Barracks, Krampnitz

Krampnitz, Germany / 04.2021 - 06.2023

A new urban district is being built on the 140-hectare former barracks site in Krampnitz in the north of Potsdam. Between Krampnitzsee, Fahrländer See and Döberitzer Heide, housing for 10,000 people will be created over the next few years. In total, a road network of more than 10 km is to be built in Krampnitz. The Berlin branch was commissioned by Entwicklungsträger Potsdam GmbH with the dismantling of the old road reinforcement, accompanying civil engineering works of archaeological excavations as well as the development works for 5 planned roads.

The excavators have been rolling on the former military site in Potsdam since March 2021. The transport route engineering team carried out the dismantling of the old roadway pavement, the existing pipes, drainage structures and heating ducts, as well as the subsequent backfilling. The construction of the site roads for further construction lots was also part of the tasks. The planned roads were dismantled, archaeologically examined and provided with construction roads.

Mindful work on military premises

Earthworks on a military site always require special attention: explosive ordnance, in particular from the Second World War

Civil engineering works within the framework of archaeological excavations

still pose a problem and a danger. In the search for unexploded ordnance, our colleagues carried out the excavation work with extreme caution and attention. The construction machines used are equipped with additional protective devices. The excavation was removed layer by layer to detect signs of explosive ordnance. These steps were carried out under the professional Accompaniment of a fireworks display.

The cautious work is not only necessary in the context of the explosive ordnance probe, but also in areas of the archaeological excavations that are being carried out on the large construction site.

Develop land and make it suitable for development

After the team had already provided earthworks support for the dismantling of the old road pavements and the archaeological excavations in award unit 01 of the 1st construction phase in 2021, Oevermann was also awarded the contract for award units 02, 04 and 10 for development work on several streets in a joint venture. These contracts include the road construction, the construction of the road drainage as well as the pavements and the accompanying greenery of the planned roads.

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