Customer: Flughafen Wien AG
Construction period: 04.2006 – 12.2006
Location: Airport Vienna-Schwechat
Country: Austria

Phase 2B is one of many construction stages at the airport Schwechat executed by ALPINE that requires uncommon expert knowledge.

The construction is designed in general to high area and point loads and aeroplanes. This construction section is in the airport‘s so-called ‘Airside Zone’. A 3,000 m long ICAO compliant security fence was constructed around the construction site prior to beginning of the actual construction. This made the otherwise common passenger and security checks unnecessary. It would have been impossible to logistically and timely manage the high number of vehicles and suppliers – up to 350 persons and vehicles at the same time.

Special features
This type of construction with more than 2.10 m depth is very different from the usual road construction.

The construction period at the airport had to be kept as short as possible as it restricted air traffic. A huge cubature had to be moved. Thus the concrete and asphalt was manufactured directly at the airport.
