Implenia wins further large, complex new-build and modernisation projects in Switzerland - Seite 2

The building will be operated sustainably thanks to the Minergie-P-ECO building standard, a power grid based on an energy bank under the new building (270 geothermal probes) and a large-scale photovoltaic system on the roof. The project is being planned and executed with BIM (Building Information Modelling).

Modernisation projects in the German and French-speaking parts of Switzerland – energy-efficient renovation and conversion becoming increasingly important 
Switzerland has a high proportion of old properties, some of which have protected status. They have to be adapted to modern requirements and updated to be more energy-efficient. Jens Vollmar, Head Division Buildings at Implenia: “The preservation and protection of buildings is a high priority in Switzerland. However, these buildings still have to be used and operated economically and sustainably. With its strong focus on sustainability, Implenia brings long experience and comprehensive skills to the job of renovating existing buildings in accordance with customer requirements.”

Implenia has recently won four large, complex modernisation projects in the German and French-speaking parts of Switzerland. It has been asked to renovate the listed Draisine Hall (formerly the Swiss Locomotive and Machinery Factory), including kindergarten and primary school, at the Lokstadt site in Winterthur. The project, commissioned by owner Ina Invest, includes master builder work and wooden construction. On Dornacherstrasse in Basel, Division Buildings is renovating an occupied residential apartment building on behalf of a large Swiss bank. In Cugy (Canton Vaud) Implenia has been commissioned by the same bank to undertake comprehensive renovation of a large development in line with Minergie standards. Implenia is also modernising three occupied residential apartment buildings on Rue de Beaumont in Geneva on behalf of two real estate companies. These four modernisation contracts are worth over CHF 55 million in total.
