Hotel and Apartment Complex on Frohnhauser Strasse, Essen
Essen, Germany / 04.2018 - 02.2020
A hotel and apartment complex with underground parking, designed and developed by the âAndreas Deilmann Familienstiftungâ, is being built in Essen, not far from the city centre. Once completed, the building will comprise a hotel with 142 rooms, 194 micro-apartments, and retail space on the ground floor. It will also feature an underground car park with 72 parking spaces.
Optimisation thanks to precast elements
Due to the tight schedule and the limited storage facilities on the construction site, the site team elected to construct the majority of the concrete structure as filigree walls and floors. The balconies and stairs were delivered as precast elements; the surfaces of the precast stairs had to be specially protected throughout the construction period.

Improved occupational health and safety
Occupational safety was enhanced by the use of the Doka âFreeFalconâ mobile anchor mast system. This is a fall arrester with a safety harness to secure construction crew members while ensuring a working radius of up to 10m. No additional trip hazards were created because the anchor point is situated above head height.
