Barracks development

Krampnitz, Germany / 04.2021 - 06.2023

A new urban quarter is being developed on the former barracks site in Krampnitz, north of Potsdam, which covers an area of around 140 ha. As part of the development, new transport and infrastructure facilities are being constructed. The PORR Berlin branch was commissioned by Entwicklungsträger Potsdam GmbH to carry out dismantling of existing road surfaces, provide geotechnical support for archaeological investigations, as well as carry out infrastructure works for five planned roads.

Dismantling and developments on a former barracks site

Since March 2021, existing road surfaces, pipes, drainage systems and heating ducts have been dismantled on the former military site. This was followed by backfilling work as well as the construction of site access roads for further construction lots.

Work relating to explosive ordnance detection

Earthworks on the former military site formed a key part of the construction project. The work was carried out in accordance with the requirements of explosive ordnance detection as well as under specialist supervision.

The construction machinery used was fitted with additional protective equipment. Soil excavation was carried out in layers to facilitate the investigations. The work was carried out under the supervision of a blaster.

Supervision of earthworks during archaeological investigations

In addition to the explosive ordnance survey, archaeological investigations were carried out on the site. PORR supervised the necessary earthworks and assisted in preparing the areas for the subsequent development works.

Development of several planned roads

Following completion of the initial works, PORR was awarded further contracts for contract packages 02, 04 and 10 as part of a joint venture. These comprised the construction of roads, drainage systems, pavements as well as accompanying green spaces along several planned roads. The works were carried out as part of the development of the new Krampnitz urban district.

What ultimately counts in the construction business is successfully completed projects. PORR has many of these.
