans of well over 115 m and supporting timber structure heights of over 40 m.

We are delighted that Häring has secured the contract to plan and manufacture the timber structure of two buildings for the Sichuan Agricultural Expo in Chengdu. The two permanent buildings cover an area of 169 x99 metres and 115 x 99 metres respectively, and measure over 40 metres in height.

At the beginning of September, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the “Park auf der Egg” project in Frenkendorf, situated in the Canton of Basel-Landschaft. This project is being carried out by Häring for an investor and a private client and features two apartment buildings and one detached house that meet the Swiss Minergie standard, along with one shared underground car park.

Construction work at the Ministry for Environment and Energy (AUE) in Basel is making swift progress. Assembly work on the storeys began at the end of March 2020. When it came to erecting the building, the skeleton’s supports were first put into place, the main and secondary beams were then incorporated between the supports and the ceiling elements were installed.

Construction work for the new wildlife overpass across the A1 motorway in Suhr has been under way since January this year. In the night from 13 to 14 September, our assembly workers completed the last of their fifteen night shifts and managed to finish the bulk of the work.

Under way since 2016, work to revamp the west wing of Basel SBB railway station is expected to draw to an close in spring 2021. As Basel SBB railway station is situated in a listed building, public officials responsible for historical monument preservation in the canton have been heavily involved in planning the renovation.

We are delighted that the tender we submitted with Halter AG and Lussi + Partner AG from Lucerne for a new building at the Heilpädagogisches Zentrum in Ibach was successful.

At Sperrstrasse 7 in Basel’s city centre, five new modern apartments are taking shape. The existing building, which dated back to 1883, has been torn down and is now being rebuilt in the resulting gap using sustainable modular timber construction methods.
